You really need to consider therapy. The sky is always falling with you. Maybe a few hits on a bong would bring you down! The world is not Black and White. Work on it!

You forgot to mention the fact that it established a Shiite Crescent on Israel’s border.

It’s amusing that Bolton’s stick still sells despite his 100% record of foreign policy failure

“You think we should go to war with Iran? When should we launch it?”

Iran is #2 on my list. First order of business is NK. When Rocket Boy is in the ground, I think the Mullahs in Iran will be taking notice, that they’re next. I feel sorry for President Trump, because every f*cking looser President we’ve had ( including Reagan, sorry to say) since 1950, punted this issue. Now our options are down to only one if Kim doesn’t capitulate voluntarily.

Fortunately, it is quite difficult to make nuclear weapons; otherwise a lot of countries and terrorist groups would have them.

I have no doubt that N.K. has been substantially aided by both Russia and China; and they are still not really there yet.

If Iran does have a few nukes, then time is very short. I listened carefully to Netanyahu when he visited here, and he did not seem to suggest they had already arrived as a nuclear power ... but Obama’s $150B donation could certainly speed them along. No doubt Russia is willing to help for a price.

God of course can do anything; but, He uses us as is so often illustrated in scripture. I believe this is because we are his children and such challenges are necessary in order for us to have the opportunity to grow.

Yes, the Iraq War was a monumental strategic blunder, made all the worse by Hillary/Obama’s idiocy like creating a vacuum for Iran to fill and then the demented “Arab Spring” with horrific effects everywhere they touched.

However, that does not mean the U.S. can or should withdraw from its position as preeminent world power.

The Bush/Clinton/Bush regimes wanted this to be part of the road to global government. But President Trump clearly has a different grand strategy in mind: AMERICA FIRST.

We live in a nasty world, and history shows clearly that the best strategy for a leading and wealthy nation is to maintain its military strength at a very high level.

This implies USING IT, when called for.

The fact that some wars go badly (e.g., Iraq, Vietnam) cannot mean America withdraws from its position at the top of the pecking order. That is EXACTLY WHAT THE LEFTIST TRAITORS WANT TO HAPPEN.

indeed - the swamp has a deep bench

Bolton was rightfully put out to pasture a decade ago.

I think there’s some who simply don’t have a grasp of the world status currently nor the players and the activities they’re undertaking...thus they have only the past to reference in light of how they ‘wish’ world conditions would be rather than the actual realities. It’s not helpful...This is not the time for wishful thinking, nor being uninformed as much as is possible, as you know. Others just aren’t properly informed or don’t want to be.

.....”Bolton was rightfully put out to pasture a decade ago”....

That’s your first mistake,.... just because one is not serving in full view of the audience does not mean they are no longer serving.

Bolton is a serial failure - wrong and then doubling down on stupidity.

He is a loser. A complete second rate loser.
