«John Bolton» a threat to peace in the world
31/3/2018 12:00 am [rtl]Translation: Anis Saffar * John Bolton, Donald Trump's newest national security adviser, belongs to a group of men in Washington who are described as "belligerents on the bench." The members of this league rarely find anything happier in the world than they are happy to send the sons of others to die. In wars on foreign soil. As a young man, Bolton evaded military service during the Vietnam War, like the rest of his old comrades in arms like George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, as well as his new White House war-ridden leader, but that does not mean he is a messenger of peace. Bolton, the conservative and hard-line hawk, has been known for years as an apocalyptic advocate of preemptive action and military intervention in pursuit of what America's interests are believed to be. Despite the tragic consequences of the September 11 attacks on neo-conservatism and arrogant monotheism and the slogan "America First," which Bolton categorically rejects to admit, he continues to argue that the regimes in Iran and North Korea must be changed by force. Since 2003, the world has changed, but Bolton has not changed. As the New York Times last week described it as a truly dangerous man, it is hard to imagine a worse option to serve as the supreme adviser to the president. J in global security affairs. Bolton's appointment at this hinge location does not require the support of Congress, another example that shows that the US Constitution's checks and balances, which I have long praised, are actually too weak to make any impact under Trump. All this comes at a sensitive moment. Although the upcoming summit meeting between Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is hardly a fruit, the US president has a chance to snoop under the spotlight and receive praise and appreciation. South Korea's efforts to transform this desire for dialogue have made a welcome move away from the maneuvering policies on the brink of nuclear abyss that we saw last year. Bolton, whose mission is supposed to be the success of that meeting, quickly dismissed the issue as a waste of time. Last month, he argued that the Americans should initiate the first strike, which was described as a bloody option, saying it would be a "perfectly legitimate" response to Kim's continued expansion of his arsenal. The possible scenario now is that the United States will demand that Kim learn to reject it, such as halting its nuclear weapons programs and unilateral disarmament, and then placing the blame for the failure on Pyongyang. Bolton will tell us: "Here you have seen how we tried ... Now we have no choice but to bomb." We would be happy to be wrong about this. We sincerely hope so, but Bolton will not be Bolton if he has not stubbornly insisted on the enforcement of his aggressive struggle, which the Iraqis have confirmed after the heavy price they paid. It is also likely that Iran, not North Korea, will be the next big target. It seems certain that Trump is determined to shun the 2015 agreement, in which several countries have participated and which restrict Iran's nuclear capabilities, when it comes to review in May . Re-enactment of US sanctions on Tehran, which Bolton supports with great enthusiasm, will trigger a series of dangerous reactions in the Middle East. These reactions will, at worst, lead to an expansion of the Syrian conflict and turn it into a regional war that can no longer be contained. The right-wing leadership in Israel, close to the heart of Trump, shows all the signs of provoking a clash with Hezbollah, the Lebanese ally of Iran, which accuses it of mobilizing a huge arsenal of sophisticated missiles. Saddam has recently signed between the Israeli air force and Iran's Revolutionary Guards inside Syria. It is not going to end there because Tel Aviv believes that Tehran is determined to complete its aggression. In Iran, too, hardliners, who have called Bolton a "supporter of terrorism," may feel contentment in their hearts as they see the gloves take off and fists unfold in the face of Israel and its allies representing the United States and Saudi Arabia. An example would be the situation of Palestinians living in the neighborhoods of Gaza. The Middle East has always been a powder keg about to explode. Perhaps. But Trump, with Bolton picking him up and appointing him as "foreign minister" Mike Pompio, another hawk from Israel's supporters, ignited that barrel. Bolton's offensive rhetoric also extends to US policies with China and Russia. Apart from all this, the man has a history full of America's allies and the efforts of international institutions such as the United Nations. All this comes in line with Trump's narrow-minded, narrow-minded agenda that has raised the banner of national protection, but carries the vow of evil for the whole world.[/rtl] [rtl]http://www.alsabaah.iq/ArticleShow.aspx?ID=154792 [/rtl] |
