Tucker Carlson Leaves Piers Morgan Speechless with Superior NATO Knowledge [WATCH]

In a widely shared video posted on X, Tucker Carlson and Piers Morgan engaged in a heated debate over NATO’s military intervention in Yugoslavia.

The exchange, which quickly gained traction online, featured Carlson challenging Morgan’s characterization of NATO as a purely defensive alliance.

The debate began when Morgan asserted, “NATO is a defensive organization.”

Carlson immediately pushed back, asking, “How is it defensive?”

Morgan maintained that the alliance had “never acted proactively aggressively,” but Carlson quickly countered by referencing NATO’s 1999 bombing campaign in Yugoslavia.

“Really? Where were you when the Yugoslavia war was going on? And they were bombing the sh*t out of Christians in Yugoslavia. Do you remember that?” Carlson asked.

Morgan conceded that the military action “was pretty offensive,” but attempted to argue that NATO had always operated with a defensive mandate. Carlson continued pressing, asking, “Really? That’s how they created Kosovo? Defensively?”

Morgan insisted that NATO had acted in self-defense, but Carlson was not convinced.

“Who was the aggressor there?” he asked.

Morgan responded by mentioning that his brother-in-law had been present during the conflict, but Carlson dismissed the response as a deflection.

“What you’re saying is insane,” Carlson said, calling on Morgan to acknowledge NATO’s offensive actions.

Morgan then argued that NATO had “never actually acted unilaterally” or attacked a nation without provocation.

Carlson responded by asking, “Who in Yugoslavia attacked NATO?” Morgan did not provide a clear answer.

“This is the point where you just admit defeat,” Carlson said.

“Bow your head and be like, you know what, I bow before superior knowledge. I totally got this wrong. I can’t believe I had such a silly idea.”

The 1999 NATO intervention in Yugoslavia was launched in response to the Kosovo War, a conflict between Serbian forces and ethnic Albanian separatists in the province of Kosovo.

The war stemmed from long-standing ethnic tensions between Serbs and Albanians, with the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), an ethnic Albanian paramilitary group, launching attacks against Serbian security forces.

The Yugoslav government, led by President Slobodan Milošević, responded with a crackdown.

Reports of ethnic cleansing and human rights violations against Kosovo Albanians led NATO to justify military intervention without United Nations approval.

The bombing campaign, which lasted from March 24 to June 10, 1999, targeted Serbian military positions, infrastructure, and government facilities across Yugoslavia, including the capital, Belgrade.

The airstrikes caused significant civilian casualties and widespread destruction, leading critics to argue that NATO’s intervention violated international law and set a precedent for military action without UN authorization.

Ultimately, the campaign forced Milošević to withdraw Serbian forces from Kosovo, leading to the establishment of a UN-administered territory. Kosovo later unilaterally declared independence in 2008.

The debate between Carlson and Morgan reflects the ongoing controversy surrounding NATO’s actions in Yugoslavia.

The intervention remains a significant moment in NATO history, with lasting implications for international military engagements.
