Calling John Bolton “hawkish” is like calling the ocean “wet”. Technically true, but it doesn’t convey the scale.
If he’s awake - Natsec Yosemite Sam wants to bomb Iran.
sanguinary or sanguineous might be closer to the truth
Bloodthirsty
don’t do this to me, democrats, don’t make a solid foreign policy case for voting for trump
NATO appears to be failing. If this comes to pass, my prediction is that this will be the cover for the creation of a more nimble, more distributed, more balkanized form of transnational force projection.
by balkanized you mean multipolar
No, NATO, even in a distributed form, will never be multi-polar. There isn’t a European contender for US hegemony. What I mean by balkanized is that the USA’s strategy of blowback (building up terrorist cells, let them run wild, go in and fight them again) may be coming to Europe (build little transnational militaries, let them fight, justify intervention).
A balkanized NATO would look like small regional hybrid command centers that employ private military contractors (in true neoliberal form) and since it’ll be in Europe they’ll be led by the current evolution of the fascist leave-behind armies created during Operation Gladio. That means distributed nuclear-armed private fascists given cover, legitimacy, and propaganda support by socdems and outright neofascist governments (who don’t get their hands dirty). This would be the next evolution of the white nationalist decentralization playbook that has been happening in the USA for the last 30 years, which itself was modeled after the leave-behind program of Operation Gladio, so it makes sense it would bound back at the next level of abstraction.
I feel like if the Ukrainian situation destabilises, and it’s hard to imagine that Ukraine is currently in a state of equilibrium right now or that it will persist in the long-term, it’s not a wild overreach of imagination to assume that there’s a possibility of some/all of the armed, trained, blooded fascist (para)militaries might pack up from the frontlines in the east and decide to head westward to stir up trouble.
Am I saying it’s a safe bet that it’ll happen? Absolutely not.
Am I saying that there’s a European Mujahideen phenomenon just waiting to happen if the conditions are right? Definitely.
I think they mean that US capital will excise the dead weight, drop the “human rights” and “defense” pretenses and form a more brutal and lawless coalition with the most powerful warmongers like Turkey.
the EU Army is on the rise at the same time
Seriously, I won’t support Trump but the more the libs and neocons say shit like this the less I care about him winning
I’m just like, good
Can’t help but look forward to these genocidal freaks crying their eyes out in November
Reminder that John Bolton is literally the dumbest man alive.
After he was sacked he wrote a book where he accused Trump of several attempts at contacting reality.
Yah know he may be a piece of shit human, but I feel like if there’s one good role for assholes like Nick in society it’s trolling official institutions. Shame he’s too famous now to pull crap like this anymore.
Maybe there is something to horseshoe theory
Trump is our guy. The dumbass Republicans will implode the US empire lmfao
