Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Source” that President Donald Trump “has effectively surrendered” to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Host Kaitlan Collins said, “You’ve previously said that that you believe Putin sees Trump as what you described as an easy mark. You were there for their first meeting in Helsinki. What are your expectations for this one?”
Bolton said, “Well, I don’t have any expectations anymore. I think we know exactly what’s gonna happen. President Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin before the negotiations have even begun. The positions that Defense Secretary Hegseth announced in Brussels – which I’m sure I’d be stunned if Trump didn’t convey them directly to Putin in their phone call – constitute terms of a settlement that could’ve been written in the Kremlin. Maybe they were written in the Kremlin and got out in propaganda channels. But it’s a complete reversal of the U.S. And NATO position on a number of issues. For example, up until today, the official American position was that Ukraine should be returned to full sovereignty and territorial integrity, that’s gone. The question of nato membership as far back as 2008 had been that ultimately Ukraine would become a NATO member, that doesn’t look like that’s around anymore either. Putin has scored a whole series of victories today.”

Bolton has basically surrendered to insanity.
Bolton received his USAID check
“The positions that Defense Secretary Hegseth announced in Brussels – which I’m sure I’d be stunned if Trump didn’t convey them directly to Putin in their phone call – constitute terms of a settlement that could’ve been written in the Kremlin.”
Bolton is wrong.
One must remember President Trump wants to secure funds to U.S. with rare earth and oil.
John Bolton is a Treasonous Insurrectionist
This guy tag team’s with Rove as worse analysts on the R side.
He’s not even in the loop. He needs to pound sand
Surrender? I thought Ukraine was the one at war with Russia.
Thanks Bolton, as now we rest assured that the exact opposite is true.
Trump is the man of capitulation, of the Sword Dance.
Excellent description. His face annoys me but I couldn’t describe why.
Hope his name comes up in a press conference today.
Hey jb, your irrelevance is showing again.
So he’s decided to be a dick about it...And what a dick he is. A Bolt-on dick. Get your dick on Bolton...you f*ckin’ dick.
somebody found out

*******************************
Our foreign policy position was stupid, a money pit, unattainable, & unrealistic.
So it’s perfectly understandable why the dipshit named John Bolton would support such policies.
What an insufferable jilted woman that man is!
Does anyone actually like this guy?
But if we only spend another trillion dollars and use nuclear weapons, maybe just maybe we can win! Does this explain Bolton real thoughts?
LoL. He is so useless.
