I think Beagles thinks we are at war with every country that acts badly towards us and that he personally doesn't like, but he is mistaken. We have the war on terrorism which is just George Orwell's forever war with a slightly more reasonable sounding name. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter and militias are put on and taken off that list according to our purposes. Speaking of the war on terrorism it is largely the work of the guy we just killed that dealt ISIS a near fatal blow while the Iraqi Sunnis were running from battles and leaving their weapons behind. Well also the Kurds, who we recently gave the back of our hands because Trump admires the Turkish dictator Erdogan, but then they are used to that.
During the Obama administration things had gotten pretty good. They had stopped their nuclear program and were allowing inspections, It wasn't like we were pals, they were only doing it so that we would lift the sanctions we put against them, and they were continuing their covert actions against our guys who were doing covert actions against them, but things were pretty calm and perhaps other agreements could be made. Then Trump came ion and tore that up and has been beating up on them ever since.
The Taliban, Al Qaeda, and ISIS are all Sunnis and are all sworn enemies of Iran. How do you not know this? Even in your little dribble of news feed this has to have come through. Talking to you about the mideast is like talking to a sixth grader who doesn't always read his Weekly Reader.
The muslims of the mideast would like nothing better then for us to take the Israelis out of the mideast. The Israelis would like nothing less. Do the words Promised Land mean anything to a biblical scholar such as yourself? And I thought you were against immigrants, although it has long been clear that what you are really against is Mexicans because they are not as white as you.
The idea that there are no good guys outside of Israel in the mideast is ludicrous. I can't go on.
What to make of John Bolton's willingness to testify if the senate subpoenas him? Why now? He does have a book coming out and that is sure to spike sales, but I wonder if it's the current cloud of war. There is nothing Bolton would like better than bombing Iran, so is this some kind of trap for the dems where he will say he heard nothing on that phone call and that will give Trump a PR boost that could encourage him to bomb harder? Not likely I think because before Bolton spoke up things were going swimmingly for Trump and his party, and this has thrown a bit of a wrench into that. Hats off to Nancy her strategy is working beyond even her expectations. Also Bolton knows well now, if he didn't know before, how stupid and feckless Trump is, hardly the man to lead us into war.
I never liked Bolton and still don't, but I have to admit that he is man of principle. Could he be doing the right thing by telling the truth at this point? Doesn't seem likely, but time will tell.
