https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMhtLDenmd4 (I expect the transcript to eventually
show up on
https://www.rt.com/shows/going-underground/537612-john-bolton-iran-afghanistan/) is
Afshin Rattansi's most recent interview with John Bolton, former US National Security
Advisor. In case you're wondering why Rattansi's Bolton interview isn't repeating
pro-war propaganda and Breaking Points interview is, the difference (in a nutshell)
is objecting to Bolton's framing of issues or "pushback".
Rattansi objects to some of Bolton's descriptions including: pointing out an
assertion from "Mad Dog" Mattis which Bolton makes in his book that Bolton claims to
not remember when it was said (in other words, cast doubt on) (around 12m 40s in the
interview), anti-Iranian sanctions (sanctions are war), anti-Cuban sanctions, and
anti-Venezuelan sanctions and the self-described "president" of Venezuela Juan Guaidó
to name a few examples. There's plenty more from Bolton to object to in this
interview, and I would have liked to see more objection, but it's better than letting
pro-war views go unchallenged and pro-war financial connections go unmentioned.
