Doubling down on President Trump’s late-night Twitter rant threat to make Iran “suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before,” National Security Adviser John Bolton says President Trump had spoken to him in recent days about his intention to take action.
Bolton says Trump told him that the next time “Iran does anything at all to the negative, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid before.” Bolton has been advocating US wars against Iran for many years.
And while neither Trump nor Bolton explicitly said that what was going to happen to Iran was a US military attack, that was clearly meant to be the implication. Bolton in particular would almost certainly not seem so satisfied with the plan if this was something short of war.
Many analysts are comparing President Trump’s recent comments against Iran to last year’s threats against North Korea, which preceded a diplomatic deal. Whether this is an attempt to replicate that in Iran, or just a threat for its own sake remains to be seen.
Oh the satire and bluster of the fake empire! All of this Iran hubris, and sanctions will be met with a defiant middle finger from the countries that really count on the world stage. Pompeo, Trump, and Bolton are such lightweights that the Iranians must be chuckling.

I’d have to swallow my pride and publicly thank him if he followed through on that !
I’m with you on that.
Typical school yard bully behavior by yet another cowardly frat boy.
” I totally
would’ve gone to fight the war I publicly advocated, but it was going to
be lost anyway, and I didn’t want to die, like the 9,500-plus Americans who went in my stead and died between 1970 and the fall of Saigon. Now buy my book, Surrender Is Not An Option, which explains why we need war with Iran and North Korea.” https://taskandpurpose.com/john-bolton-trumps-new-war-consigliere-dodged-already-lost-vietnam-war/
“Bolton is also involved with a number of politically conservative think tanks, policy institutes and special interest groups, including the Institute of East-West Dynamics, the National Rifle Association, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, Project for the New American Century, Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), Committee for Peace and Security in the Gulf, the Council for National Policy, and the Gatestone Institute” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Bolton
The revolving door between the public and private swamps in DC keep vomiting up cowardly pathological liars with long histories of sociopathic behavior and evidently motivated by all out greed.
“Carl Ford, an intelligence official and assistant secretary of state,
as well as a self-described conservative Republican, testified that
Bolton bullied an intelligence analyst over evidence about Cuba’s
suspected weapons programs, prompting an intervention from Powell.
Bolton is a “kiss-up, kick-down sort of guy” who “abuses his authority
with little people,” Ford said at the time.” https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/03/john-bolton/556346/
A real class act if you examine his actions.
Wouldn’t that be a meddling impeachable offense?
And who gonna impeach ’em 🙂
Here’s where you see ALL of the major newspapers and media scurrying about with glee at the prospect of another regime change operation.
North Korea is the template.

Stop peeing your pants.
Tyrants only understand ONE thing, POWER!
The USG spends nearly a decade negotiating UNSC 2231
Trump gets “elected” by Sheldon Adelson & Co.
Trump violates UNSC 2231
Trump repeatedly threatens war
The Military reminds Trump of the Millennium Challenge…
Trump keeps calling Rouhani’s office, begging for a meeting.
Rouhani, hands tied, can only route the idiot to voicemail…
This is what happens when you let the Israelis run shit.
Bolton and Nimrata (Nikki H) were on Cspan-3 last evening speaking before Christians United for Israel.
I have no sympathy for the government of Iran. It is a theocracy. Even though there are elections in Iran it appears that most people of Iran do not like their own government and there have been significant protests in the recent past. I hope that the people of Iran get a secular government of their liking soon. By their own efforts.
There are numerous odious governments in the world. Why does our government want to be deeply involved in the change of governance aka regime change of Iran? Oil?
The results of the numerous interventions of our various governments to overthrow the existing governments of other nations to get the governments they like(d) and often falsely assume(d) are also liked by the people of those nations tells me that an overthrow of the Iranian government by Trump/Bolton will create havoc in Iran. Here are a few of the most notorious failures Iran I (Shah!), Iraq ( multiple murders every day), Libya (civil war), Afghanistan (civil war). Together with others: Syria (civil war), Yemen (civil war), Somalia (civil war). And that leaves out the disastrous meddling in the affairs of counties in our own hemisphere.
For Iran II to be stable under a new foreign implanted governance that governance must be dictatorial. The two post WW2 regime changes in Iran have produced a dictatorship. Why would it be different now?
If you support the Trump/Bolton attempt to overthrow the Iranian regime, show me one successful attempt of a US regime change. Grenada? OK Grenada. Iran is not Grenada.
Nope, it’s not a theocracy. Big deal even it were since we’re a Judeo-Christian theocracy.
Judeo-Masonic is more like it.
I stand corrected 🙂
You forgot to mention England and Brexit Civil war . deep state and Trump civil war even Italy and some eastern European countries .would like a civil war rather than go along with the NWO .
What business it is of ours that you, or we, do not like Iran’s government? As for theocratic, how much Western criticism has there been of the latest change in Israel, a theocracy (though godless!!) if there ever was one.
Western criticism? Has it even been reported over the MSM? I’m actually asking since I never watch or listen to the MSM.
Bolton sure is quick to advise war when he’s got no skin in the game.
I can’t decide, which is worse for the greater number of people, a theocracy or an oligarchy? or would it be better to just get rid of both of them, somehow.
certainly if it’s the oligarchy which is always threatening war with the theocracy, then the oligarchy has to go first
“suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before….”
certainly that could only mean or imply either a devastating conventional attack taking out all civilian and military infrastructure, or else a nuclear war. whatever it is, even to threaten this is a war crime against humanity.
