    John Bolton: Not accurate to say 'Trump's behavior somehow deterred the Russians'

    And there it is. Another MAGA myth shattered. Trump saved Ukraine for four years? Trump doesn't even know where Ukraine is, and wasn't for sanctions.

    Yeah but Bolton has already criticized Trump, so he's a traitor.

    Like Barr, Tillerson, Mattis, Wray, Kelly, Krebs, Scaramucci, Cohen, Farah, Cohn....

    Am I forgetting any?

    Phy, Trump is a masterful con artist. His *occupation* is professional con man. Of course, he's going to use smoke and mirrors and anything else to keep people hooked on his every word. That's who he is.

    I have an issue with people that hide other people's dirt until they don't want to hide it anymore. Either stand up for what's right off the top or shut up. Bolton, Barr, McConnell (bad acting theatre after the Capitol riot)...just go. You got paid to keep his secrets until he ditched you. We don't need your "warnings" now.

    So, the people that already know this aren't shocked and this kind of thing is invisible to the ones that worship him. He told us. He could shoot somebody and not lose supporters. Clearly, he was correct.

    Ark, it's easier to list who Trump does NOT hate...


    Himself (and his 6,875 personalities)
    His equally criminal, pathological daughter and her husband (and his father? Is that who Trump pardoned?).
    Putin
    Xi
    10 buckets of KFC



    Seriously, though, if I had been a Trump supporter, it would really bother them at the mass exodus that always surrounds him.

    Exactly. I have zero respect for all of the former Trump rats who write tell-alls after leaving the SS Trumptanic.

    Hilarious stuff...

    This part is the best:

    “The fact is that he barely knew where Ukraine was. He once asked John Kelly, his second chief of staff, if Finland were a part of Russia"

    ^Reminds me of that Scene in "Dog Day Afternoon":

    He did the only thing that was asked of him. We can clean up his mess. He was a good boy.

    I've always agreed with the left about Bolton.

    I've always been that way. My academic advisor in college told me this years ago. He said that a very rich man walked up to a beautiful woman and asked her if she would go to his penthouse with him for $1,000,000. The woman looked at the man she was with and told the offeror that she would go with him to his penthouse for the night. As they walked away, arm in arm, he told her that he had adjusted the price and would only give her $100. She stopped abruptly, slapped his face and, in umbrage demanded "What kind of woman do you think I am?" to which he replied "We've already established that. We're just negotiating pricing now."

    So, I will never, ever, ever spend one penny on these "let me tell you all the sh!t I shouldn't haven't kept secret in the first damn place" books. Every single one of them could be the absolute truth and I don't care. Too late. Like that hypothetical woman, we know what kind of "ethics" all of them lacked before the publishers came a'knockin'.

    Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the US who ever had to pass an 8th grade world geography class. They don't even generically know which part of which continent to go looking?

    Snotloller so essentially your articles source is claiming, “Yes the trump administration was hard on Russia but the guy who had the FINAL DECISION didn’t want to do it. But he did it anyway”

    Do you understand how ridiculous that argument is?

    That’s tantamount to saying, “Yes Lincoln freed the slaves but he didn’t WANT to do it... so he doesn’t get any credit for it.”

    Lol so incredibly stupid

    Trumps behavior clearly deterred Russia. You simply have the opinion of someone whom doesn’t actually matter. People see through this propaganda. Fact is, Trump had us closer to world peace, and Brandon has us closer to nuclear war.

    And the writers logic doesn’t actually make sense but I am not surprised to see a knee jerk thread created after blindly accepting the logic, or lack there of.

    It is, it’s just not the truth you think it is. He literally admits that Trump’s actions deterred Russia in this article, but just says “but not really”. The truth is people are seeing right through this propaganda of the left.

    Bolton wanted America to invade Iran. Bolton has wanted this for decades. Are you a Bolton fan?

    Absolutely not.

    Bolton is an incompetent, dangerous person.

    No wonder Trump hired him.

    Ark, have you ever wondered why they don't wonder why everyone is either "the very best" or "completely incompetent"? There are no employees somewhere along that spectrum in Trump's Imaginary Employment Utopia? Had I been a supporter, his revolving door or mass exodus would be a neon burning red flag.

    While Brandonistas are furiously attempting to deflect attention and criticism from the failure they elected, the fact remains that Putin did NOT invade Ukraine while the man who made Lefties cry for depriving them of power was president.

    On the other hand, Putin DID invade Ukraine during the failed Obama Administration and Putin invaded Ukraine AGAIN during the failing Biden Administration.

    Putin couldn't have possibly hoped for a weaker and more useful idiot in the White House than the one he has now...

    I'm not the best with geography but I can identify most places on a map or globe. I also know how to count money without a cash register or calculator (I've met some cashiers that had meltdowns when the register malfunctioned) and can measure ingredients in recipes without measuring cups and spoons. I'm not even sure how ANYONE can graduate high school or matriculate without these basic skills.

    Have you ever seen Nate Bargatze? He's a stand-up comedian. I couldn't find the clip but I recall that he talked about being a really bad student and that he learned about his states (Tennessee) and the ones that touched his in case a civil war broke out. He's really funny.

    His country's economy is collapsing.

    All our allies are behind Biden.

    Within a year, Putin is no longer the head of Russia.

    Mark my words.
