Your request, we'll deliver ... bombing Iran's oil facilities in the offing. UK, Israel, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia are gung ho for a "retaliatory" attack for the threats coming out of Teheran. Whose threats? What sources? British MI6 once more? Perhaps deep penetration from Mossad's spymasters?

○ With Bolton whispering in Trump's ear, war with Iran is no longer unthinkable | The Guardian - Opinion |
○ Is John Bolton the most dangerous man in the world?

The subversion of democracy and sponsorship of repression in Venezuela by foreign military actors, namely Cuba, Russia, and Iran, will not be tolerated. Those actors are on notice.

"Deep penetration", an apt simile.

"subversion of democracy" Authentic double speak from the US government determined to replace an elected head of state with a person who didn't even run for the office.

But in US foreign policy, "democracy" has had a special glossing for well over a century now, namely, "A country is a democracy if and only if it complies with US corporatist demands." If you refuse to be a "democracy," we will turn you into one by any means available.

So long as Long John Bolt-brain continues to waste oxygen, he's in the running for World's Most Dangerous.
