Good cop/Bad cop?

Bolton playing his “bad cop” role?

The “Libyan model” was working just fine, until the “Arab spring” apostasy, encouraged by the Obama regime, caused the downfall and removal with extreme prejudice of the Libyan dictator.

Not in the action itself, but in subsequent severely punitive follow-up diplomatic moves, did the end to Gaddifi actually come.

Kim Jong Un stands a good chance to both giving up his nuclear ambitions, and retaining power after the fact, so long as no internal coup is mounted against him. Of course, should a coup happen, it may have come whether he gave up nuclear threats or not. But not at the encouragement of the Trump Administration.

More often than not, their agenda is in conflict with us. On this, they might be spot on. Why the heck would Bolton say he wanted to give NK the Libya treatment unless he wanted to undermine the peace process? It does seem very Deep-Statish. And VP Pence? He's real loyal, but he's been less of a President Trump cheerleader lately. Honestly, I don't have a clue where he's at as far as Deep State global warmongering initiatives go. Pompeo does seem to be truly enjoying being part of a peace process.

What's my point? On this situation, CNN might well be spot on. Bolton might be another one of the bad guys reporting to the Deep State. Nothing in his resume refutes that possibility.

Trump is good negotiator. Good cop/bad cop is often used in business as negotiating tactic. For example, your car salesmen supposedly going in back room to argue with boss about the price of your car.

Devout Trumpers who hate any report of conflict within the administration will declare “fake news” and point to the double whammy of CNN citing anonymous sources. Whereas devout hawks who love Bolton and hate the idea of pointless diplomacy with a propaganda-hungry Kim will say, “I sure hope it’s true.”

If talking to Kim isn't pointless, then what is the point?

This additive is why the State Department has spent the last 25 years of diplomacy essentially supporting the North Korean regime to keep it from collapsing under the massive financial burden of developing nuclear weapons and being the worlds prime proliferate of WMDs

The State Department is near the deep end of the swamp, and needs a major draining.

Bolton was referring to dismantling process not assassination.

How does Bolton’s CFR membership play into this?

Don't know who he is because I never read his stuff and see no reason to start based on the adolescent crap suggested by this post's excerpt.

Pure speculation FROM CNN trying to create the distrust, misinformation, speculation and back-biting they NEED (and believe is present) inside Trump’s White House.

The Libyan “model” by the way, is NOT de-nuclearization (which is not really a term anyway), but is “assassination-by-mob”. Which IS the Obama method: Egypt, Libya, Syria (attempted), Iraq .

Replacement of a stable country (though dictatorial) with ever-stronger, ever-more-militant Islam mob rule and ever-stronger mullahs.

I always hated that. And to make sure they were not listening in to my discussions when they went back to “ask their manager” I would always announce I was going to go to “the other dealer” to buy the car if they rejected it.

I had one car salesman who repeatedly kept telling me what my monthly payments would be whenever I asked him for the price.

I finally told him - give me the price right now or I am leaving. He showed me the paperwork and it was 10% more than we agreed to, so I left... as he was still trying to tell me what the monthly payments were.

He could not get it through his head I was paying cash, so I didn’t care what the monthly payments would be.

Rudy Giuliani is Trumps ‘Russia Collusion’ lawyer- why are they asking him anything about Korea, and - more important - WHY IS HE ANSWERING???

Trump should order him to STFU and stay off of the news channels.

Since Trump didn’t fire Bolton and the NK talks are going forward, this discussion is POINTLESS!!!

The Left trying to smear Bolton as they always have, for in international affairs he has never been one of them nor feigned “bi-partisanship” with them.

Bolton has always stood out because he has never been conned by “Liberals” into agreeing with what has actually come from the Left.

By the Left I do not mean the historic traditional Liberals as was maybe last only seen with JFK.

Using Johnson and the war in Vietnam as the “cause” the Left cowed, subverted, conned and overcame the “Liberals” among the Democrats, increasingly from the 1960s. Obama was their ultimate Marxist victory dance, over the Democratic Pary.
