John Bolton issued a statement on Sunday announcing the deployment of
the USS Abraham Lincoln’s Carrier Strike Group to the Middle East,
saying it was a “clear and unmistakable message” to Iran.
Which is to say that Bolton intends the deployment to be perceived as a
threat, saying any Iranian threats against US interests, or the
interests of US allies “will be met with unrelenting force.”
The US Navy offered a very different take on the matter, saying that the
deployment was simply “a regularly scheduled deployment,” as opposed to
some sudden dispatch of US forces to threaten to attack Iran.
Bolton, of course, does not need an excuse to threaten to attack Iran,
or anybody else across the world. The timing is a bit awkward, as it
comes amid US threats to also attack Venezuela, another threatened war
that Bolton is taking the lead in pushing.
Time for frigging Bolt-on to blow.. As seems ever so.. The guy is all sticks & no carots for his bull in your China shop dipshiplomacy… One can only wonder how effective it will be making jingoist threats to half the world.. This guy could get 20 or 30 million Americans dead. In a couple of hours if stupidly left on his own to manage the chaos.. He is like the witch doctor of some backwater ship hole trying to scare the spirits of the night away. He has cum a long way from Platos Retreat but has gotten cruder and less reality oriented.. He needs rest and a good piece of ash…. before he hurts us or himself…
This just must be more of Trump giving Bolton enough rope to hang himself. And when the stool is finally kicked from under that scraggly piece of $hit, there will be peace on earth. Just ask Raimondo.
Given this Congress, nothing is going to happen in Swampland to prevent Corporal BoneSpurs and His Band of ChickenHawks from doing just about anything they might want to do. Either in the Persian Gulf, Venezuela, or anyplace else that serves the purpose and intent. It was 55 years ago this coming August 4 that the so-called “Tonkin Gulf Incident occurred.” When something like that happens again, this Congress will do as much as that Congress: Nothing.
It’s strange how most of the hard-core war hawks like Bolton were once the hard-core draft dodgers. They didn’t want those wars, and if they had to lead their forces into battle like the leaders of old used to they wouldn’t want these wars either. Their own actions prove them to be cowardly mass-murderers.
Those who run from the flag the fastest tend to be the ones who wrap themselves in it the tightest.
There is a big difference between a draft Dodger, and a draft resistor. The chicken hawks are the dodgers.
Someone needs to sew that assh*le’s mouth shut.
I’m just glad to be on the Trump peace train, for one. Threatening Iran and Venezuela, vetoing resolutions to end our involvement in Yemen, tearing up nuclear agreements with Iran and Russia, deploying the US Army domestically. When will all the PEACE end??
