Crackpot Bolton Stirring Up Tensions In Persian Gulf Region

One of Donald "Not Exonerated" Trump's most deranged advisors (and there's quite a flock to choose from) has to be his National Security Advisor John Bolton (and his constant upper lip companion "General Snowball"), someone who's been fixated on starting a war with Iran for decades.  Now the monomaniacal maniac is at it again:

In a late Sunday statement warning—without any evidence whatsoever—of “troubling and escalatory” actions by the Iranian government, U.S. national security adviser John Bolton used the scheduled deployment of an American aircraft carrier and bomber task force to the Middle East to threaten Iran with military action.

The United States, said Bolton, “is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.”

Foreign policy analysts and international observers were quick to point out that the Lincoln Strike Group’s deployment was announced nearly a month ago—a fact critics highlighted as further evidence that Bolton is willing to use any and every opportunity to move the U.S. closer to war with Iran.

This is someone so bizarre that he couldn't get confirmed as Dumbya's Ambassador to the United Nations in 2005, an organization he disdained, and the crackpot hasn't become any more sane since. Now that he has clueless buffoon Trump to manipulate at will, he's more dangerous than ever.

While this particular gambit may just be Bolton bluffing, perhaps because he and/ or Trump suddenly feel the need to distract show "resolve" to our thug Saudi allies as well as Israel's Trump, Bibi Netanyahu, things can easily get out of hand in a region constantly on edge.  The Saudis and Netanyahu would like nothing better than for the U.S. to take on Iran while they watched from the sidelines, and Bolton is their inside man.

Can you say "Gulf of Tonkin incident"?
