Putin is smart, and Bolton, you're not. That scares me.

[lovejon]

John Bolton is not smart and that truly worries me more and more.

[СергейКонтратьев-эщ]

"Putin is smart, and that worries me". Of course it was better for you when it was drunk Yeltsin in Russia, right?

[suhabsustar]

so a president being "smart" is somehow a threat to America is what your saying

[theshadowman]

Go away neo con Bolton, unlike you Trump isn't interested in continuous conflict for no good reason.

[margaretdownie-shultz]

WHY CAN'T BOLTON BE SWEET AND STOP WANTING TO FIGHT  WITH RUSSIA--THEY ARE'Y LOOKING TO FIGHT!!   WE LOVE PUTIN

[mielerodriguez]

Its not a ploy. Its acting like an adult.

[peskenis]

Well, it's not hard to outsmart Obama. Not at all.

[SamLamsTopThankyoueveryone]

Why shouldn't Russians invite diplomats and their families to Christmas party? It's called a good gesture of a good host America. Why so paranoid?

[skipperrussell]

John Bolton is insane, and that worries me!

[Bigbrotheriswatchingus]

Well John, Putin is what a real leader looks and acts like...

[franktranks]

Putin is more than smart... He's incredibly intelligent. No doubt he's a genius. It isn't good to have an enemy as smart as Putin. We're in trouble.

[rohzpopper]

Of course, he's smart. An xKGB officer.
The best, logical, humble, down to earth officer, and a tough bad ass best president in the world right now.Women adores him.

[srininaidoo]

Putin plays Chess and Bolton plays Checkers
Don't you Americans know anything about diplomacy. It requires respect and decency as Putin demonstrates.
Take a lesson.

To prevent future attacks you need to get yourself better IT security. Simple like that. Time to go back to school.
