Trumps former national security advisor, John Bolton, has atweet thats got me absolutely fuming right now.In 20182019, I made the case for regime change in Iran as often as I could. Voices in Trumps orbit often cited Irans capacity to close the Strait of Hormuz as a reason against regime change. Trump has been fully aware this is a possibility, and yet did not prepare, Bolton posted.Can you believe this shit? Dudes like Hey, Trump should have known this war would be hard because people tried to warn him not to listen to me!Motherfucker THIS WAS YOUR WAR. You were THE bomb Iran guy! You made it your entire personality for DECADES. Over the years, Ive used your name, God knows how many times, whenever I needed an example of a Beltway swamp monster whos got a throbbing hard-on for war with Iran. Now youve finally got it, and its going exactly as badly as everyone said it would, and youre like, Yeah, well, he shouldve known better; people tried to warn him about the Strait of Hormuz. Fuck you.These professional warmongers never, ever learn from their errors. Many years after the Iraq invasion turned out to be a disaster, John Bolton was still out theretelling the mediahe believed it was a resounding success, conceding only mistakes that were made subsequently to the ousting of Saddam Hussein.They never admit they were wrong. They never admit that their war was a bad idea. They only ever acknowledge that it didnt happen in exactly the way they imagined it happening in their minds. They live in this fantasy world where all their war agendas would unfold beautifully so long as they could personally control every molecule of matter involved in how it happens, completely ignoring that this is impossible and any war is always going to have an unfathomable number of moving parts you cant control.In their eyes, the wars are never wrong; theyre only ever executed incorrectly. US military interventionism can never fail; it can only be failed.Bolton doesnt even seem to have any idea what Trump could have done differently to stop Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz. I listened toan NPR interviewthe other day where he slammed Trump for not having done the planning in advance to prevent the Iranian blockade, but he never at any time outlined what Trump could have done to accomplish this. He just said there was a huge hole in the planning and that they apparently didnt take as seriously as they should have the potential to mine the Strait of Hormuz, without ever saying what they could have done.He doesnt know. He himself, Mister Iran War, had no plan for how to carry out this war without disastrous consequences for the US and its allies. Hes spent his entire blood-soaked career pushing for a war he never had any idea how to actually carry out.These are the kinds of minds they have spearheading the US empires wars.All the worst people are getting exactly what they want, and it turns out they dont even want it, like Elon Musktweeting Whoever said money cant buy happiness really knew what they were talking about last month. Theyre getting everything they asked for, and its making everyone miserable, and its not even making THEM happy.The imperial status quo elevates the worst among us. The least wise. The least insightful. The least compassionate. The least deserving. The least qualified.We need drastic revolutionary change, and we need it now.The post The Warmongers Will Never Admit They Were Wrong and Will Never Learn from their Mistakes appeared first on Dissident Voice.
