“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.

"They have already murdered enough Americans to warrant regime change now."

Yeah, that's like picking another ride on the islamoterrorist merry-go-round. You'll still go in a circle.

Am I the only one who finds it preposterous that the same Beltway @ssholes clamoring for regime change in Iran were hell-bent on carrying out their own regime change here in the U.S. from 2017 to 2020?

What, in your imagination, would be required to change the Iranian regime?

“proportionate”

I don’t know Bolton’s religion or if he has one. But he uses the word “proportionate” twice because he’s a bit angry that Catholic just war theory which has some influence and which says uses of defense must be “proportionate” has gotten in his way at times. Personally, I can’t stand him. I think he’s a backstabbing chickenhawk like Lindsey Graham. Let the neocons and their children lead the first wave into battle.
