The US Justice Department announced criminal charges Wednesday against a member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for allegedly trying to orchestrate the assassination of John Bolton, who served in senior national security positions during the Trump and Bush administrations.

Like I am going to believe anything the deep state says about a deep stater. See, no credibility leads to no belief. This is the beginning of the end. Zero credibility, zero competence, zero moral authority.

Wrong target stupid.

The Persians never were very smart. A friend with one of the old Seven Sisters would say, “After having spent some time in Persia I am convinced they are all possessing of a gene that predisposes them to madness.”

How awful. Doesn’t this Iranian understand that the walrus is an endangered species?

“The alleged plot was “likely in retaliation” for the January 2020 US air strike that killed Qasem Soleimani,..”

After the air strike it was hard to tell who was more upset, the Iranians or U.S. Democrats. Both were calling Trump a murderer. Both were upset Trump had authorized the killing of an Islamic radical who had killed Americans on multiple occasions.

CNN will fall for anything.
Zero reason and Bolton is going to die in 5 years anyway.

I’d be good to load Bolton up with all sorts of other crud terrorist countries want to retaliate over.

For instance, didn’t Bolton cause Trump to put tariffs on Chinese goods?

Start sharing that…

As punishment, the DeadBrain Joe regime takes action, by sending a jet load of billions of dollars for the pedophile rag heads in Terran.

You're kidding, right?

They would have "let him slide," then given him an AK, a thousand rounds, and a couple bombs -- and ones that would work better than the DNC/RNC Jan 6 bombs.

As with the population of Turkey, I'm guessing that most modern Persians are of Greek descent. Either way, they're definitely of the same Indo-European descent.

And, as with Turkish Greeks, what "predisposes them to madness" is the lie that is Islam.

It's gotten to a point where I find it hard to believe anything the gov. says, and certainly not CNN.

Could it?

No they wouldn't. They would make him a national hero.
