You know there is a whole range of military options than just invade or do nothing.
I know. In the U.S. government over the last 25+ years, those are options that are usually only considered as the first step to a decades-long U.S. military presence -- just like we've seen in about half the sh!t-holes in the Middle East, it seems.
This is John Bolton with his mask removed:
John Bolton Pushes to Send Your Kids Off to War in Iran
This guy is a deranged nut. A few interesting points jump out at me with this one ...
1. Bolton was making this speech in mid-2017 when he was not even working in the U.S. government, and yet he's standing up there making statements about what the U.S. was going to do before 2019.
2. Notice that Bolton says nothing about protecting shipping interests, ensuring the free flow of oil through the Persian Gulf, or any "limited military options" at all. His only objective is "regime change" in Iran.
3. He's making this speech before a group of Iranian exiles known as MEK, which translates to the "People's Mojohedin of Iran." The MEK was classified as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government up until 2012.
4. In this speech he claims that he's been making speeches to this group for "eight years," and since this speech was given in 2017 then that means he was speaking to this MEK group while they were still considered a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION by the U.S. government.
There's just one example of the terrorist enablers who have polluted the upper ranks of the U.S. government for years. Do you really think these @ssholes are going to give you a straight answer about anything? LOL.
