'People better believe it' when Trump threatens to get out of NATO, says John Bolton

John Bolton describing himself as moderate is hilarious.

[lrlong]

Bolton does not deserve a platform.

If he cared about this country he would’ve spoke up sooner.

[LISE]

Bolton could’ve made a difference, but he chose his book over US

[tina-gh]

Not only should we, but we need to get out of the UN too !!!

[redminus]

7:45 Stifled laughter in the studio as Bolton calls himself "a very moderate guy" right after insisting on striking Iran

Only one member has ever invoked the mutual defence clause in the NATO treaty that that was the USA after 9-11
The result was NATO members stepped up to the plate. RAF Tornados were taking out runways right at the start of the action VC10 tankers were refueling US Navy and other coalition aircraft, RN ships and Lynx helicopters and Royal Marines taking out assorted attack craft in the Persian Gulf.
British Army infantry AFV and the mighty Challenger tanks fought hard in the dessert, not forgetting air sea and ground transport and logistics

Of course he'll pull out of NATO, NATO's the one army his boss knows he can't defeat

[mches]

Like the EU..NATO is out of control....

[stephenrichards]

I hope he gets the US out of the UN as well

[garydare]

NATO has proven to be there for the US, after 9/11. I was at the old Motorola suburban HQ when 2 F-16's intercepted and escorted a United flight to O'Hare after a disturbed man tried to get into the cockpit, the windows were rattling when they screamed by; the jets were from Norway. Canadian Coast Guard extended their patrols all the way down to Florida and California, British and French navies parked offshore while even Japan (not a NATO member) was offshore in the West.

Did Bolten just say he’s a moderate😂😂 what a crazy guy who has never seen a war he doesn’t love

[spiceyhotpot]

I agree with Bolton, Dump is ignorant especially about international affairs.

[woolyhighlander]

You can just see the Disdain on this News womans face, she is far too "Biased" to be a news caster ! Sick!

[williamclayton]

"threatens" to get out of NATO ? ! ? ! ? ! ? !
You say that like it's a BAD thing.

[gerritstegeman]

So far, we - NATO- needed US approval of using nuclear weapons, the USA were our custodians. When the US is pulling out of NATO, we have to rely on "ourselves" and any conflict with Russia will have s strong "nuclear" smell of threat. I realize that very well. Also Putin will KNOW that NATO without the USA will have a firm Nuclear capacity, next to conventional - which I prefer of course. I am a retired Nato Staff Officer and have been posted on several jobs around Europe and the Middle East, including being involved in those strategies. I'm completely fed up with the hollow threat of Trump. Let the USA elect their "JESUS" for president and isolate themselves on their continent. Europe AND NATO-Europe can mow their own lawn, especially since the recent contribution in joining Finland and Sweden. Whenever the USA is experiencing a new 9/11 type of thing, or Pearl Harbor type of happening, DONT CALL US!!! We THEN are too busy in mowing our

Even Bolton, a war monger, seems normal when compared to rotten orange.

[rogerbarrett]

If it comes to help if America is in difficulty militarily, Europe will and have been there diplomatically and militarily. We in the UK remember when the USA turned up for a global war 2 years late! Incidentally, if tRump is ever on fire I would not waste my urine on him.

[jamesfischer]

Getting out of nato is a great 👍 thing!!! Trump 2024 baby ❤🎉😊!!!

[peterlederer]

Needs to also come out of United Nations, WEF, and WHO, and their controlling dictate

[lindaSmith]

EU has supported Ukraine more than US when you add financial aid and weapons. However, given our stockpile, weapons from US is key!
