John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, criticized Barack Obama for saying that the threat posed to us by Iran isn’t as serious as the threat from Soviet Union was:
An “asymmetric” threat to the U.S. often is an existential threat to its friends, which was something we never forgot during the Cold War.
More plainly, Bolton is saying that the American people must sacrifice their self interest so that Israel doesn’t have to defend herself alone. It doesn’t matter that Iran isn’t a serious threat to America, it is a serious threat to Israel, whose interests must be placed before ours.
You can substitute for Israel any of the Arab states in the region that we finance. But mostly you’re supposed to hear “Israel” and envision scary-looking Persians ransacking the Holy Land, while Jesus Christ looks on and weeps.
How is this not socialism on a global scale? How can John Bolton, with a straight mustache, criticize Obama for advocating that America act in the best interest of America, and assess threats as they pertain to America? Golly, you’d think Obama was running for President of the United States instead of Leader of the Free World™!
