It's a shame Corrik doesn't know English or he could have saved himself a lot of time with those responses.

Gotta just know when to not take the bait further, bud.

I love that Corrik asked who John Bolton was and then immediately tried to correct the person who told him who John Bolton was.

I think what's lost in all this is that Corrik still hasn't really given a defense for what Bolton wants

Bolton doesn't want to just do what is needed to "protect" US citizens

He specifically wants talks with North Korea to fail so that we can go to war. He doesn't want any kind of peaceful agreement. He wants to bomb them, period.

I do not know what Bolton wants. I know he wanted to go to war with Iran in the past for their nuclear program, and he wanted to go to war with North Korea over there's. I do not know of any statements of him girding for war currently or what his thoughts are on it currently.

Like I told you at either the beginning of this topic or the last one, it seems Trump is replacing cabinet members with a lot of NeoCons. That spells a willingness to go to war. I was a fan of Bush, and his administration. They were NeoCons also.

Heres something interesting we keep looking at North Korea but China could retaliate in another way: Taiwan

http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-signs-taiwan-order-despite-warnings-from-china-2018-3

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-taiwan-usa/chinese-paper-says-china-should-prepare-for-military-action-over-taiwan-idUSKBN1GY015

So to review Trump is aggravating China by:
- Violating the One China policy by taking steps to recognize Taiwan Sovreignty
- Initiating a Trade War
- Leaked rumors that Taiwan may be leasing F-15 Eagles from the US in violation of agreements with China

Toss in North Korea and we have ourselves a nice little square dance.

FWIW, when I was in China a couple years ago (at a university since it was a study abroad), I ended up getting pretty chummy with the leader of the College Communists. He was legit a pretty cool dude, all things considered. We went out for karaoke with a bunch of people in our classes, and he got pretty sloshed. He was a happy drunk, but he did say one thing to me, unsolicited, that was chilling:

"You know, Trdl, one day we're gonna get that island back. Dunno when. But it's gonna happen at some point."

What unnerved me was that this wasn't said with any malice or anger. It was matter-of-fact, like this was as obvious as the sun rising in the morning.

So yeah, they're happy to have an excuse.

DAILY BEAST - EXCLUSIVE: Lone DNC Hacker Guccifer 2.0 Slipped Up and Revealed He Was a Russian Intelligence Officer

But on one occasion, The Daily Beast has learned, Guccifer failed to activate the VPN client before logging on. As a result, he left a real, Moscow-based Internet Protocol address in the server logs of an American social media company, according to a source familiar with the governments Guccifer investigation. Twitter and WordPress were Guccifer 2.0s favored outlets. Neither company would comment for this story, and Guccifer did not respond to a direct message on Twitter.

Working off the IP address, U.S. investigators identified Guccifer 2.0 as a particular GRU officer working out of the agencys headquarters on Grizodubovoy Street in Moscow. (The Daily Beasts sources did not disclose which particular officer worked as Guccifer.)

Security firms and declassified U.S. intelligence findings previously identified the GRU as the agency running Fancy Bear, the ten-year-old hacking organization behind the DNC email theft, as well as breaches at NATO, Obamas White House, a French television station, the World Anti-Doping Agency, and countless NGOs, and militaries and civilian agencies in Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus.

USA TODAY - Nine Iranians charged in $3.4 billion cyber theft campaign targeting universities, Justice says

The suspects, all affiliates of an Iranian-based company known as the Mabna Institute, allegedly breached the computer systems of the U.S. Department Labor, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the United Nations and the states of Hawaii and Indiana, federal officials said.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Friday that the suspects allegedly stole more than 31 terabytes of data--about 15 billion pages--from 140 American universities, 30 U.S. companies and five government agencies, while targeting 176 universities abroad.

The stolen information, including academic research in technology, medicine and other sciences, is valued at $3.4 billion, authorities said.

At least 100,000 email accounts held by university professors and researchers were targeted, and about 8,000 of the accounts were compromised.

"For many of these intrusions, the defendants acted at the behest of the Iranian government and, specifically, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps," Rosenstein said.

It's not the Guccifer 2.0 news I expected today, but also this is awkward timing to put Iran on blast like this considering Bolten is about to come on board.

If diGenova does resign, it could actually be a double whammy because according to Fox News.....

3/22/2018
FOX - Victoria Toensing joins husband Joseph diGenova on Trump's legal team in Russia probe

There have been concerns of a potential conflict of interest with diGenova and Toensing representing the president in Muellers investigation, after Toensings representation of former key witnesses in the probe.

Recently, Toensing represented Mark Corallo, an ex-spokesman to former Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz, in his interview with the special counsels team. Toensing also represented Sam Clovis, a 2016 Trump campaign associate who supervised George Papadopoulos, in Clovis' Mueller interview. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty last year to making false statements to the FBI as part of the special counsels probe. Toensing also represented Erik Prince, a former informal adviser to Trump, who allegedly attended a meeting in January 2017 with a Russian investor in Seychelles, that Mueller reportedly is investigating.

But Corallo told Fox News on Thursday there was no conflict of interest.

I signed a waiver acknowledging I see no potential conflicts with their representation of the President, Corallo told Fox News in an email on Thursday, explaining it was a standard waiver of potential conflict.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/22/victoria-toensing-joins-husband-joseph-digenova-on-trumps-legal-team-in-russia-probe.html


You think a husband and wife who are business partners would split ways so hard four days into such a high-profile case? I gotta believe if one goes, both go.

What do you mean? It means the government collects more money on interest from loans.

It also means economic growth is strong enough to support raising that.

It also means, if buying a house or something you better do it before the rates go up.
