Legitimate national interests of a strategic variety.

Please explain them to us.

A nation of draft-dodging leaders sending someone else's kids to fight wars in sh!t-holes all over the world has no moral credibility anymore.

I'll repeat the same thing I posted when John Bolton's name first came up as a possible nominee for the NSA post:

I voted for Donald Trump because I was tired of Ivy League globalist pr!cks running this nation's foreign policy. Anyone who still thinks the invasion of Iraq was a good idea shouldn't even be allowed to clean the toilets in the White House.

“Please explain them to us. “

1. They have killed 700 US service members in Iraq, a war in which they were not a principal.
2. They bombed the US Embassy in Beruit, killing over 200 Marines.
3. They captured over a dozen US sailors in international waters and kept them over a week.
4. They invaded US Territory in Tehran (Embassy) and kept dozens of US Citizens hostage for 444 days.
5. They have threatened, and practiced, to close the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping, through which 40% of the worlds oil passes. Upon closure the hit to economies in which the US Economy is inter-reliant would be enormous. Even Jimmy Carter, the peacenik would have gone to war over that (Carter Doctrine).
6. They have sworn to destroy the US and is in the process of developing nukes and missiles toward that end.

To name but 6.

And all with impunity.

“I voted for Donald Trump because I was tired of Ivy League globalist pr!cks running this nation’s foreign policy. Anyone who still thinks the invasion of Iraq was a good idea shouldn’t even be allowed to clean the toilets in the White House.”

Generally, and in most cases, I agree with you. However, in the case of Iran and Norklandia I make an exception.
