bolton and pompeo are insane warmongers and here mr. cole speaks about bolton and his history;

Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Uber warmongerers John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, somehow the National Security Adviser and Secretary of State of the United States, respectively, have sent an aircraft carrier battle group toward the Gulf in the vicinity of Iran, in hopes of provoking a military confrontation with that country.

Iran does not have so much as a battleship and has no air force to speak of, and so you do not actually need an aircraft carrier to deal with it. Back when Dick Cheney was trying to provoke Iran, late in the Bush administration, he also sent an aircraft carrier to the Gulf, and the snowflake conservatives were crying that Iranian skiffs had menaced it. Skiffs.

Fareed Zakaria did a piece on Bolton on Sunday in which he depicted him as just a very conservative man who sees the world as full of menacing enemies.

This picture of Bolton is a complete misreading. Bolton is a sadistic bully who wants to dominate people. He never got to be more than temporary UN ambassador under George W. Bush because he had mercilessly tortured his office staff. Bolton likes to hurt people who are weaker than he. He is not after Iran because he is afraid of it. He is after it because it is one of the last countries in the world still bucking the US power architecture and which is too weak to resist an all-out assault. He wants to see flies walking on the Iranians’ eyeballs and wants even their dogs to be f–ked..........https://www.juancole.com/2019/05/warmongers-aircraft-confrontation.html
