John Bolton

Bullshit  I never heard him saying anything like that, and the way the conversation goes doesn't sound real. You know, he makes up a lot of conversations where people are always calling him “Sir.” You know, maybe his subordinates are calling him sir, because that’s the right thing to do. But foreign leaders don’t call him sir. They either call him Mr. President or Donald, number one. … But number two, the fact that it’s an imag- inary conversation that makes Trump look very good — as all of Trump’s imagined conversations do — doesn’t mean that he doesn’t believe what he’s saying.

Iraq Packers say Iraq's inherent defects as an artificial nation may yet bring it to grief, but not because of the US-led invasion. … And, in any event, the issue was never about making life better for Iraqis, but about ensuring a safer life for America and its allies. John Bolton © 2015 Kwiple.com

Snapshot The joke goes that Mr Bolton never met a war he did not like. That may be an understatement. Mr Trump's new national security adviser rarely sees a peaceful entanglement that could not be improved by artillery. John Bolton portrayed by Edward Luce © 2018 Kwiple.com
Snapshot Mr Bolton has no patience for US democracy promotion, which gels with Mr Trump's worldview. Contrary to popular opinion, Mr Bolton is not a neoconservative. Neocons believe US values should be universal. Mr Bolton believes in aggressive promotion of the US national interest, which is quite different. John Bolton portrayed by Edward Luce © 2018 Kwiple.com
