    Well I've already googled how to build a bomb shelter.

    ...just to be on the safe side.

    TYT making fear-mongering, stupid videos? Never seen this before. Remember the one where they said the Republicans wanted to kill Puppies because like 5 guys in Kansas didn't want to fund a shelter?

    You don't say? But that doesn't matter. If I told you there is a 50% chance you'll die tomorrow, you wouldn't tell me there's a 50% chance you won't die, because that logic is fucking stupid.

    You know this is a political appointment.Meaning, Romney will be less likely to actually listen to him.

    Also, after having actually watched this video I have concluded that it's one of the stupidest, post politically biased videos I have ever seen. Apparently Jon Bolton is a psychopathic maniac who wants to invade everything, except nations where there's an uprising.

    And then Jon Bolton has a quote saying, "Let's put aside Syria for now and pressure Iran to stop building nuclear weapons." Apparently TYT decided this means "Fuck the Syrian People, I hope they all get massacred by Assad. Invade Iran! 'Merica, FUCK YEAH".

    Then when Jon Bolton says (basically), "By intervening in Syria we could cause larger problems on the international scale with Russia and Iran", the TYT says that he thinks Russia and Iran will be rolling tanks into Syria to fight the US Invasion. No, even worse. They think he wants to start a war with Russia.

    THEN when Jon Bolton says that we shouldn't cooperate with China and Russia in the START Arms-Treaty, TYT says he wants to fucking start an arms race in space and probably blow up China and Russia in the process in space.


    In all actuality, Jon Bolton's plans aren't that crazy. Syria is losing support from China and Russia gradually with each slaughter and eventually the Russians and Chinese may decide enough is enough and stop vetoing. Then an intervention can become lawful and we wont have to violate international law to intervene. And by the way, if we did break international law and started bombing Syria, it wouldn't be crazy to see problems from Iran and Russia and China, though he left China out in this quote. They wouldn't roll in the tanks or anything, nor would the US, but even the slightest difference in diplomatic relations can mean a lot.

    This also leads into the first quote where he says that he doesn't want to move in on Syria right now and instead get Iran to step down their nuclear build-up. Syria will fall on its own, and if not that then with UN Intervention. For now it's wiser to bide our time and let an intervention become legal. In the mean time, we should be getting Iran to stop production. I think we have a debate in another thread on why we should do that.

    As for the START treaty, China and Russia are going to wipe their asses with it as soon as the US can't enforce it. It really means nothing. It's just a formality wiped up by some pacifistic somewhere thinking he can change the future of the world. All it can do is hinder us, it wont stop the Chinese or Russians from doing whatever the fuck they want.

    Ahhh, Bolton...still a nutbag after all these years.

    Still, I don't think Romney will get the job, nor Bolton will have one either. Latest polls in the New York Times gives Romney only a 36% chance of winning in November. I think it'll be a tight race, but no reason to build a bomb shelter yet.

    Besides, if there's a war under a Romney administration, Mittens will just put his dog on top of the bomb.

    Listen to your logic please....If I have a half chance of dying tomorrow, then I also have half chance I won't die tomorrow. Seems logically sound, and it is. Its still stupid because anyone would care more about dying than not dying.
