John Bolton Axis of Evil

Gringo180

One of the most dangerous men on the planet has been fired by Donald Trump.

Lets hope this crazed Neo-Con warmonger never and I mean ever gets such a high profile job within the US Government.

James Brown

He says he resigned and Trump tweeted he fired him before Bolton was to make an announcement to press.
Good he's gone though.

BDI

Love him or hate him you can’t stop talking about him.........:::::: donalllllllllllllld trump

So Is this Bolton fella still the most dangerous man on the planet or is he safe now that he doesn’t work with trump.

Will the guy that takes his job become more dangerouser than him?

Quantum Erasure

from wikipedia

Appearing on Fox News' Fox and Friends on December 1, 2016, Bolton admitted he was being considered as a Secretary of State candidate for the incoming Trump administration.[151][152] Several Trump associates claim Bolton was not chosen, in part, due to Trump's disdain for Bolton's signature mustache

I'm just glad he's gone. The amount of blood on that mans hands

He is an evil nasty man who is an absolute warmonger. Had the Hitler moustache to boot.

I doubt Trump by himself had the brains to fire him, but probably put a proverbial gun to Bolton's head +bottle of JD and told him to resign, then tweeted that he had been sacked before Bolton got a chance.

I am probably raving mad here, but what the heck, who cares how it was done, Bolton is gone, he was some nasty piece of work.

Who will replace him now?

you are raving.
But we can agree that Bolton was a maniac and it's good he is gone.

Interestingly this is one thing the pro and anti trump sides should agree on.
Right or Left everybody hates Bolton

That's fairly accurate. I don't even think the neocons like him.

Reading between the lines does this mean any change to US stance versus Iran; or do we just think this is a personality clash \ pogonophobia?

Swear i read somwhere Bolton and Pompeo had a falling out over the Taliban deal?

As Trump and Pompeo wanted to get the deal done, Bolton was going to recieve the chop eventually.

They are all neocons in the Trump administration anyhow. Nothing will chance, here. Israel still allowed to do what it likes in the Middle East and Trump will support them.

Trump is likely smarter than you.

Was a mostly tongue in cheek post.

As I said, it doesn't matter how it was achieved, Bolton is gone now.

I wonder who will replace him now?

Surely whoever replaces him can not be as bad as him and it will take whoever does a long time to have as much blood on there hands as that nasty man has on his. Not that anyone would want to beat that. I think Bolton was just a war hungry monger who did not seem to care how many people were or what countries he was destroying. Now all we need is for Trump to go.

Trump Thumping Bolton is a Good Start

Donald Trump finally fired National Security Adviser and all-around disgraceful human being John Bolton.

Good riddance.

Bolton was a diversity hire by Trump. His allegiance to the Israeli Firsters who helped get Trump into power, namely Sheldon Adelson, got him the job.

<snip>

This is what Bolton and the Neocons have done for Trump’s presidency, reduced it to a clown show where no one listens to the American President anymore because he’s irrelevant.

But the maximum pressure policy has done none of these things save make Trump look like an unstable lunatic and strengthen the resolve of the U.S.’s opposition.

<snip>
It’s clear Trump made this move for re-election purposes. Bolton was a liability. If more heads don’t roll after three years of foreign policy blunders of epic proportions Trump’s second term will look just like his first, a shambolic mess long on bravado and short on consistency.

The Neocons who are the architects of the current middle east destabilisation should have been frogmarched out of Washington in 2006 when it was clear they had lost the Iraq war. Trump giving them a way back through Bolton was a real bad decision, at least Trump does not have the instinct to go for another shooting war and that's to his credit. Question is who replaces Bolton and will Mike Pompeo (Secretary of State) get the road?

TommyKnocker

Mike Pompeo is every bit the hawk that Bolton is so don't expect much to change tbh

I literally love that the biggest 'personality' on Fox News Tucker Carlson is relentlessly anti war. You can look up the actual full interview he did with John Bolton. He made absolute sh1t of him. And Tucker Carlson presses the point how they should have a non warmonger neocon as Foreign Secretary. Not exactly a radical idea. People like John Bolton are actually anti American.

It's more powerful because this is coming from Fox News. It makes me feel hopeful about the future.

Why was he there in the first place.

Considering his well known penchant for war mongering, he was an odd choice for an anti-interventionist president.

I'm sure the Leftist media will find a way to spin this as a bad move from Trump.
