    Doesn't take a genius to see this is just priming everyone in the west for the expansion of "Patriot Act" style civil liberty rollbacks

    As well as "justification" for ever more violent rhetoric towards China, Russia and Iran.

    For those of us who lived as older teens and adults around 2003 and the Iraq War propaganda, it's starting to feel a bit... nostalgic. Well, for those of us paying attention then and now. So for the libs it's just OHMUHGAWDPOOOTIN. This is all happening under the allegedly slightly less right wing democratic party as well. Just wait until we Trump back, baby. Not so much Trump himself, but whoever his all-star cast of war criminals and professional genociders like John Bolton ends up being. Btw, we need a gofundme to kidnap (in Minecraft? Not sure what weird laws might exist around former state actors like him. Free speech btw...) him and send him to Iran to face trial. Venezuela might also be interested but they're currently doing oil deals, so, Iran it is. Seeing Bolton convicted in Iran and executed would make me so happy even though it effectively wouldn't matter at all. Sometimes you just want a treat.
