Trump's run up to an Iran war.

[olegramps]

Bolton was hired for one purpose. His major service is to attempt to provoke Iran into a war completing the failed efforts of the
Bush administration. These objective were clearly delineated in the PNAC documents and are a matter of record.

The first step by the Trump administration was to cancel the Iran agreement that Obama and our allies achieved and which successfully halted Iranian's nuclear program. Secondly was the imposing of additional sanctions in the hope that it could cause Iran to miscalculate. This has proven to be less than affective since the signatories have ignored them as non-biding and continue unrestricted trade with Iran.
Thirdly is the coordination with the Israel government that was solidified with the reelection of Netanyahu. The Israelis are determined to destroy Iran and want nothing more than have the United States attack Iran providing them with the opportunity to help coordinate the attack. Hopefully our representatives will expose this and refuse to let this rogue administration to take actions that could quickly escalate into major war throughout the Middle East.

2. He figures

That the voters won't change an administration in the middle of the war he plans to start.

3. I don't think Iran would be like Iraq

It is a much larger country and its military has not been decimated by sanctions.

Also, the Europeans will never go along with an Iran war especially UK. Also, Iran borders Russia and Putin will be very happy to extend a helping hand.

4. I would like to also point out that Fundamentalists, Evangelicals, and several other groups

see a Third World War centered in the middle east as not only inevitable, but DESIRABLE because it will trigger The End Times/Armageddon. They don't care a whit if they make it a self-fulfilling prophecy, and it's not even a secret. Everybody I knew growing up in a fundamentalist, insular, Evangelical society thought this way. It wasn't ever debated, argued, or even discussed. It was simply taken for granted.

7. This is a huge mental (and social) health issue.

5. Also, there's also SHITLER's trademark angle to it: His craving for ratings, popularity, "love"

Starting with his ignorance about politics, he thought that "winning" meant the entire country would immediately be welded together into a big Russo-Chinese parade of love all for him.

Now he's figuring out that war meant ratings and 90% polls for Poppy and somewhere near for Shrub. Light bulb going off: War = ratings & poll numbers.

So, yes, there's the BOLTON side, which SHITLER doesn't care that much about. Then there's *his* side.

6. Iran is also a business partner of China AND Russia

They gain nothing by allowing an illegal war to be waged against their ally.
