Former national security adviser John Bolton called for “disproportionate” strikes inside Iran after a drone attack killed three U.S. service members in Jordan over the weekend.
Bolton said Sunday night on NewsNation that the U.S. needs to carry out retaliatory attacks in the wake of the deadly drone strike. He said the U.S. needs to “impose enough pain on Iran” to ensure it does not attempt a similar attack on the U.S. again.
“To be clear, I don’t think it should be proportionate. I think it should be disproportionate. That’s how you create deterrence in the mind of your adversary, that the cost to them of attacking our forces is so high they won’t do it again,” he said.

For once Bolton is correct, unlike those cowering under fear of the Iranians and their proxies. They have already murdered enough Americans to warrant regime change now.

There are likely Iranian personnel helping out in Yemen.
Some large bombs will send them off to their 72 virgins.

When I agree with Bolton, it makes me re-examine my position.

Boom goes London
And boom Paris
More room for you
And more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it’ll be
We’ll set everybody free
You’ll have Japanese kimonos, baby
There’ll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let’s drop the big one now
Let’s drop the big one now

That drone strike points out a weakness badly in need of fixing.
To: ChicagoConservative27
It may be true he is a war monger, but from personal experience, the only thing that will change the attitude of the islamic terrorist or islamic ruling class is raw death and pain. The Israelis know this. Arabs and islamics do not think rationally like westerners. It is to westerner detriment that we try to apply our rational thought to understand the mind of stone cold killers.
Do I want to see a war now? No, especially not under this admins leadership. They most certainly will eff it up. But make no mistake, proportional response will not dissuade the Iranians.

He needs to join Hillary Clinton and Liz Cheney and start his own news group. I personally don’t give a whim what Bolton says. His time has come and has gone.

You grab a rifle and some grenades and unleash some disproportionally, REMF.

That was not the experience with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan but Americans were more patriotic then and the political and military leadership especially.
