I’m not really sure that Bolton’s true motives or allegiances are really known at the moment. When Bolton first came on board, Q implied that he was there to clean house. Bolton is mentioned in three Q posts - 993, 1123, and 1603. The first two deal with Bolton being tasked to clean house. The last one talks about him meeting with Putin and how that represents the failure of the cabal to stoke conflict between U.S. and Russia.
It’s at least conceivable that this latest rift between Bolton and Trump is disinfo - a staged squabble in the same vein as Trump’s public quarrel with Sessions. To what end it might serve, I don’t claim to know, but there’s a lot about the plan that is still hidden from me.
It’s true that Bolton has been hawkish in the past, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a neo-con. There are those who, although too quick to seize upon the military option, are motivated by patriotism and a desire to protect American interests. Then there are those who want to entangle us in foreign wars where the national interest is tenuous at best.
Neo-cons refers to interventionists who use ‘spreading democracy’ as their rationale and claim that in the long run doing so serves the national interest. In reality most of them are likely globalists who use the ‘spreading democracy’ rationale as a cover. Bolton has been an interventionist in the past, but he’s also been very critical of the U.N. in the past - which is a very anti-globalist position to have.
I agree with your comments.
Thank you for your reply. It provides much food for thought.
I am finding my own views morphing lately ... starting to see all U.S. wars since Vietnam as progressivist wars attempting to spread a certain “Liberal” philosophy via military power—a sort of foreign-policy version of “Social justice” or “affirmative action”.
President Trump has been ripping the masks off hidden enemies of the United States at a phenomenal pace. The thinly disguised Marxism of the RATs and the extreme dishonesty of the media are now out in the open. In a sense, Bernie, AOC, Venezuela, Schitt, Epstein and Don Lemon have all played constructive roles in the Great Awakening. Oh yes, and HRC too, that brazen transnational criminal and traitor who is finally becoming anathema in her own party.
In a sense, one of the comfortable disguises most difficult to shed has been the neocon/Bush pretensions of being compatible with traditional American values and conservatism. THEY ARE NOT. We certainly did NOT see any spurious wars started under Reagan. Eisenhower ended Korea ASAP and kept us out of Vietnam.
So here’s my point: In Bolton, ANOTHER MASK HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF ... and that is the mask that pretends any form of progressive, including neocons, could in any way be our our side.
I understand you are tapping the brakes on calling Bolton an out-and-out neocon, especially in light of some things Q has said ... but at this point it seems awfully clear to me he is a black hat, and I think I know what type.
Maybe Bolton’s role in “Cleaning house” is akin to that of Venezuela ... exposing the truth to the light of day.
