Darth Bolton talks about 'Regime Changes'
[MAIL] Former National Security Advisor John Bolton mocked 'snowflakes' who were offended by his admission that he helped to plan coups d'état during his diplomatic career.
Someone has to, I suppose.
Bolton, 73, made the astonishing admission in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper as he denied claims that the Jan. 6 riot was an attempted coup.

The following day, Bolton made an appearance on the right-wing network Newsmax, where he said: 'I think there are a lot of snowflakes out there that don’t understand what you need to do to protect the United States.'

He added: 'I'm not going to get into specifics. I did write about Venezuela in my memoir, and I think that any president that's not willing to do what it takes to protect the interests of the American people needs to have some counseling.'

One person who had a problem with the remarks was former CIA agent John Sipher, who said on Twitter that Bolton was 'full of s**t. He's never planned a coup.'

Sipher went on to say: 'My point is that Bolton’s comment is dangerous because it sends a false signal to the American people that senior officials sit in the White House and choreograph coups. Nonsense.'

Technically correct, the 'planning' is done elsewhere.

#4 Didn't the ouster of Quaddafy come from Tony Blair's team? I remember the US being the helping hand in that one and not the initiator. I could be wrong.

#5 Senior officials in the Obama administration sat in the White House and planned a coup against Donald Trump.

#6 Who planned the ouster of Moammar Qadaffy in Libya?

My guess would be his friend Nick. But Baraq was in on it.
