Tucker Carlson, who admittedly would never claim to be an expert, claims that the only reason the US would join a strike on the Houthis is to “suck us into a war with Iran.” Is this a joke?? The Houthis, an Iranian-backed terror group, have been firing drones and missiles at international ships in the Red Sea for months now. These aren’t just Israeli ships. They’re hitting global commercial vessels - British, American, even random cargo ships with no ties to the conflict in Gaza. Their attacks have made one of the most important shipping routes in the world dangerous. We’re talking about a lane that carries nearly 12% of global maritime trade and 30% of global container traffic. So no, the U.S. isn’t striking the Houthis because we’re itching to start a war with Iran. We’re doing it because failing to respond would make every cargo ship a target. It’s about protecting international shipping, defending American interests, and stopping Iranian proxies from running wild. And here’s what frustrates me: Tucker, for all his talk about being against violence, has somehow become the guy who downplays the actions of groups like the Houthis, while implying that defending ourselves or our allies is some kind of deep state warmongering. Likewise, he’ll make an argument that although he doesn’t want Iran to have nukes, we should be more concerned about fixing our roads and streets at home. Iran having nukes is, in fact, our problem. You know why? Because they want us dead. We can care about two things at once. It’s truly exhausting watching people over twice my age spew nonsense.
