Mr. Bolton, it is NOT for your country to tell others how to govern their land. It is for the IRANIANS to decide their destiny. Remember that nobody has asked you "the favor". Do you get that? GOOD. Now remove your plastic sheriff star from your coat.
And another point. Before pointing the finger at Iran go and remove all the "religious fanatics pursuing radical ideology" from you OWN government. You have too many in there and the nerve to complain about Iran.
Mr. Bolton, I am a Brazilian and I say you should be way more humble. And I sincerely hope an international flotilla blows the sh!t out of any American ship trying to block the strait the Lord created for the countries around it. If the Lord wanted the US to have it, He would had placed it in North America, but He didn't. Now go back to your place and remain there in silence.
Who suffers from sanctions on Russia? The European people.
Now the same thing is about to happen again.
If North Koreans can survive for decades with a poor quality of life, why can’t Iranians?
Thank you guys for exposing the filthy brain of this punk
He’s just as dumb as Trump. You cannot make the Strait safe. If Iran wants to hit boats they’re gonna hit them
His big fear is if arab states kicked out the military companies he's singing for
Despite his Trump criticisms and breaks from the administration, he’s still an absolutely insane war hawk who doesn’t understand the situation or context of what he’s saying
That was like watching two fish try real-real hard to get a barnacle off a whale's backside.
This is about US control of world oil & LNG, making the world dependent on US oil & gas. Trump doesnt care about retail prices. He cares about Trump inc/ his oil exec buddies – all of whom will benefit from US energy dependency & higher prices. Therefore he cldnt care about blowing up Pars. He also already stole Venezuela's oil and is busy blowing up Russian oil. He also said out loud that he wants to steal Kharg oil.
can we send bolton to the front lines with his children?
Bolton never met an invasion of a middle eastern country he didn’t like.
The ship going down is here in America. Iran isn't sinking. Bolton is delusional.
hey just the man we all want to hear from hes still trying to b relevant
Ignore Bolton.
The USA lost no victory only billions spent a waste of taxpayer money. Let’s be clear once this pedophile president is impeached than there might be a chance with NATO to unwind this catastrophe. I and only I can feel it when I shit 💩 my diaper IAM shitting 💩 my diaper 💩 now 😂 lunatic president yup
Bozo Bolton must be so upset he lost his place in MAGA world. A Neo-Con's Neo-Con he must be creaming his jeans over this, wishing he was in on the war.
Imagine bolton becoming the sage in trump era!!
😂 this man always says lies about Iran
Wish the interviewers would not Yap so much, and let Bolton do the talking.
This guy talks a good game, he wouldn't mind sending your kids to the middle east to die. Is John Bolton tough enough to go to the middle east and continue the war himself? I would like to see that old far shoot a gun, he would probably break in half the old fart, lol.
Kinda like our "tariffs" eh?
Ceasefire is a big mistake.
The only thing that will bring peace is regime change completely.
US and Israel have to finish the job.
What happens to US when Pakistan's defence minister Khwaja asif called to destroy our friend Israel
So, a civil war in Iran is a good idea? That will leave the strait closed for a decade.
This guy has been wrong so many times. Why do you care what he has to say.
F war cuck Bolton, and F whoever at Doomberg that's dumb enough to book this war criminal.
F*** you bolton you goddamned traitor.
He's delusional…. High on his own supply.
I couldn't make it through this.
I don’t believe anything Bolton has to say.
so his plan is to kill as many iranian leaders as possible and see what happens. thats sounds like the same plan he had for the iraq war.
Iran only need to seat back and watch US shooting itself because US is helping Iran goal of 200 oil price.
This Trump dude is such a loser. .. With a capitol L. .. Make that both a close family and administration of losers.
Wake up America… Cheers, Vail, Colorado
Send all of these Chicken Hawks to fight their own war. Young men die old men get rich.
You could as well have invited Mike Pence, attorney Cohen, and many others…
🎉🎉. Excellent inputs from Ambassador Bolton. First class honours all the way 😊
Blockade all the oil let the plants eat up the CO2
Bolton is no less evil than Trump himself, just another blood-hungry warmonger!
Why talk to this war mongering dullard who's nothing more than a trump bootlicker!!! Freaking man from monopoly gtfoh!
An israel war hawk.
😮😮. To enable Arab oil to normally transit out of the Strait of Hormuz, the USA military and Arab coalition military might need to heavily bomb and attack the key iranian islands and key coastal areas along the Strait of Hormuz, so as to further destroy and devastate the remaining missile and drone and fast boats capability of the iranian regime.
Not sure whether the USA military and Arab coalition military have sufficiently bombed the Key iranian islands and coastal highlands along the Strait of Hormuz, so as to devastate the Iranian regime remaining hidden missiles and drones capability and further devastate the Iranian fleet of fast boats and munitions and mines ….. We shall monitor…😮😮
At the narrowest point of the Strait of Hormuz, ships must pass through Iranian territorial waters (and Omani territorial waters), because the strait is only about 21 nautical miles wide and both countries claim a 12-nautical-mile territorial sea.
Well, at least John Bolton is still a moron, so some things in the world are steady and stable.
U are just bought and sold like trump to bibi
"Destroy your own alliances before they can offer support to delight your supporters and confuse your critics." Don Tzu
Totally insane Trump
What we ARE dealing with is a religious fanatic (Secretary of War Crimes) pursuing a radical ideology… Nobody talks about a regime change in Israel (Ya know, the one that started ALL the conflicts in the first place. Prove me wrong
Most countries want a regime change in America
This guy Bolton seems to know everything, then why after Trump's reelection he was not brought back as NS Adviser if he is really good? lol
Ambassador war crimes what do you think?
