This would be a career-ending turn of events for Bolton. It would mean the odds of a U.S. military campaign against Iran are extremely low ... which defeats the whole purpose of him even getting out of bed in the morning.
Bolton is all stick and no carrot.
Any theories?
~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah, it’s all BS.
I guarantee, Trump does not want a meeting with the Iranians. He just wants to dangle the carrot to see what pops up. President Trump considers lots of actions without following through. I imagine him holding a daisy, plucking off a petal at a time, and saying, “I’ll do this, I’ll do this not.” When he decides on an action he has considered many factors.
It's worse than that. Bolton doesn't even know what a carrot looks like.
If he can walk across the DMZ into North Korea, he's willing to meet with anyone ... and I'm sure he sees a very strong political benefit to having tensions eased even slightly in the Middle East before the 2020 election.
Trump: You can a little uranium......
Geez, just kill the leaders now or they will murder millions with nuclear weapons.
So? Trump considers all options.
Bolton’s job was to make the “Hawkish” case.
Trump easing sanctions?? I don’t believe it.
Who is leaking or making up this stuff for the press?
That person needs to be found and fired immediately.
I think that Trump knows that the Iranians are going to collapse under the weight of their own dictatorship pretty soon. The young woman setting fire to herself yesterday because she was kicked out of watching a soccer game because she was a woman… Well, it sounds trivial and definitely like an overreaction, but it indicates how unhappy Iranians are with the Islamic regime’s repression and near suppression of their daily lives.
Im against elevating these terrorists to the level of humans.
I find it amazing that FIFA doesn't sanction Iran because of this. Imagine if a non-Islamic country banned women from going to soccer games.
You can have a little uranium......
RE: Im against elevating these terrorists to the level of humans.
Well, if this report is accurate, then Bolton was right.
IF, BIG IF, this report is true, it represents a major cave by POTUS.
Iran has been insisting on no talks, whatsoever, as long as the sanctions remain.
Besides, POTUS doesn’t need a deal with Iran, for any reason.
There is just no reason to believe this is true.
Trump is trying to get talks restarted because he sees a nuclear state, with the ICBMs to project them far into Europe, on the horizon.
If talks don’t resolve these problems, the United States will have to defang Iran. It will take a military campaign.
The thought of Iran with operational nukes is a real nightmare.
Bolton may be of the mind that we need to defang Iran now before it is too late, and they do have operations nukes.
Time till tell if he was right or not.
(It should be noted, I’m putting words into Bolton’s mouth here,... at these may not be his true thoughts)
Trump blasts 'Mr. Tough Guy' Bolton
As it turns out, the U.S. has apparently been winning battles in this stupid "War on Terror" by simply declaring that some terrorists aren't terrorists anymore.
And, yes -- that link has a reference to a clip of JOHN BOLTON addressing the "People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran" in 2017.
Delightful.
