General Wesley Clark – Seven Countries in Five Years | Genius

 
We’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.

Retired General Wesley Clark revealed to Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman in 2007 the ambitious imperial plans of the Bush-Cheney inner circle.

Russia, China warn US over sending 1,000 new troops to the Gulf

Deployment of 1,000 troops to Middle East shows US on 'a conscious course to provoke war' with Iran, Moscow says.

The United States is "pumping up tensions" and could open a "Pandora's box" in the Middle East after announcing it will deploy 1,000 more troops to the already volatile region, Russia and China said on Tuesday.

Donald Trump, Iran, and the Gulf of Tonkin Redux

Intercepted  June 19 2019, 6:01 a.m.

Powerful forces within the Trump administration appear intent on war against Iran. This week on Intercepted: As the U.S. accuses Iran of attacking civilian ships while offering scant evidence, grave historical parallels are emerging with the Gulf of Tonkin incidents in 1964 that were manipulated to justify Lyndon Johnson’s dramatic escalation of the war in Vietnam. California Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna is preparing legislation aimed at stopping an attack on Iran, and he says he would not put it past national security adviser John Bolton to manipulate evidence. Journalist Negar Mortazavi of The Independent analyzes what war with Iran would look like and exposes the State Department’s funding of propaganda operations against Iran. Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman talks about the parallels with the build up to the Iraq invasion of 2003 and shares stories from her early life as a journalist.

President Trump is making this warmongering lunatic his national security adviser

John Bolton will be succeeding H.R. McMaster to become President Trump's national security adviser. This should send a chill down the spines of every American — and indeed of every person on the planet.

ME: History repeats.  Mr. Linker is correct a chill is running down America's spine.

Democratic lawmaker calls Trump a 'moron' for his handling of Iran  

The Hill - Justin Wise - 06/24/19 07:06 PM EDT

Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) on Monday denounced President Trump as a "moron" over his handling of issues with Iran, saying that he should have considered the specifics of the Obama-era nuclear deal before withdrawing the U.S. from it.

Yarmuth made the comments just hours after Trump stated that the United States's ultimate goal was to never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.

"Hey moron: the third line of the Iran Nuclear Deal guaranteed just that," Yarmuth tweeted, accompanying his post with the preamble and general provisions of the agreement.
