See but Kissinger felt like a worthy adversary. A cold, calculating man who you could despise but also know he was smart and crucial in shepherding the empire.
Bolton is a raving lunatic who just wants to bomb Iran and will settle for any point on the map remotely close to it. He didn't earn shit, he made his name during Bush 2 when America had no powerful adversaries. He didn't mastermind shit, he just got to ride with the new cabal in power.
Dick Cheney is my generation's Kissinger. Dick Cheney is who we direct all our hexes and curses towards. And unlike Kissinger, Cheney made sure to get paid handsomely for his tenure as evil advisor to the emperor.
As horrible as John Bolton is (and fuck msnbc and all MSM for giving him the time of day), we're setting ourselves up for disappointment by choosing a 75 year old.
I mean many Kissinger obits were written back in the 80s and 90s, we can hold onto our hopes for years. I'd say it's a mistake picking someone so close to death when we could have another 20 years of Boltonposting
you know right after I typed that out I realized that they must have a fucking contraption to bathe that man. No way are they leaving him to a non-slip mat and some hand rails. Like he's gotta be in some kind of circus wire harness. I doubt he's getting it done alone either. Probably a whole ass shower team.
So anyway, if we start focusing our energy now, we might be able to time him slipping down the stairs of his airplane for maximum chaos.
Biden comes shuffling out to the media after being AWOL for 48 hours. He's grinning but he has a black eye, a big lump on his forehead. He's also moving slower than usual because he's limping slightly.
"Before you ask - I slipped in the shower. I've been checked out and everything is fine." He suddenly goes off script "And I didn't break my hip!" The uncomfortable silence only lasts a few seconds but he knows he just made his job of seeming normal ten times harder. "So you see..."
Still one of the most surreal thing I've ever watch, like Fox guys probably thought Mullen was a right wing personality because of a tweet or something but still
Plus the introduction of mass produced fentanyl made opium less profitable, so the CIA had no reason to stay anymore. It wasn’t some anti-imperialist move, it was an empire cutting its losses to prepare for war in Ukraine (began only months later)
Are we really currently defending genocide Joe who has started multiple wars and backs the genocide of Gaza?
