What is the true story behind John Bolton's sacking? | DW News

In Washington, speculation is rife that President Donald Trump's firing of his national security adviser John Bolton could signal a shift in US foreign policy. Announcing the latest White House sacking on Twitter, the president said that he "disagreed strongly with Bolton on many issues". Bolton is a 'falcon' hardliner on US foreign policy. Bolton gave a different version of events, saying he'd offered his resignation.

American forgein policy must reflect the best interest of the United States of America not that of an apartheid state of Israel.

Warmongering hypo rite. Bolton said during the Vietnam War" "I don't agree with this war and refuse to die in a ricefield in Southeast Asia". He has no trouble sending others to die however.

Bolton was the main orchestrator of the Iraq war. Wanna hear a joke. This is just a drama because Trump is aware of Bolton before hiring him. Hhehehehe.

America's foreign policy is simple. "What do they have that we want?"

If Trump said 2 plus 2 made 4, and Bolton said 2 plus 2 made 5, I would not know who to believe...


Trump treats his senior staff like hookers: a brief and not particularly satisfying encounter with one, and then move on to the next.
