Thank you non-stop war supporting media.

Apr 29, 2005 - So it's entirely unsurprising to read the following about John Bolton, Yale '70, in the Yale Daily News: Though Bolton supported the Vietnam War, he declined to enter combat duty, instead enlisting in the National Guard and attending law school after his 1970 graduation. "I confess I had no desire to die in a ...

(9,500 posts)Trump, Bolton, Cheney, Nugent, most everyone at Fox News etc. What get's me is that they attack Republicans like Mueller and McCain and the Republican base eats it up.
The chicken hawks and the Republican base use the military and the flag as a political prop for their ambitions, and to secure their power.

already have approval for war from the Iraq war resolution? Something about fighting them where ever they are? Seems like that resolution was too broad yet it was voted for🤨

(14,498 posts)A few ways:
1. Cyber attacks on our power systems or grid, industry, banking and/or government.
2. Even worse election meddling and sowing of discord via the internet.
3. Attacking Ukraine or a Baltic state (perhaps triggering a NATO reaction).
4. Sinister measures similar to the UK nerve agent poisoning.
5. Shoot down one of our aircraft (one that of an ally) in a clandestine fashion.
6. Cause a natural gas energy crisis in Europe.
7. Release Kompromat on Trump and/or many other of our politicians (could be good or bad, LOL).
I'm sure I've just scratched the surface!

I think he meant that they have Russia protecting them.
