Summary

John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser, warned that a second Trump term could lead to a higher risk of major international crises due to Trump’s lack of focus, knowledge, and coherent strategy in foreign policy.

Bolton criticized Trump’s reliance on personal relationships with authoritarian leaders, disregard for national security briefings, and impulsive decision-making.

He expressed concern about Trump’s approach to Ukraine and NATO, calling it dangerous.

Bolton argued Trump’s isolationist tendencies deviate from traditional Republican foreign policy and could cause significant global and domestic instability if re-elected.

John Bolton is correct AND should have a pineapple jammed up his ass.

[-] sndmn@lemmy.ca 5 points 18 hours ago

I vote for a cactus instead of a pineapple.

I would suggest an umbrella instead, but agree with you on that here, he is right.

Just as a stopped clock shows the correct time twice a day

I mean yeah, a major international crisis is completely expected IMO. You get what you vote for (or in the case of many Americans, don't vote for)

He can be correct on this observation and an asshole at the same time.

Oh, I wasn't referring to anything in the article specifically. I just wanted to say "fuck John Bolton"

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

John Bolton is just pissed he won't be the one instigating it.

Don't worry. There's going to be a ton of scorned political figures this time around. Even more than last time. Every single sycophant around Trump is going to be trying to be the head boot licker. The under cutting and in fighting is going to be the only thing (outside of the military) preventing Trump from bacoming a dictator.

Gee, you think so? He's not even in office yet and already wants to annex multiple countries.

“If re-elected”?

Did they manage to interview this guy while he was out shopping for his Halloween costume?
