President Zelensky reacts to Maduro’s capture, suggesting Putin should be next:
If it is possible to deal with dictators like that, just like that, then the United States of America knows what to do next.
Everything is not about you Mr. President. Especially not a tragedy when two people were senselessly murdered and a member of their own family is alleged to have killed them. Despite their unimaginable pain, you have to use it as an opportunity to put your grievances about their politcal views at the center of this awful event. Completely shocking and not the least bit surprising at the very same time.
Tucker Carlson claims: “In 1941, Roosevelt allowed Pearl Harbor to happen to get America into the war.” He proceeds to get some of the most basic historical facts wrong.
Carlson insists it is “proven” that Roosevelt had full knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack and allowed it to happen, saying “he did that in order to get us into a war the people didn’t want. It was anti-democratic.”
He even asserts to @ComicDaveSmith:
“The Senate had an inquiry into Pearl Harbor during the war. And it kinda concluded that yeah, we sorta knew, and then it was buried because there was a war on. What was that?”
Except none of that is true.
The Senate’s Pearl Harbor inquiry did not happen during the war - it began in late 1945, after Japan had surrendered. And the Committee’s findings explicitly stated:
“The ultimate responsibility for the attack and its results rests upon Japan.”
It also conclusively rejected the claim that President Roosevelt or senior U.S. officials “tricked, provoked, incited, cajoled, or coerced Japan” into attacking the United States.
While it’s true Roosevelt wanted America to eventually join the fight against the Axis powers - and U.S. intelligence had picked up general indicators that Japan might strike somewhere in the Pacific - there is zero credible evidence that the U.S. had specific knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack, let alone that Roosevelt allowed it to happen as a pretext for war.
Carlson also continues promoting the idea that America should never have entered WWII, while ignoring a key fact: Germany and Italy declared war on the United States four days after Pearl Harbor, forcing a wider conflict regardless of U.S. preferences.
Seeing Tucker Carlson push such a demoralising conspiracy theory while consistently misstating basic, easily verifiable facts about the event and the investigations afterward is remarkable. It makes clear he��s driven far more by an ideological narrative than by accuracy or evidence.
