" … Neocons are about using American force not just for interests, but to establish certain values and changes around the world.
I don’t think Bolton is a neocon because he doesn’t seem to care about democracy promotion; he’s an advocate of preventive war, which means acting way in advance to stomp out a perceived threat — that’s significantly different than preemptive war, which is about neutralizing an imminent threat.
Bolton’s approach to war is preventive, and I think it’s extremely dangerous. …"
Pre-emptive strikes are the tools of governmental bullies. Just like in the schoolyard, the bully will attack. Just like in the schoolyard if victims collaborate to fight back it’s all over for the bully. Hitler didn’t realize that the world could collaborate and fight back thereby losing him his Empire built on Bully tactic military strikes. We should always stand up to bullies. Vote them out!!!!!!! Bullys are usually compensating for their own physical insecurities. VOTE THEM OUT!! No one truly wins a war. The price paid for war especially in this day and age is intolerable because it could Wipe Out the entire world. Who wants to pay that price???? VOTE THEM OUT !!!
The world just got less safe. I hadn’t heard of this jerk for several years and now It dug him up and put him in a position of power. The administration of this country truly is insane.
Imperial Japan launched a pre-emptive strike on the United States of America on December 7, 1941. Isoroku Yamamoto argued against such an attack, though he led it as a good military man should, and said afterwards, “I fear that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
Now, if you are an ethically-challenged person, attacking, say, North Korea, might seem like a safe bet. You’d be bullying a small and impoverished country, rather than a giant. With nuclear weapons, though, it’s a different matter. Kim Jong-Un doesn’t even need missiles. I imagine there are officials in the United States that spend a lot of time worry about shipping containers with nuclear weapons being deposited in American ports.
And then, there are the Chinese, who might be a more than a bit ticked off at having a neighbour hammered.

A White House full of militant Chicken Hawks who avoided going into the American Military. They want you to die for their wars.

Bolton’s mind-set is worrying.
Imperial Japan launched a pre-emptive strike on the United States of America on December 7, 1941. Isoroku Yamamoto argued against such an attack, though he led it as a good military man should, and said afterwards, “I fear that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
