- cmurf 9y agoUnsurprising. He's a gamer in that he looks for ways to create fake red lines that ensure an adversary will cross, and then uses that as casus belli. He's as pro war as you get in D.C. And he's not a negotiator. He knows the consequences of the Iraq war, was one of its architects, and does not care at all about the dead. He still argues that invasion was a good thing. With regard to North Korea, he believes diplomacy is useless and the only “solution” is reunification of the Korean Peninsula — as a free and democratic country. If that is a short-term goal rather than a long-term aspiration, a massive war almost certainly would be necessary. On Iran, he has declared the deal unfixable and advocated for military strikes on Iran. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2018/03/23/reaction-to-bolton-stunned-worried-horrified/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2018/03/2...
