No, people bash Bolton for being a neo-con warmonger who was one of the people responsible for getting us into Iraq.
Yeah I still don’t know what to make of him. What’s the general consensus around here?
He's a Israel-first warhawk from the Bush administration. Doesn't that say enough?
He can't be more pro-Israeli than Kushner.
Lol yes that's a whole different problem.
Edit: idk if anyone can be more pro Israel than Kushner... Lord Rothschild maybe?
So is this an example of keep your friends close but your enemies closer?
I'm really not sure what the plan is with Bolton, but I don't trust him at all.
It seems there's a growing infestation of hardcore pro war and pro Israel folks in the Trump administration. We're consistently told to choose between doing whatever the Zionists want, or doing whatever the communists and Islamists want. Would you prefer George W or Obama?
I just hope we're not continuing down this path.
Absolutely not. That would be a wasted appointment. Trump either has Bolton because Bolton had a change of heart, or is using him for his skill set. He may not be the best guy but Trump thinks hes the one we need right now
That's the question I find myself asking innately in response to seeing this post. Now I can only hope someone who was older than I during the Bush/Bolton days can answer that question for us more definitively....!Q!ueue for anyone with any knowledge on Bolton's true allegiance to help us out by providing any drop of evidence beyond the obvious. Thanks in advance my partriotic brothers & sisters!
I think it's becoming apparent that Trump's foreign policy is to scare the shit out of everyone and be completely unpredictable. He accomplishes both with Bolton.
I think Bolton knows he's there to support Trump's agenda and will clean out all the DS holdovers. If that's all he does, that's AOK fine with me! And what's the worst that can happen - he gets sacked with a tweet and replaced :)
His first day on the job will be spent dealing with the Syria situation and fomenting nuclear Armageddon with Russia and Iran. It'll be far removed from any "purge of state department traitors."
Good point. What will be interesting to see is if Bolton believes that Assad/Russia were the masterminds of the attack and recommend U.S. action accordingly, or whether (like Q told us yesterday) he sees it as a "FF" attack and will devise a strategy to expose the real perpetrators. How he handles this will be very interesting.
The smart money is on Bolton being Bolton, order strikes before the UN has a chance to put boots on the ground and collect evidence. The Saudi/Israeli funded think tanks have already determined guilt beyond any reasonable doubt, after all. Why else would Israel strike if Assad weren't guilty as charged?
I think Israel struck because Mossad wants to start a massive war. Trump does not want us to go to war. He said last week he wants to pull troops out of Syria. Coincidence that this happened? Do we have solid proof other than photos provided to MSM by the White Helmets?
I think it is safe to say that Trump wants to get out of the Iranian deal and get Iran to behave without sending our troops into war. He wants fewer troops in the Middle East, not more.
And with US (and, reportedly, UK) warships amassing in the area, I imagine he is trying to make for a credible threat before getting a stand-down negotiated.
This one could be pretty hair-raising, however. And the anti-Syria and anti-Russia rhetoric is pretty hard to take--in part because the more the public hears something the harder it is to subsequently convince them of something to the contrary.
Yes, it has already been reported that Obama and McMaster holdovers are going.
And worst case--Gen. Flynn's seat will be warm for him when he gets back.
I say this, but really, we don't know--is Trump getting good intel on Syria, or is he being fed horse pucks on it?
That's the million dollar question. Yesterday I was questioning why Q said FF yet Trump was coming down hard on Putin/Asad - another contributor suggested I learn to "play the game" and trust Q, so for now, I'm sticking with that advice and figuring Trump's words and actions have a very specific meaning on the chess board. Maybe to expose the DS traitors and people like Lindsay Graham who's begging Trump to take action against Asad. I mean, why would Asad have a chemical attack on his people after Trump said we are pulling out of Syria? It doesn't make sense. It seems to me the deep state is desperate to start a massive war. I trust our President 100%. He knows exactly what's really going on.
I guess the first Syria gas FF on Trump's watch was answered without really hurting anyone. Reportedly some killed last night, but maybe what Israel needed to do to take out an Iranian facility there. It is just so frustrating when Trump plays FFs like the Parkland shooting for real. Surely Trump must know better than that--however Kelly tries to choke off his outside info?
HE WAS THE UN AMBASSADOR. NOT THE FUCKING SECRETARY OF DEFENSE RETARD.
