John Bolton

Never got why Trump put the swampiest scumbag in Washington back in the game.

I just hope he's using him as a threat yet ignores everything he says. I believe he's called for nuclear first strikes.

Bolton has never seen a war he didn't want your kids to die in.
had a buddy try to make the argument that neo-conservatives are so 2010 (when PNAC was dissolved) but I ain't buying it.

Bolton is a true believer.
now we have abrams and Pompeo back as well.

Tucker Carlson had a good interview with Bolton just before he became NSA. Really nailed him, I'm surprised he hasn't had Tucker killed.

Trump better watch himself with Bolton. Like you said, not even viagra can get him as hard as thinking about dead orphans. He's already tried to oppose Trump out of pulling out of Syria.

trump is good at manipulating the media,he is pretty impressive in that regard.
but when it comes to foreign policy and knowing whats going on?
he is very vulnerable.

right now I am paying considerable attention to Venezuela and iran.

this could all go sideways...fast.

I think Trump is getting garbage info from those around him. But I think he trusts his instincts. Yes, anything can happen, look at the three fake 'gas attacks' in Syria. Bolton is pushing for was in Iran, i haven't been paying to much attention to Venezuela tho. Do you think Trump will deploy forces?

Elliot abrams is in charge.so...it is gonna get ugly.
remember Nicaragua and the contras?

McClatchy reported last week that Venezuelan police found an American plane with weapons and ammo.came from the Carolinas,and it had already taken 40 round trips.no flights since it was reported,but this is abrams M.O.

we have also slapped even MORE sanctions on top of the existing on the Maduro government.so we are squeezing them hard,and the Venezuelan military is mobilizing.(what good it will do them)

this far,the military is still supporting Maduro.
but if you only watch American media you would think there are protests in the streets against Maduro,when the truth it is about equal for both Maduro and guaido.

as for iran.
that has been in the PNAC playbook since the late 90's.
way too much to get in to here on a comment thread,but check the youtube video with general Wesley clark on when he was told about Iraq.
he was told in 2002,right before the Iraq war that not only were we going into Iraq,but Syria,libya,somolia and.../drum roll...iran.

my friend has a youtube channel called the capsian report.
go check him out.
he reports almost exclusively about the middle east and central asia.

Awesome, thank you for the links!

and yeah,speaking of tucker Carlson.

that boy used to be an utter tool,and now I find myself agreeing with him and respecting his skills.

my politics is still different from his,but respect earned is respect given.

I haven't seen a better MSM host lately. He actually listens to his guests tho he does deal in low hanging fruit alot. I went back to his debate with Jon Stewart and Tucker comes off better than I remember but that's hindsight too.

I haven't watched cable news in decades.
I watch clips,but not the entire shows.
then I compare what they are reporting,what they are not reporting and then how they report it.

and it is.....bad.
