Yes, John Bolton Really Is That Dangerous
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/23/opinion/john-bolton-trump-national-security-adviser.htmlYes, John Bolton Really Is That Dangerous
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD | MARCH 23, 2018
The good thing about John Bolton, President Trumps new national security adviser, is that he says what he thinks.
The bad thing is what he thinks.
There are few people more likely than Mr. Bolton is to lead the country into war. His selection is a decision that is as alarming as any Mr. Trump has made so far.
Coupled with his nomination of the hard-line C.I.A. director, Mike Pompeo, as secretary of state, Mr. Trump is indulging his worst nationalistic instincts. Mr. Bolton, in particular, believes the United States can do what it wants without regard to international law, treaties or the political commitments of previous administrations.
