“The so-called January 6 hearings are nothing more than a `show trial’ to try to distract our attention away from the serious issues that face our country” — including “the very real threat of nuclear war,” former Democratic Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard wrote yesterday in tweeting a clip of her most recent appearance on the June 10 broadcast of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Fox News.

In the interview, she slammed Congress for rushing through the bill authorizing $40 billion for Ukraine. “We are not only in a Cold War with Russia, we are in a HOT war with Russia, with Ukraine as a proxy,” and yet the bill was passed without any serious debate on what the consequences of its passage will be, “or even whether or not we should even be in a war with Russia, or frankly, with any other country.” (https://twitter.com/i/status/1535551801872683008)
Gabbard served in Southwest Asia combat zones twice with the Hawaii National Guard, and holds a rank of Lieutenant Colonel. She is not naive about what war is.
