John Bolton and war is synonymous.

Buchanan is right as usual.
At the same time I don’t think we want to respect the Persian Gulf as a “no go zone”.

In order to avoid war you must look and sound like you are itching for a conflict. Tsun Sui, or Linconln...possibly a Rolling Stones song...

Trump needs to fire the warmonger Bolton. His interventionist values are at odds with this administration.

But what if, with just a little push, we could topple the mullahs? Most Iranians would be ecstatic to see them
Go.

Yes. Next question?

I voted for Donald Trump because I wanted a wall, America-first trade policy, and an end to stupid wars that are fought only for the benefit of Wall Street and foreign interests.

If we get to November 2020 and I don't see even a single one of those things, I'll seriously consider staying home.

I voted for Donald Trump, not George W. Trump. Filling the ranks of his cabinet and senior advisors with a bunch of assholes who would have been perfectly suited for a Jeb Bush administration doesn't help him at all.

Bolton and the rest of the military industrial complex have one hammer, called war.

Perhaps it is time for Europe to manage the persian gulf

and for us to stop acting like agents of the Sauds.

The Iranians must not be paying attention. All they need to do is send their troops up through Mexico and they can just walk in and be transported across the United States at taxpayer expense. I am sure, though, that they are already doing it, and have been, for some time.

John Bolton tutored Vladimir Putin on the meaning of the Monroe Doctrine: "This is our hemisphere. It's not where the Russians ought to be interfering."

Only a Democrat or a globalist "neo-con" could possibly say this shit with a straight face.

Well, it’s quite clear that the war party wants a war, any war will do.

Has Bolton ( or this author) ever read the Monroe Doctrine. It says WE stay out of Europe’s business. Ask the Ukrainians if we meddle in their affairs? Or anyone else in Europe.

I don’t think anyone steers Trump, but Trump himself. All options must be put on the table.

That’s right, stay home. This country will be much better with the Democrats in control of the White House and our foreign policy.

I hope not. Israel and Saudi Arabia can deal with Iran if they want, but it's not our war. We have domestic and foreign enemies that pose a much bigger threat to our nation that we need to be focusing on.

TRUMP 2020! MAGA!!!

You’re obviously a never-Trumper if you don’t realize that all three of those things have already been implemented.
