Donald Trump stood down and he was right
to do so and we should say that that
those who wished like Pompeo like Bolton
and others no doubt who wished for a
general war in the Gulf have been
stymied by Trump's refusal to allow it
and it turns out that what changed his
mind was tuning into Fox News and Tucker
Carlson now Color Me naive I never
imagined when I first became aware of
mr. Tucker Carlson that the world would
come to sit in the palm of his hands he
stopped the attack last June that Donald
Trump had already sent into the air in
response to the shooting down of an
American drone he stopped it in a
conversation with Donald Trump who
recalled the aircraft and now President
Trump says he is listening again to
Tucker Carlson and Fox News which has
persuaded him to try a different
approach now the US defense secretary
said this evening that they are ready
for talks without precondition with Iran
well I think that's the best news of
2020 so far
