Chris Hedges was right when he said that the military industrial complex is sucking the marrow out of this nation and that no meaningful social and economic reforms will ever be able to take root as long the military exists in its current state and funding levels. Almost a trillion dollars a year to the war machine while the American people are choking. We just gave two generation's worth of community college to Ukraine/Raytheon and not only do politicians proudly brag about it but most people have been conditioned to believe that it was the decent thing to do and applaud it. I don't know what is worse: politicians that steal and engage in corruption in plain sight and with impunity or a public that is eagerly subsidizing its own oppression.

I like Tucker Carlson, and any number of his guests are defined as being on the left, like Glen Greenwald, Mate, Jimmy Dore, and others who appear on his show. I don't see these people on Hannity, or Ingram. I don't see them on MSNBC, or CNN or mainstream news channels, expressing left wing ideas that Carlson agrees with, and allows to be heard, so there. He even had Tulsi Gabbard on Fox Nation being honest about why we are in Ukraine. He deserves a lot more credit then what Johnston says here. Sure there are things he says I don't agree with, but defining things solely in black and white terms, which is done here, is not playing fair.
