I Am Not A Fan Of Americas 46th President by Caitlin Johnstone

The United States of American political landscape is complicated. The last I checked there was some other bloke in the White House calling the shots, and now all of a sudden everyone is taking orders from John Bolton.

To be perfectly honest, I do not even remember the United States having another election.

I thought it was every four years, but who knows??

I used to think the United States had a Constitution and that turned out to be a myth.

Maybe Robert Muellers investigation got rid of the last guy like the Democrats promised and the United States of Americans elected President Bolton after that???

I know I am supposed to be a political commentator and all, but there is too much to keep track of and it is all very confusing.

So now the United States of America has a new president, and you know what??

Not a fan.

Not a fan at all.

He is always trying to start wars and interfere in the affairs of other nations like he is some kind of psychopath or something.

I know United States of Americans are not fond of foreigners criticising their government officials, but to be perfectly frank I do not know what you Yanks were thinking electing this chap.

I could understand why you all elected the last guy, the fellow with the reality TV show.

I did not agree with a lot of his policies and his personality was often downright oafish, but I could understand.

He promised to end interventionist wars and bring all the wasted money and resources back to the United States of America, which if I recall correctly he wanted to make great and put first or something of that nature.

How does a country go from selecting a president like that to President Bolton??

I mean, look at what your new president is doing in Iran.

Your last president campaigned against wars in the Middle East, correctly pointing out that they "have unleashed destruction, terrorism and ISIS across the world," and frequently criticized his predecessor for excessive hawkishness towards Iran.

Now your 46th president is weighing the possibility of sending 120,000 troops to fight Iran, which former National Security Advisor Colin Kahl said is an operation that would only be used in the event of an invasion with the goal of regime change.

Or how about Venezuela??

Your last presidents inauguration speech criticized United States interventionism, and won the primary and general elections largely due to his criticisms of his opponents interventionist foreign policies, but now President Bolton is actively pushing to topple Venezuelas government and install a puppet regime there.

Or Syria??

What is going on with Syria??

Your last president was saying he is going to bring all the troops home, then next thing you know Mr. Bolton is in charge saying it is basically never going to happen.

Look, United States of Americans, I do not want to tell you how to run your country, but in my opinion you have got to be more careful about who you elect to control the most powerful military force in the history of civilisation.

This Bolton fellow is a deranged maniac with an extensive history of catastrophic war peddling and downright sociopathic behavior, and you should never have allowed him to be in charge.

Next election, whenever that is, please make sure you turn up at the voting booths in record numbers and make sure your voice gets heard.

You are lucky enough to live in a nation where you get to directly participate in your governments behavior by voting for who will represent your interests in your government based on their political positions, and you should take full advantage of that wonderful blessing.

There are nations in this world who have their leaders selected for them, or where they get to vote as a symbolic placebo but their votes do not matter at all when it comes to the way their nation is actually governed.

Count yourselves lucky that you do not live in one of those.
