the press is predictably lionizing bolton for preventing trump from making "mistakes" in north korea, syria and iran....

i've been clear on this point: i think he had an electoral mandate to withdraw, and he's broken it. bolton has essentially operated as a representative for the deep state, trying to keep the president in line. while it's not clear that his replacement will be better, i can't imagine it being much worse.

john bolton is not an american hero, and doesn't deserve your respect or admiration. john bolton is a war criminal, and he deserves to spend the rest of his life in a jail cell.
