By sacking John Bolton, Donald Trump intends to manage the Iran issue in his own way.
John Bolton and his battling mustache never sought to please. It's the neo-conservative you go to war that we like to hate. Its fall is part of the joys of the return. In addition, Donald Trump fired him without warning and without care: the joy is redoubled.
Those who laugh the hardest as if they themselves had shaved the mustache of the Councilor are the Chavists who put four million Venezuelans at the door of their country, the Taliban who still repugnant to denounce terrorism 18 years after the 11 September or the North Koreans.
A man who is treated with human waste by Kim Jong Un can not be entirely bad.
The height is the lesson that the Iranian leaders draw from this dismissal. According to Tehran, the dismissal of Bolton is "the clear sign of the defeat of the American strategy of maximum pressure against Iran".
They are wrong. Bolton would have preferred to bomb them to prevent them from having the bomb. "The maximum pressure" is Donald Trump's whole strategy! Tighten the opponent's throat while smiling in the picture. This is what he does with the North Korean, the Taliban as with the Iranians.
This Wednesday, he reinforced the sanctions against Tehran and said he was ready to meet the Iranian President at the UN in a fortnight.
