Bolton: Biden ‘Embarrassment to the United States’ for Asking Israel Not to Retaliate Against Iran
Breitbart ^ | 04/14/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/14/2024 8:13:47 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton claimed Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President Joe Biden is “an embarrassment to the United States” for encouraging Israel not to retaliate against Iran.

Bolton said, “Last night, the Iranians launched 320-plus cruise and ballistic missiles and drones. It’s a blessing that the Israelis find only 1% got through, but not every night is going to be that good. And unless Iran sees a powerful response, that risk will continue. And the way to re-establish deterrence is not proportional. That’s academic talk.”

Its like a hockey fight. Everyone got a punch in. Everyone’s honor is maintained. Ref sends both parties to the penalty box for 5 minutes.

By that logic WWII ended for the United States at the Battle of Midway.

Good thing we had the “Greatest Generation” instead of modern sports fans.

Biden has been an embarrassment to the USA since he was elected to the senate. Bolton only just sees that now?

He’s worried he won’t have enough weapons and $$$ to funnel over to Ukraine and China.

Agree, but it has implications that they can coordinate such theater

Breitbart gives a headline to what Bolton said on CNN.

Note the above sentence.

Three irrelevancies in a single simple sentence.

Also we created, funded, and supplied ISIS. It’s amazing to me, I’ve never seen the slightest look into that fleet of IDENTICAL Toyota Hi-Lux pickups. Where were they shipped from? Who paid for them?
Why did our Air Force not look like the Stukas over Dunkirk when ISIS was having huge convoys in broad daylight on MSRs?

We created them to overthrow Assad and launched a massive civil was. THAT is when Assad invited in large numbers of Iranians to fight them.

In modern times the reason so many Iranian militias are so close to Israel is our creating ISIS.

And for extra fun, Israel has never bombed ISIS, not even once. But they will go after anyone fighting them. We and the Israelis have created a lot of the problems there by trying to engineer the neighborhood.

The Trump approach was smarter with his much better quality Abraham accords. Much better than running around the middle east like idiot Bush and his neocons starting wars left and right.

Personally I think Israel should bomb at minimum their nuclear capacity back to a gravel pit.

Let him go die.

I knew he was a neocon not to be trusted and Trump just can’t seem to read people if they’ve displayed ‘loyalty’ to him.

Sessions it the other big screw up Trump made.

Trump needs someone around him that’s a better judge of character than he is.

Hope his VP pick is done with help.

Only reason we got good SCOTUS picks was he made the deal to go off an approved list for selections.

Everyone is really horny for war now. The news is filled with it. Ukraine! Maybe China! Houthis! Iranians!

While the magicians show us flashy wars, we are NOT talking about the 15 million pouring in across our border, our cities being swamped with filth, crime, insanity, insolvency, and dope. We are NOT talking about the world de-dollarizing. We are not talking about the complete corruption of the US Justice system and the persecution of Trump and the J6 hostages. We are not talking about borrowing another trillion every 100 days, nor the 35 trillion we already owe.
We aren’t talking about pervert shaking their ass in front of school kids. We aren’t talking about sex changes for kids. We aren’t talking about skyrocketing home prices. We aren’t talking about the abject corruption of the FBI.
And we sure aren’t talking about Biden feeling up Ashley in the shower.

No, the important thing is war! It’s a great distraction and funnels a firehose of money at the 1%.

The SCOTUS picks were by the Federalist Society. Trump cannot tell a good SCOTUS justice from a porn star. He just rubber stamped what he was given. We have to depend on the few remaining stellar conservative institutions like the FS to make picks.

It's extraordinarily difficult to "bomb Iran's nuclear program" back to the Stone Age

Iran is a HUGE country and with many sites spread out all over the country.

And it's pretty much at max range even for F-15I's.

So you're talking sub strikes from the Persian Gulf to hit even a few sites with a few more sites bombed.

No, the Scotus picks have sucked. They have been barely adequate.
And McConnell had first say in ALL of his appointments.

Right out of the chute, Flynn was falsely accused by the DOJ and Pence. McConnell refused to go into recess for the entire Trump presidency to prevent recess appointments. So trump could only appoint people on the approved McConnell list. Then street terror and very well organized blacklists and boycotts appeared to destroy the lives and businesses of anyone even slightly serving the Trump administration. It was the death of your company and career to work there.
They were getting menaced or ejected from restaurants. Even their family members were losing jobs.

It’s very disingenuous to claim Trump is incapable of appointing decent people. An unprecedented combination of lawfare and terrorism and GOP roadblocks shrunk his pool to nothing.

Pence immediately threw Flynn under the bus IMMEDIATELY no questions asked, say what you want about Bannon BUT he was a GREAT gatekeeper YET they managed to get rid of him also and replace him with Kelly HUGE MISTAKE!! This time when Trump goes into office he will be going in with an army of MAGA hiring has been taking place over the last 3 years the utter BS of the deep state will be neutered!! You can rest assured the bastards will try to assassinate him!!
