Friends, if you want to have a big, stonking laugh, do watch Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mike Huckabee. We all know I don’t like Tucker because he’s anti-Ukrainian and says the most moronic things about Russia but in this interview he cooked Huckabee. He made mince pies out of Huckabee. There’s a new special on the menu called Hucka-hash.
This isn’t because Tucker is some sort of a genius. He’s not. He blew the interview with Putin who is not known for high IQ, let’s put it that way. Tucker slayed Huckabee because Huckabee was advancing a narrative of Israel’s statehood that is a losing narrative. I’ve been saying this for years as somebody who is quite friendly towards Israel. Also, Huckabee lied a lot, in a very clumsy, bumbling way but whatever.
The narrative of statehood I’m referring to is “we’ve been here for 3,000 years, so we have a right to have a nation-state here.” To Americans who most definitely haven’t been in their land for 3,000 years, this does not sound cute and endearing. This sounds like their own nationhood is being denigrated. It’s always a good idea to consider how your argument comes across to the people hearing it.
And by the way, I say the exact same thing to Ukrainians when they start on who lived where in the BC and the Sarmatians and who’s the real Slav and who’s actually a Finn. It’s moronic, I tell them. Kharkiv shouldn’t be bombed today entirely outside of whether the inhabitants of the Kyivan Rus considered themselves Ukrainian. Which they didn’t because people didn’t think in terms of today’s nationhood a thousand years ago.
The nation-state is a historically new formation. Even the nation-states that don’t look new very much are. France, for example, was stitched from very different ethnicities and brutally destroyed the linguistic, ethnic and cultural communities that existed on the territory of what is France today. Are we going to start doing DNA tests and reordering the planet accordingly?
There’s much more but I don’t want to torture people with an excessively long post.

You can believe the Ukrainians are in the wrong in the war and not be anti-Ukrainian. Im very sympathetic to their Bandera following but that does not excuse the 2014 CIA coup or the provocation of Russia in the years afterwards. If your are going to get into bed with NATO and the globalist jews you’re going to get fleas, see Sadaam Hussein who attacked Iran at the encouragement of Israel and the US.

There was no CIA coup in 2014. And there was no provocation of Russia. This is as ludicrous as “men can be women.” It’s embarrassing to say such things.
It’s ok not to know about other regions. It’s perfectly fine not to care to find out. But it’s not ok to be an AOC and blab excitedly about stuff you simply don’t know.
Now go pout about “rights” and how “Trump doesn’t care.”

Subconsciously, part of why many Americans are sympathetic to Israel is that they are a young nation as well. Foolish for Huckabee to undermine that.

I thought Huckabee was smarter. Now I don’t know why I thought that.
