Right-wing American host Tucker Carlson published a lengthy post shortly before the US midterm elections, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of pushing for a U.S. nuclear strike on the Fordow nuclear facility in Iran. The post garnered over 30 million views within eight hours.
The article argues that Carlson's post exploits the audience's ignorance and fear by discussing a "nuclear attack" and a potential World War III. It explains that the Fordow facility is estimated to be buried 80-100 meters deep within a mountain, a depth at which a nuclear bomb offers no advantage over conventional bunker-buster bombs. The author contends that a nuclear weapon's primary advantage in this scenario is its reputation, and there is no logical reason to use one instead of a conventional bomb capable of deep penetration.
The piece concludes that Carlson's use of ignorance, fear-mongering, and propaganda is detrimental to the Republican party's electoral prospects.
