The American with the best foreign policy resume is now the national security advisor. This makes so much sense it is blowing the minds of leftists.

It’s the opposite of their strategy of appointing the least qualified lol.

Bolton doesn't have the best foreign policy resume by a long shot.

He's also literally everything that Trump supporters have claimed to hate during the election - a card-carrying neo-con who pushed for the war in Iraq, our involvement in Libya, etc.

Hell, criticizing Hillary for being hawkish and overly interventionist is one of the few Trump talking points I've always agreed with.

Let’s see what actually happens prior to jumping on conclusions. @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson I am not jumping to conclusions - simply evaluating the man's record and career. We all should be worried, especially anyone who voted for Trump's purported non-interventionist foreign policy bent.

Haven’t seen an nvasion yet. Let me know when one occurs. @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson I'd rather people be more concerned about this now, before something of that sort occurs.

Bush himself said that the Iraq war was a "big mistake", but Bolton is still an unapologetic cheerleader. Dude has a screw loose.

What matters is what happens from now going forward. We are in good hands with Bolton. @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson What do you base this on?

jackjjackson · M

The past is over so that doesn’t matter. Bolton has a lot of experience and a good knowledge base. Iran and NK know he won’t be pushed around aka isn’t a pussy. @QuixoticSoul

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@jackjjackson But that experience, and knowledge base, and patterns of behavior are... in the past. You're still using the past to project the future - just omitting the parts where he was a crazed lunatic who repeatedly fucked up and said a bunch of crazy shit.

jackjjackson · M

I see. You’re opened minded and prefer name calling to looking at facts. Who is your preference? @QuixoticSoul

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@jackjjackson I don't think it's name calling if it's accurate. And I would have preferred McMaster had not been forced out.

jackjjackson · M

Nothing the matter with McMaster either. Your generalities are name calling not fact. @QuixoticSoul

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@jackjjackson Bolton and McMaster are polar opposites. If you think McMaster is a good choice, Bolton should appear insane.

-takes a look at Bolton's career and various stances-

Nah, accurate enough.
