John Bolton says Trump wouldn't have stood in Putin's way if a Russian invasion of Ukraine had happened during his term
MSN / Business Insider ^ | 3.1.2022 | Cheryl Teh

"Well, I'm not sure he would have done much of anything, frankly," Bolton said in an interview with Vice published March 1, responding to a question about what Trump might have done had Russia attacked Ukraine while he was president.

"But you never know with Trump. It depends on what time of day it is, it depends on what he thought his political benefit would be at any given moment. I don't think ultimately he would have stood in Putin's way," Bolton told Vice.

Bolton said he thought Trump's glorification of Putin was "embarrassing for the United States." He also said that he did not think that Trump cared about Ukraine in the first place.

"It's hard for me to describe how little he knows," Bolton said in the interview with Vice.

"When you're operating on such a poor understanding of the circumstances you're talking about, ultimately, your opinions have to be totally unsound," Bolton added. "And ultimately reality triumphs, and these opinions are seen for the flimsy and twisted thoughts that they really are."

In the same interview, Bolton criticized Trump for his lack of understanding of "what the stakes were in Ukraine."

Bolton is a bitter has been.

The fact is Trump already has stood in Putin’s way. It was Trump who sent anti-tank missiles to Ukraine instead of just blankets like Obama did. Trump sent over a billion dollars of lethal aid to Ukraine.

Bolton is trying to stay relevant. It’s like he thinks people even remember who he is anymore. Loser.

So says the joker who suffers from erectile dysfunction. (He only gets a boner when there is war, or talk thereof.)

Probably great for him. Not so much for the publisher. Financially.

False premise right from the start. Trump would not need to stand in poot’s way because poot wouldn’t have dared to invade, and Trump would have negotiated a better deal for everyone all around so as to preclude it.

Shave the mustache and change your name and maybe sex too, before appearing on CNN again.

Based on Trump’s America first policy and what went on in Syria, I would agree with Bolton.

Pootie could not have done this under Trump. We were energy independent. Biden financed and continues financing Pootie’s war.

He's not sure of much of anything. Typical disgruntled self proclaimed expert.
