Bolton plays Mr. Mayhem to the world

The Allstate 'Mayhem' commercials may be the best ever. In Allstate's stark warning to consumers to buy Allstate insurance instead of the cheapie brands, horrific accidents ruining people' homes and autos are not accidents but the devilish glee of Mr. Mayhem, the banged up and bandaged monster who plagues peace loving citizens when they least expect him. Mr. Mayhem reminds me of Mr. John Bolton, the scarier, walrus mustachioed super villain who rampages around the world fomenting regime change with sanctions, money for US sponsored revolutionaries or outright murderous bombing and invasion if the subtle means fail. Over four decades Bolton has promoted regime change in Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, Somalia, Yemen, North Korea and Nicaragua.

Mr. Mayhem's dirty works go back to 2010, entertaining us while filling the coffers of super rich Allstate executives. But Bolton's Mr. Mayhem has been promoting death and destruction round the world since the 1980's. His latest targets are three socialist countries in Latin America: Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, who he dubbed last week a "troika of tyranny". He denigrated their respective leaders Miguel Diaz-Canal, Daniel Ortega and Nicolas Maduro as "the three stooges of socialism", whose time in power is running out. Bolton's has a thing for 'troikas of tyranny', reprising his 2002 speech 'Beyond The Axis of Evil' which added Syria, Cuba and Libya to President Bush's 'Axis of Evil' speech countries of North Korea, Iran and Iraq. Bolton was so obsessed with regime change in Cuba back then he concocted a fairy tale Cuba was cooking up biological weapons; an absurdity easily debunked by congressional investigators. Seventeen years on Bolton wants Cuba back on his personal Latin American hit list along with Ortega's Nicaragua and Maduro's Venezuela.

I laugh when Allstate's Mr. Mayhem screws up hapless peoples' lives. I cringe when John Bolton's Mr. Mayhem seeks regime change in all states he despises on the world stage.
