In message to Iran, White House announces new military assets in Middle East

Missy Ryan Washington Post

The Trump administration is sending an aircraft carrier and a bomber task force to the Middle East, the White House said Sunday night, in a show of force aimed at Iran.
“In response to a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings, the United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force,” national security adviser John Bolton said in a statement.

“The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces,” the statement said.

I don't understand why the Secretary of Defense wouldn't make this announcement. John Bolton seems to do it all. "Unrelenting force?" I guess he's been waiting a long time to express such desires to the world.

1. Trump needs a war for the election

2. Or... Just to cancel any further elections...

Like what happened to the Roman Republic.

... the abuse of buying and selling votes crept in and money began to play an important part in determining the elections. Later on, however, this process of corruption spread to the law courts and to the army, and finally, when even the sword became enslaved by the power of gold, the republic was subjected to the rule of the emperors.
