Tucker Carlsonargued PresidentDonald Trump’scall for Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” will require significant military force because historically that has meant troops get to rape the women and children of the conquered nation.

He said the U.S. would “presumably” have to use nuclear weapons to achieve that goal, since the Iranians will likely fight like hell to make sure they are not vulnerable to mass sexual assaults. Carlson made his claim during an interview withBreaking Pointsco-hostSaagar Enjetion Friday.

“Unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter if they want. And everyone knows that,” Carlson said.

He continued, “If there is one consistent lesson of history it means unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter. Everyone can feel that. That’s like the most atavistic instinct there is. And so to avoid that, people will do anything.”

Carlson continued his argument by saying:

So that’s why it requires that level of force, to get a population subdued to the point of unconditional surrender. That’s why. And so in this case, of course we don’t have the ground force necessary — I don’t think Americans would voluntarily participate in it, I just don’t think we can do that. It would require weapons of mass destruction. It would require, presumably, nuclear weapons. And let’s not lie to ourselves, we’re moving toward that.

Enjeti agreed, saying “the natural choice of the American president will be escalation and bombing.” He also said Trump’s push for total capitulation will likely lead to a lot more American troops dying.

“[Unconditional surrender] can only be enforced with an ocean of American blood, and that isnotsomething in our national interest,” Enjeti said. “We are walking every single day closer to that possibility and it is an abomination, if you ask me.”

The two pundits shared their opinions shortly after Trump said there will be no peace deal with Iran until there isan “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER”and the country selects a “GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s).”

“Their army is gone, their navy is gone, their communications are gone, their leaders are gone — two sets of leaders are gone, they’re down to their third set,”Trump said. “Their air force is wiped out entirely… other than that, they’re doing very well.”
