John Bolton has long seen Islam for what it is in the world today.
He is not a “They are the Religion of Peace” person.
Something someone said on another thread rings true. As someone who spent his entire life in construction, Trump is project oriented, which means at the close of a project, the team is released and then move on to another project. Some will not move on and will be let go.
All of these hirings and firings fits perfectly into Trump’s modus operandi. Everyone he has hired, and we questioned many of them served a specific purpose. McMaster’s role as I saw it was to profile everyone involved in the national security apparatus so the administration knew what they had to work with. That done, McMaster was released.
Some say he was the leaker. I submit that he was instructed to leak the Trump/Putin call for the purpose of transparency. My guess is Kelly told him to do it at the behest of Trump.
So, what purpose does Bolton serve? As several here pointed out, Bolton is a war mongering neocon who will get us into a war at the soonest time possible. I disagree. With a middle east still in a state of chaos, Bolton’s appointment might make the Syrians, Palis and other Muzzy nations and groups think twice about harming the US when the embassy moves to Jerusalem. It also might make China realize that we are not going to back down and let them expand their military throughout the world.
Trump is using Bolton’s reputation as a valuable tool to prevent war, not get us into one. That’s the genius of Trump.
