It's absolutely real.

What you don't want is a nation that feels no constraints whatsoever, that feels it can do whatever it wants.

It feels it can roll into its neighbor's sovereign territory and expel the population and kill people.

This is exactly, we thought, the lesson of World War II.

That's bad.

But that's kind of what you get when you have a country that feels it has unconstrained power.

It can do whatever it wants.

What does it tend to do?

Well, whatever it wants.

And so you could at least make the case academically, even if you disagreed with the whole idea of nuclear weapons and thought they were probably inherently evil, even if you wondered where they came from in the first place, even if you had dark suspicions about the genesis of nuclear weapons, and some of us do, you could still make the case on a pragmatic basis that look at the effects.

Look at the effects.

They are less bad than this.

So that was Tucker Carlson making the case the Iranian mullahs should actually have nuclear weapons that would somehow be better.

That would somehow be better.

By the way, backing all of this has been, of course, Megyn Kelly, who has never seen a clique that she will not chase.

Notice the contrast between Megyn Kelly on Islam in January of this year versus Megyn Kelly on Islam in, you know, May 2020.

So she was hoodwinked.

She was hoodwinked by those terrible pro-Israel people, Megyn Kelly, between January and May.

Or she's chasing the cliques.

Candace Owens, of course, has been doing the same thing for a while, running interference for radical Islam.
