as a non gringo whomst bolton and why is he gonna shit the carpet worse than his predecessors?

The only silver lining to Bolton's pick is:
>Bolton contradicts Trump on the majority of his Foreign policy (Trump

also

Neocon, helped push for Iraq War, in favor of regime change in Iran, North Korea and has declared Syria a destablizing factor in the Middle East against American Interests. Was a member of various neocon thinktanks, US ambassador to the UN under George W. Bush, super pro-Israel

Problem 1.

He didn't think the Bush Administration went hard enough on the Iraq/Afghanistan War, he has not changed this attitude

Problem 2

Every year he literally says "Start a war" to solve a problem. It doesn't matter the diplomatic conditions, or in the case of Nuclear Weapons, his literally only solution to any given problem at any given time is always, and has always been "Fuck it, drop the bombs".

After the Bush Administration, thankfully he lost pretty much all of his power and nobody thought they would ever hear of "Bolton" and "White House access" ever again. It was a dream, a nightmare, something that could never happen again. The world is safer now that John Bolton is relegated to life without having direct access to a naive president every day.

Except that dream is over now, and the nightmare is awake

John Bolton says

John Bolton says

John Bolton says:
On bombing Iran

John Bolton fucking says
“Pre-emption opponents argue that action is not justified because Pyongyang does not constitute an ‘imminent threat.’ They are wrong. The threat is imminent, and the case against pre-emption rests on the misinterpretation of a standard that derives from prenuclear, pre-ballistic-missile times,” Bolton wrote last month in a Wall Street Journal column headlined, “The Legal Case for Striking North Korea First.”

John Bolton is everything you ever dreamed of happening in a nightmare situation that you brush off as, "It only happens in the movies" or, "people will be too reasonable for that right?" That's John Bolton.

Trump can't afford to just check out and let his cabinet run things like Bush did, he has too much of an ego to just be a figurehead, hence all the firings. Things are bad yes, but not as bad as they could be.

He got rid of the other guy because "He wasn't being tough enough", you're going to have to rethink your optimism there bud.

Even at his bare minimum, this is a truly fucking smelly idea though. Bolton at minimum is still Bolton.

Got rid of McMaster because he was a dissident. Bolton will prove to be even more of a pain in Trump's neck. I expect him to be out by the end of the year, assuming we don't all die before then

I hope you're right, but my gut is telling me Trump just wants a war with Iran, or at least making Syria FUBAR

Who fucking knows at this point. I'm far more concerned about China and Iran than Syria and NK. He's too buddy-buddy with Russia, and is probably starting to realize he could get a Nobel if NK goes well.

Let's elect Trump and scream at anyone who says otherwise what's the worst that could happen?: The Great pre-20's Grift of American White Nationalism

is probably a book I'm going to write before I die.

WEW, Trump's calling for removing filibuster rules and changing Senate voting rules to simple majority instead of 2/3rds. This is what happens right before the ruling class shove through a bunch of shit nobody wants. They're seizing the moment, my dudes.

This post made laugh for some reason

Holla Forums is canvassing trying to sell the Bolton pick as a good idea (of course).

1st day in:
John Bolton, a man who thinks we need to strike North Korea and Iran first and a firm believer in preemptively striking first without warning (just like Trump), starts military exercises in China's soveriegn waters in early morning.

Are you ready to get drafted, and shipped to the jungle American 18-45 yr old fuckos?

The problem isn't quantity, it's quality, our nukes are mostly outdated.

If that's the case I can see the motivation to have up-to-date weapons

That doesn't mean jack. Trump is fucking tofu when it comes to major decision making, going along with whatever plan sucks his cock the hardest.

If Bolton sells him on the idea that a war with Iran will make him the greatest president in history and erase Obama from existence, he'll do it.

Wouldn't the quantity probably outweigh the even need for quality

Not if the nukes explode in the silos.

Are you even sure that would happen

It's more fun if they blink in candyshop colors and have bluetooth.

At this point, we can assume the opposite of whatever Trump or his spokespeople say.

Trump won't sign the bill? Trump will sign the bill.
Trump won't fire McMaster? Trump will fire McMaster.
Trump won't go to war?…

Capitals aren't necessarily the highest priority targets for a first strike attack
Pic related depicts what a hypothetical soviet attack on the US would have looked like. Black circles are first strike targets, purple triangles are second strike targets.
The first strike in a global nuclear exchange would be aimed at preventing retaliation, while a second retaliatory strike would attempt to wipe out the enemy's civilian population by hitting cities.

Legit the us air force found like 30% of its nukes are fit to use.

What the fuck is going on in Montana and North Dakota? I assume there are silos there? I know there are a lot out in rural areas in the West

If North Korea can do it, I doubt most of these nukes would "explode in silos". Being "unfit for use" doesn't mean premature explosion, it probably means they might not deploy at all.

Which is a problem, but if we take one out of five nukes the US military has, it's still more than anyone else on the planet

Putting "the ICBM might not deploy its payload" as a hypothetical negative in terms of the US military's wants was pretty painful.

I don't think I want to say that again.

They crash dozens of F-16s every year like they were paper airplanes and they are maintaining and exercising those all the time. I wonder how many ICBMs can realistically get off the ground. I guess if we ever need to nuke the midwest we're gravy though.

Multilateral disarmament?
But that's beside the point. They have terrible power, but are merely destructive and not nearly as dirty as they used to be. It's less the use of them at all that bothers me. It's the genocide. It's thinking burning millions is acceptable. It's the modern form of terror bombing. Even when looking at them like as weapons, why is our "normal" potential use for them to be holocaust?

Once nuclear weapons became powerful these sort of plans were inevitable.

Because war is war and war is blood. You aren't wrong, but "staying ahead of the curve" was the deciding factor in developing all those nuclear weapons, jets, helicopters, airplanes, experimental aircraft, tanks, APCs, automatic rifles, sonic electronic ball busters etc

Then, because Capitalism behaves this way, who wouldn't have seen this fucking coming, "staying ahead of the curve" became permanent in the sense that the Government and the US Military's put so much money into the manufacturing output during and directly after World War I and World War II, that it created the military industrial complex. It got worse every after the second world war.

Thus, the market became swaddled with weapons manufacturers that it needed, if they were gone it would all crash and fall apart. So the US, instead of manufacturing to keep ahead of the curved, manufactured weapons just to manufacture weapons so the market wouldn't destroy itself.

This was like heroin to the market, it's fucking awful to do, and you never should have done it, but blood feud necessitated manufacture and there's no checks and balances in capitalism to stop such a thing like this from happening in the first place.

As it grew, from the top down, every part of the US government, because if this all fell apart, so would the market, and what if the Soviets did this or that, infected regular political mind and thought

Why do you think people were even protesting the Vietnam War in the 60's. It wasn't just the Vietnam War, it's that World War II just happened, this kind of shit was frankly unprecedented in history at that point, and another World War could happen the next fucking week as people were being sent off to die. For a Cold War Truman declared with the Truman doctrine, he shot up the market with a kind of heroin it could never quit.

So, because of this endless feedback loop of arms manufacturing, it necessitated an arms race. Because the US was out of control in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.

But now the Soviets are gone.

And the military industrial complex has reached its natural conclusion.

In a way, the Two World Wars managed to make America the deadliest power in existence not for any moral, justifiable, or logical reason, but because it has a lot of fucking money and it gave that money to weapons manufacturers to stay ahead of the curve in a growing diplomatic community, from the League of Nations to the UN.

Two World Wars worth of dead men cursed the soil they died on, creating the necessity to end all men.

It's fairly Biblical.

Air Craft carriers occupy an interesting niche. They are incredibly useful for power projection during peace time and for toppling regimes in the developing world. But most of them would inevitably be sunk in the opening hours of a real hot war.
The defense is retaliation. There will be no hot war because the stakes are too high.

And here's an addendum

America created the biggest military the world has ever seen from Capitalism and because it has, it will never stop or it will end Capitalism.

Since the Soviets are gone, and they had less of this problem then just responding to what America could possibly do, America could justifiably demand for the end of the Soviet Union. And so it ended.

And now everyone is capitalist and capable of this very dire feedback loop of military manufacturing response turning into military industrial complex, the next big loop is other nations acquiring this feedback loop like a virus. Like a drug. Like heroin.

Which means some frankly terrible shit.

I got a fuck ton of food allergies that prevent me from eating MREs and my eyes are all busted to fuck. Somehow I still manage to live a normal life and have plenty of friends I've had since high school, and I've been in relationships before.

It wouldn't hurt; I'm not sure that it would matter. In any case working out will help you feel happier, or at least more at place. If you do decide to give into doom, which I imagine is tempting, if not necessary, for all of us here, at least do so with the intent to enjoy the minimal present you have, with friends, family members, books and writing and other pleasurable activities. I myself have little hope, but life has hardly ever met my or anyone else's expectations and predictions, why ought it begin to now? There's always hope in uncertainty, and we live, if nothing else, in the most uncertain times in human history.
Rejoice! The world does what it does without discernible reason; a situation in our favor may occur yet.

Also working out will improve your health and increase your life expectancy so if communism wins in your lifetime, you will increase the amount of time you could expect to enjoy it.

I want the Democrats to take Congress simply to see how they factor it into Trump's larger scheme.

Kek, your dream is becoming increasingly likely. The Republicans deserve it too at this point. How many dimensions can Trump project his chess scheme into it?

watching the aut-right meltdown on twatter right now is gold because 99.99999999999% of them will still vote GOP in 2018 and for trump in 2020 because of scary trannies or whatever

Is there a certain hashtag? Post some of the good ones here, I want a good laugh

It's more likely they'll just sit it out instead. That's been happening a lot in these recent elections.

Signing up to the Army to rape an Iranian mother shielding her children from murder because I have no GF, because we destabilized the fuck out of Iran during the Cold War necessitating this war to inevitably occur, so I could also stop people from having gender dysphoria and own the libs, because nobody could ever dissent against a veteran.

Laughing and crying as I see my comrade shot after I filled her up, I wanted her to suffer through the pregnancy I gave her. Then my comrade just said "No problem man, she only has daughters. They're fucking Muslims, they're bugs, they're below us, who gives a shit man. Young pussy is the best pussy". We all laugh as we take turns raping them as they cry out in agony, blood, and screams. They died too. And nobody knows, do people honestly give a shit about Iranians? I think aloud, everyone shouts and laughs, "FUCK NO!"

We all laugh about superior force of power for being white against the Muzzies.

We go home, and we're heralded as heroes. No one dares disrespect us Veterans.

My Lai 2.0, a war of Holla Forumsyp's gleefully signing up to battle to destroy Iran to say they helped the white race kill and deface more Muslims for making them do this. Everyone at home cheering Donald Trump as the leader we needed.

Thousands upon thousands are dead. Those were the officially reported numbers. The reality was far more people died in the Iran War, Trump is elected to a second term. Just like Iraq, Afghanistan before it

Iran never recovers, and the CIA funds destabilizing agents throughout it, so the military industrial complex can make that market soar.

God Bless America, God Bless Rape, God Bless the Soil made up of the Millions upon Millions of dead Native Souls this country was founded on, God Bless the Slaves for facilitating the Infrastructure they built against their will and died of malnutrition to make it. God bless the deaths of every war we ever fought against a nation powerless to defend themselves, because we are the victims and we are the meek. God bless all the women who were raped in them who had to birth children they raised and never told who made them into being

God Bless America, and God Bless Death

God Bless Santa Claus, God Bless the Easter Bunny, God Bless Burger King, God Bless God, and God Damn Our Enemies, May Those Women Rot in Hell for loving the children we forced her to bare

The Iran War became the Iran Genocide, because God is on Our Side

And God loves Holla Forums so much by the time they get home and realize what they've done and seen, they all commit suicide like most Veterans in combat.

But it doesn't matter. They were all Real Americans, Fighting for the Rights of Every Man, They Were all Real Americans, Fight for What's Right

This is basically what would happen if we ever go to war with Iran. How would I know? Because it's happened every war we ever fought in over seas

There's a possibility. The Democrats are actually in serious risk of losing Senate power this year. However, if they manage to hold onto all of their seats and gain 3 more, they'll control the Senate. It's an incredibly slim chance, but with the way things are shaping up, it could happen.

That's why the Senate is avoiding the suggestion like the plague. They know that if there's a Democrat sweep in 2020 like there was with Obama, they'll be shit out of luck.

Also, Trump is wrong. The reason it went heavily for the Democrats is because the alternative was working with the Freedom Caucus, and those fucks would've killed it. So it was either make a deal with the Dems or not pass anything.

C'mon, America is not going to war under trump. I mean the government is already unstable as shit, how can they afford a war. Especially with Iran, which is not considered absolute evil by most non Americans.

The United States has been hostile to Russia for centuries and this is only gonna make it worse.

We've been taunting them fir decades at the Crimean border.

I'm telling you the reality of a war in Iran. Because this is how American troops engaged in War for over a century now, and it's practically all the same savagery.

Even if it isn't under Trump, he's setting even more groundwork for the inevitable war. And trust me, it is an inevitable war. Under this Administration, or some Administration down the line.

In my book americans are worst than the fucking nazis mate. It's not like I don't belive you, I got called out so many times as a reactionary for saying that Americans are scum.
That said, yeah there will be a war, just not now pls…

Even if it does not happen under Trump, war with Iran is inevitable as long as America is commited to Imperialism and serves as a slave for Israel lobby

So what are the realistic odds we’re going to war with Iran with Bolton in charge?

Horrifying odds. The problem with Bolton between administrations when we thanked our stars he was out of the White House power sphere of Bush, he learned how to get his way even outside by being charming and lobbying to what the powerful want, money, justifications for war, what have you. Worming his way into national security circles. Not nearly as much power as before, but fairly outspoken, and to those people, very convincing.

So not only is he back in the White House, is more convincing, and is advising Trump who just lets anyone on his good side get what they want; he also has plenty of Nat-Sec people behind his back to talk to Trump about Iran.

What would Trump even do surrounded by Bolton and Nat Sec people who want war with Iran, when Bolton was hired for being "tougher" according to Trump

So the odds are horrifying

Not sure who the account is but the video is pretty indicative of his stance. Trump's already hawkish on Iran. War though? Heightened tensions at the least

I put them at 2/10
A war with Iran would require ground invasion and I just don't think they'd risk thousands of casualties. Plus there's uncertainty about how Russia would react, it could preemptively help Iran with air defense and make any invasion a potential WW3 scenario.

Why the fuck does Portland, Oregon have so many triangles and dots? This town and its port are fairly useless.

Overseeing the development and signing off on plans to escalate the Syrian/Eastern Iraqi conflict. Especially if the conflict dies down, they're bringing in Bolton to keep it going and take advantage of possible political crises in Iran that can be used to destabilize the government.

To be clear, though, this nuke map should only concern you if we expect hot war with either Russia or China which, at the moment, I can't especially see occurring in the foreseeable future.While North Korea can certainly nuke America, it cannot nuke the entire continent due to their limited nuke amount. Unless you live in: Austin/Houston, Seattle, San Diego, Washington DC, NYC, Hawaii, Guam, or Mar-a-Lago, you're not really in their cross-hairs. Iran of course doesn't have any nuclear weapons.

Of course if the US indeed does strike NK, chances are raised of a confrontation between the US and China, but it seems unlikely that it would go nuclear quickly, if at all. Writing this in hopes of saving fellow comrades from panic attacks.

Jesus fucking Christ.

So let me get this straight

Roy Moore's lawyers, long after he lost, approached the lawyers of someone he molested when they were underage, and are suing him for a variety of legal reasons. Then, they offered a bribe to stop being her lawyer, in a plan with Breitbart to publish the lawyers giving a false statement on their client they just were bribed out of defending

and it didn't work anyways because what kind of fucking lawyer does that

How fucking shitty are Roy Moore's Lawyers, and how is Breitbart this legally in the fucking negative zone

Breitbart really is scummy, but this is next fucking level. Must be desperation.

Why are the GOP so laughably cartoonishly fucking evil. I know that the whole Government is cartoonishly fucking evil, but why are they this cartoonishly fucking evil

Where can you even find these Clown Lawyers. I mean yes, I know there are plenty of Clown Lawyers

But this is a fucking Saul Goodman level Clown Lawyer

Also, of all the lawyers at your disposal, with some fucking WEIGHTY damn charges against you, why the fuck would you hire someone this incompetent. Is Roy Moore autistic

Read it again. This happened a month before the election.

But yes, they were desperate. Bannon had a lot riding on Alabama.

Serves him fucking right for trying to do this seedy shit

Don't be talking shit about Saul.

I often recoil in disgust at what people do, and how ignorant so many others are, and I have the thought that we deserve to be wiped out. But then I meet a person who is genuinely nice, or I see some little kid who honestly believes that good things happen to good people. And for that .0001% of the population, and for the potential for that to eventually be the norm, I say yes. Humanity deserves and needs socialism.

There's a bright side. I believe socialism is resonating with more people. The tax cuts and Trump are being met with distinct unenthusiasm. Only religiously supportive Trump voters are enthralled by his performance. GOP is having to resort to Pennsylvania Supreme Court like tactics to win elections and remain the party in power. They are associated with being extremely free market pro capitalist anti socialists. They're definitely not a friend of Marxism even by Derrida's stretch of the mind pure deconstructionism (except by making capitalism look like shit). People don't want war for a bunch of stupid shit. So, not a bad day's business for mind slanging socialism. CHEERS

If we word is correctly, it wouldn't be difficult to get more people to question capitalism. But we would need to be tactful, and avoid buzzwords.

Hell call it anything else but communism and sell it to defecters from the right wing and Republicans. I want to invent a new kind of communism that is technocratic socialist green pro gun pro military and triumphantalist called anything but communism. That would wring in the militias, and right wingers if it was geared to them too (no idpol).

perhaps something like Victocracy. The government of victory over greed, cowardice and liberal lies.

My only problem in creating this with right wingers would be that I firmly people are labor and immigrants shouldn't be persecuted because their labor is a commodity and source of wealth. Persecuting refugees is a fucking staple of the right wing. You can't have the masses in America's temperature right now without the latinos.

Needs more green farmer technocrat

should be interesting given that state security and the military are going to openly take over the government before 2024

Not at all what we want. No the most common thing we're looking for in green Marxist technocratic farmer pro gun pro military is a theory like socialist cybernetica and a military like Lenins. No thought police. It just can't be called communism in name, but it's theories on Das Kapital must transcend communism in favor of the proletariat. The future, and not the past. I'm a wierd academic type, and pretty clever. I'm not after fascism. I'm trying transcend all known paradigms. More invention than derivation but whatever replaces the sun is just a new and different sun.
