Regime change against countries such as Venezuela and Iran, as well as Cuba and North Korea, would not only weaken Russia and China but it would also send a strong message that no one should ever defy the United States.
Bolton has a coherent worldview. His hawkish peers -- both Republicans and Democrats -- don't have his nerve. They'll back this regime change war (Venezuela) or that (Iran). They will do so pretending that they are being pragmatic and are responding to "intelligence." But none of these wars of aggression -- whether against Iraq or Iran, Afghanistan or Venezuela -- are merely driven by pragmatism. Bolton lays out the full agenda. He is more a mainstream U.S. intellectual than the mainstream would like to admit. The U.S. mainstream is Bolton with manner. Their normalcy is merely Bolton's philosophy in bits and pieces.
