the way for Bolton to testify.

Bolton's urging and any devil's deal would be in addition to the warmongering of Pompeo, Pence and the evangelical leaders whose support is existential to Trump. Also, of course, all Trump's roads lead to Putin.



Let's hope that, in spite of Iran's promise of "crushing" response, their leaders, and Putin, don't really want a religious war between Islam and Christianity in a world of WMD and will be more restrained.

Putin and the Saudis. Trump is making his bosses happy. Remember Trump kicked this
whole thing off after meeting with Lavrov in the White House and talking with Putin on the
phone.

That he would even blow up the whole world with nuclear bombs in order to distract from his own impeachment - so starting a nice little war with Iran is a very attractive option for him. But I didn't consider the possibility that giving Bolton what he always wanted in exchange for his silence as an impeachment witness - Trump's evil, twisted, sociopathic genius strikes again!
