Ever notice that everyone Trump hired and worked with in the WH came away from it saying he was either retarded, dangerous, or severely incompetent in some way or another?
Now the only people defending him are bloviating idiots like this host.

>even Bolton's flipping now
So progressives are for endless war in the Middle East, now? Odd that..
>TUCKER CARLSON: So you've called for regime change in Iraq, Libya, Iran and Syria. In the first two countries, we've had regime change, and obviously it's been, I'd say disaster, I think we agree.
>JOHN BOLTON: No, I don't agree with that. And let me --
>CARLSON: You don't think it's been a disaster?
>BOLTON: No, I think you need to understand --
>CARLSON: Yes.
>BOLTON: Is that life is complicated in the Middle East. And when you say, well, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein was a mistake is simplistic.
>CARLSON: I would argue that I'm the one who understands how complicated it is, but it's just my view.
>BOLTON: It's your long experience in foreign policy, I know.
>CARLSON: Better record than yours, I would say.
warmonger scottie dog btfo
the only thing bolton has allegiance to is the state and defense contractors
John Bolton calling out Trump on "not understanding international affairs" is such a black and kettle moment. Well Bolton does get it, his ideals are just garbage.
>Newsmax
Trump cutting a deal with the taliban to pull out of Afghanistan good. Biden pulling out of Afghanistan bad
>Bolton
Pulling out of Afghanistan bad and it was Trump's idea
That clear it up, retard
He's right about the Saddam point, though. The early years of the Iraq occupation were a shitshow because the neocons got sidelined in favor of realist "light occupation" strategies. They didn't want to nation build, or do what was necessary because it was hard. The country descended into anarchy and civil war until the neocon nation builders were listened to, that American strategy had to change entirely to end the civil war and defeat the insurgency. The policy they came up with was the Surge, which not only included more US troops, but also fractured the Sunni militia's to turn on AQ and help police the country.
calm down John
Are you this retarded?
Lmao based response
>He's right about the Saddam point, though
lol
>install puppet dictator
>dictator gets big enough to ignore your influence
>take out your own plant like some spoiled child
Lot of Bolton nuthuggers ITT
I don't love Bolton, but he has a spine, I'll give him that.
Installing Saddam to begin with was the original mistake.
You can't say that the Iraq war was immoral and at the same time be arguing that installing Saddam was also immoral, since the war was specifically to remove him from power, yet this argument was made unironically by the anti war left all through the 00s.
are you retarded? the point is madam should have ben left alone. we unleashed a migrant crisis on Europe so a Bush blood feud could be settled instigated by lies before congress about weapons of mass destruction.
Shit your right so instead you made iranian puppet state lol
>. we unleashed a migrant crisis on Europe
No, the migrant crisis happened later on from Libya, and a lot of them aren't even Middle Eastern but coming up from Africa through the middle east after.
The Iraq war didn't create a migrant crisis for Europe, and also not every country decided to be dumb enough to let them in. Saudi Arabia took in zero 'refugees', Poland and the baltics took very few as well.

Didn't read
The Iraq we left behind is better than the Iraq we went into by miles. Was it worth it? Debatable.
How bad is the /k/ nigger infection on this board Holy shit literal jew lover is being sucked off
No he fucking doesn't. It takes absolutely no spine whatsoever to constantly call for wars while knowing you will never, ever have to serve or sacrifice anything. Bolton is an example of one of the worst parasitical human beings to ever exist.
>Cheney good
>Bolton good
>Ukraine quagmire good
Hey Bro lefty here was in coma since 2007. We are still antiwar pro american jobs right?
Bolton is a fucking retard with a vastly exaggerated understanding both of American strength and of our own foreign policy goals.
WHY was our involvement in Iraq necessary? You can't say it was because of 9/11, because in 1996 there was a Joint Resolution of Congress that made regime change in Iraq official US Foreign Policy. Why? Can John Bolton answer this?
No, he can't, because then he would have to admit that it's because AIPAC demanded it. Instantly, nothing he says is or can be of relevance because he is FOR A FACT lying.
Why was making a deal with the Afghani insurgents to preserve the provisional government while allowing us to withdraw a bad idea? It wasn't. It was a GOOD idea. What Joe Biden did was BETRAY the terms of the agreement. This is not my opinion or a conspiracy theory, it is objectively what happened.
No, cutlureless shit-tooth, you are not allowed to unilaterally violate a peace accord YOU signed because you want to withdraw on a special day months after the agreed departure time--and if you do that, you're going to get fucking humiliated, which is what already happened.
There are other things to consider besides just saddam. After Iraq was stable going in did cause a lot of havoc.
desu he has a fucking point. Trump brought the troop count down to under 2000 BEFORE leaving office, so there wasn't enough troops for a proper withdrawal. and he was scrambling the whole time trying to make due on leaving because it was a campaign promise he was using specifically to help with reelection, hence why he pushed it off. Bolton is a ghoul, but he knows what he's talking about. personally, i'm glad we withdrew and wish we did it sooner even if it was more of a mess. there was never going to be a proper withdrawal because the whole thing was a house of cards the DOD created. it was their little money pit to play with, and making it appear stronger than it ever was kept their money pit alive for 2 decades promising a brighter future just right over the horizon.
>and he was scrambling the whole time trying to make due on leaving because it was a campaign promise he was using specifically to help with reelection, hence why he pushed it off.
I don't know how anyone ignores this obvious point.
