John #Bolton is too crazy for the crazies. Read the stuff he's had published in "respected" foreign policy journals over decades; it's bonkers. The problem is that, assuming a scandal-ridden lame duck executive for the next 2 years (vote, #US citizens!), a newly respectable crazy like Paul #Ryan, refreshed after 2 years of faux-retirement from public life, may in 2020 be up against Hillary "this time, for sure!" #Clinton instead of a candidate who _isn't_ the least popular politician in the country, and it's all over. #Trump and his mini-Nietzsche seriously believe fascism-lite will deliver some form - however selective - of greatness and glory, but they're incompetent. Competent crazies like Ryan don't care about greatness; they just want to import banana republic policy (the "Washington Consensus") back home and make out like bandits while the 99% starve. https://www.vox.com/world/2018/11/1/18052338/bolton-cuba-venezuela-nicaragua-speech-troika-tyranny
