Tucker Carlson Has 6 Questions For Potential 2024 GOP Candidates On Ukraine: Here’s Who Responded

Fox News host Tucker Carlson delivered six key questions on Ukraine — and the ongoing war with Russia — to a number of GOP candidates who have either declared a bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination or are likely to do so.

Carlson explained in a video tweeted on Monday that he had been largely impressed with the answers — save for name-dropping a couple of candidates who had not answered the questions at all — and that they had not been in line with the narrative most often heard from prominent Republican leaders like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Really? Over an unmanned drone?

Take it easy Ras. I wasn’t advocating for anything. I was commenting on the fact that nothing really surprises me anymore .

U.S. conducting analysis to ensure it has enough munitions stockpile- U.S. general

So they are conducting an analysis NOW which means they aren’t sure they have enough? Thanks

 

[OrangeTsar]

I thought Putin was calm and rational? Your Buddy @Rasputin_Vol even started a thread titled “The fate of the world rests in the sober hands of Putin” or some such. Why would he suddenly be a reactionary dope over an incident like this?

First, Rapsutin Vol and myself don’t exactly see eye to eye on this issue.
Second, Putin was once cool and rational but from the moment he started setting up this stupid war, he has been conducting himself in a most illogical manner. Something has come loose in Vlad‘s brain.

I’m not sure anything changed in his brain. I think he just assumed being thuggish would work again. The difference this time is the west actually stood up to him.

 

[evillawyer]

Ah, so this makes more sense as to why they didn't just shoot it down. Looks like Russia wants to recover the tech.

 

[KB5252]

Again, what you or I think is immaterial in this case. You call Putin up and explain it to him, ok?

Explain what exactly? That his pilot took risky manuevers over international waters and dumped a plane for stupidity?

You're acting like this was some kind of radio control dogfight. It's the equivalent of a powered bicycle being overtaken by a crotch rocket and the rider of the crotch rocket falls off goading the other other guy.

 

[KB5252]

Very interesting and detailed take

I've always really liked his insight. He's explains really well why Russia seems unorganized and hapless with their fighting units.

I never realized Russia was so disjointed and basically operates under territorial fiefdoms. It actually explains a lot

Ehh....they won't be able to get the parts to replicate it anyways.

 

[LouderVol]

It would be to sell to the Chinese. Just like Ukraine getting a t90 or t14.

 

[norrislakevol]

True, but by the time they can copy it we will have advanced beyond that tech. The Chinese have no ability to advance on their own.

Yes. But it would give them that step, instead of them being even further behind.

Reaper over the BS is grounded by a Russian fighter.

Not sure how a Fighter disables a prop on a drone without damaging itself.

Maybe they threw a trench shovel at it. I hear that's the new weapon of choice for Russians.

they have reportedly already Remotely Wiped any Software from the Drone and are considering Recovery Operations.

Laughable unless they wiped on the way to the sea

 

[Velo Vol]

Hands off our drone, Ivan.

They might have had time. I read where this drone can operate at over 40,000 ft. If it was crippled it may have stayed in the air a long time before hitting the water. I'm surprised it didn't have a self destruct mechanism that would blow it into thousands of pieces, unless weight was an issue.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Just catching up on this. Biden have us at Defcon 2 yet?

If the engine ie prop was out then how would the craft have any power to deprogram

 

[Velo Vol]

He's got a point.

 

[volgr]

Literally Hitler.

 

[BeardedVol]

If the engine ie prop was out then how would the craft have any power to deprogram

Why do you think it's necessary for the prop to spin for it to have battery power?

 

[NorthDallas40]

If the engine ie prop was out then how would the craft have any power to deprogram

They have battery backups. Being able to handle an engine failure and still get the aircraft down is a requirement on pretty much all of these high end UAVs

 

[clarksvol00]

I'm no engineer, but I bet various computer systems could be powered by batteries and what not rather than the engines.
