“But if war isn’t what’s guiding Mr. Bolton, what is? At bottom it’s the conviction that diplomacy and multilateral organizations are fine—as long as they serve American interests. In the Bolton version, America First means the U.S. Constitution takes precedence over the U.N. Charter.”
Some have to have an enemy to prosecute for the past’s lost wars and Trump’s “bad cop” fits the bill. Without a bad cop in your arsenal, you’re Obama.
What a concept, huh? Reminds me of the George Schulz anecdote:
And he’d say, “OK, Mr. Ambassador or Madame Ambassador, you’ve passed all the tests. You’ve been confirmed by the Senate and you’ve passed your security investigation. You’ve done all the things to get the position of ambassador, but you have to pass my test. I have one more for you.” And he’d take them over in the Secretary’s office to where there was this massive globe, and he’d say, “I’m going to spin the globe and I want you to put your hand on your country.”
Shultz would tell this story, and he said, “Every single one of them failed. But I let them go anyway.” Because whenever he spun the globe and he’d say, “I want you to put your hand on your country,” they’d always put their hand on the country that they were going out to. His point was your country is the United States.]
“...America First means the U.S. Constitution takes precedence over the U.N. Charter....”
Can you imagine what our country would look like if it was run by the U.N. Charter??? God forbid.
I hate him. He is a bastard.
