Watch: John Bolton Calls For Putin Assassination, Regime Change

Via ZeroHedge

Former White House national security adviser John Bolton is now taking to the networks to call for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s assassination. “I think we should make it clear publicly so that not just Putin but that all the top Russian leadership… that if Putin authorizes the use of a nuclear weapon he’s signing his own suicide note,” the well-known neocon hawk said to CBS in a Friday appearance.

Describing that Putin is head of command and control for all Russian – including nuclear – forces, Bolton continued by stating what he says should be official US policy: “He’s a legitimate military target… he needs to know that he’s on our target list at this point.” Bolton essentially called for the US to assassinate the Russian leader if the opportunity ever arises.

Bolton went on the discuss an op-ed he penned days prior in the online military journal 1945 wherein effecting regime change in Russia was the focus.

“There is no long-term prospect for peace and security in Europe without regime change in Russia. Russians are already discussing it, quietly, for obvious reasons. For the United States and others pretending that the issue is not before will do far more harm than good,” Bolton spelled out in that op-ed.

“To avoid the war simply grinding along indefinitely, we must alter today’s calculus. Carefully assisting Russian dissidents to pursue regime change might just be the answer, he continued. “Russia is, obviously, a nuclear power, but that is no more an argument against seeking regime change than against assisting Ukrainian self-defense.”

Bolton advocated a color revolution-style overthrow, or efforts to fragment the government from the inside, writing:

Actually effecting regime change is doubtless the hardest problem, but it does not require foreign military forces. The key is for Russians themselves to exacerbate divisions among those with real authority, the siloviki, the “men of power.” Disagreements and animosities already exist, as in all authoritarian regimes, exploitable as dissidents set their minds to it.  Boris Yeltsin standing on a tank outside the Russian White House in 1991 evidenced the fracturing of the Soviet ruling class. Once regime coherence and solidarity shatter, change is possible.

The ultra-provocative call for regime change from so visible a former government official as Bolton is sure to catch the attention of Moscow, also at a moment tensions are at boiling point with President Biden’s nuclear “Armageddon” remarks which also surprised and angered the Kremlin.

Is such planning irrational considering the highly provocative and what we used to consider wantonly reckless statements from the most powerful country…the one that has precipitated so many military/covert actions through the decades?

Elliott Abrams is an American politician and lawyer, who has served in foreign policy positions for presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. Abrams is considered to be a neoconservative. He is currently a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.

It’s no secret that the West is trying to overthrow the Russian government – John Bolton was just saying it out loud

That this state of affairs has been a top Anglo-American objective for some time is very clear. While Bolton’s comments elicited enormous amounts of mainstream attention, a report published in June this year, which spelled out in even greater detail how the conflict could facilitate fulfilment of that long-standing goal, passed by unacknowledged…

British shenanigans

Produced by the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), a hardline pressure group with very close ties to the government and the ruling Conservative party, the report asked: Opposition in Russia to the Invasion of Ukraine: How Much of a Threat is it to Putin’s Regime?…

It demands that the G7 group of countries “declare as its goal Ukraine’s military defeat of Russia and the return of occupied territories and provide extensive military equipment and training until this goal is achieved…

Western governments were, moreover, invited to “encourage the defection of Russian state officials” and military officers, “who would be provided with asylum in the country of their choice in exchange for insider information” that could be used in future international criminal prosecutions of Putin and of other ministers.

That the HJS’s research was primarily concerned with exploring means of regime change is amply underlined by numerous sections referencing Ukraine’s “Orange Revolution,” and the 2014 Euromaidan coup.

The experience of these ousters led the pressure group to consider it of utmost importance to build infrastructure on the ground in Russia – “it was precisely such broad coalitions that were successful in opposing the authorities” and in overthrowing troublesome governments in Kiev in 2004 and 2014, it approvingly notes.

Bolton was a supporter of the Vietnam War,[33] but avoided combat through a student deferment followed by enlistment in the Maryland Air National Guard.[29][34][35] During the 1969 Vietnam War draft lottery, Bolton drew number 185. (Draft numbers were assigned by birth date. Numbers 1 to 195 were eventually called up.)[36] As a result of the Johnson and Nixon administrations’ decisions to rely largely on the draft rather than on the reserve forces, joining a Guard or Reserve unit became a way to reduce the chances of service in Vietnam.[37] Before graduating from Yale in 1970, Bolton enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard rather than waiting to find out if his draft number would be called.[31]: 11 [38][39] He attended Active Duty for Training (ADT) at Fort Polk, Louisiana, from July to November 1970.[31]: 11  After serving in the National Guard for four years, he served in the United States Army Reserve until the end of his enlistment two years later.[7]

He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book: “I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost.”
From his wiki page, this coward wouldn’t go fight for his country when he was young but has no problem to send young men to their death now that he is old. F.Y. John

“Bones” is right….

The Skull and Bones Society has been active at Yale University for more than 150 years. It was founded in 1832 by William Russell and Alphonso Taft. It has also been known by the names Chapter 322, The Order, Bones, or the Brotherhood of Death. There is some who claim that the Skull and Bones Society is an offshoot of a secret German university society whom had fascist and communist bent…

Many of the Skull and Bones Society members also have memberships in other covert organizations as mentioned above. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) claims to be dedicated to increasing America’s understanding of the world and contributing ideas to U.S. Foreign Policy…

A few of the CFR members are: Katherine Harris, Herbert Hoover, Jimmy Carter, Richard V. Allen, Dick Cheney, William F. Buckley, Jr., John Bolton, Jack Kemp, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Robert S. McNamara, Alan Greenspan, John Kerry, Henry Kissinger, Newt Gingrich, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Anne Garrels, Timothy F. Geithner, Lyman Lemnitzer, Richard Nixon, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleezza Rice, Collin Powell, Dan Rather, and David Rockefeller.
