Trump was ordered to hire Bolton from his major bribers at Renaissance Technologies (an AI trading algorithm company founded by war profiteers of the Cold War) who also gave Bolton's personal super PAC millions of dollars.
Trump then tore up the treaties with Russia that was hard worked over decades to safeguard the world from another nuclear arms race, and opening the door to massively arming .
Then Trump dumped him after all the damage was done setting the deck for what happened in .
Neither Trump himself nor the Democrats will ever admit it because Renaissance Technologies was also a major briber to and the DNC.
Any info that they helped direct the Pied Piper Stategy would be quite scandelous given the implications of specifically telling Hillary and the DNC to boost Trump to viability while also majorly funding Trump.
Even this mouthbreather doesn't care for the guy, and I can't say I've ever seen John Bolton doing anything other then bloviating about how we need to blow up some country in the Mid East
A war with Iran, particularly when the US seems intent on stirring the pot with half a dozen other nations globally, would be an absolute clusterfuck for everyone in the region. But the folks who would pay the highest price would always and forever be the Iranians themselves. I would argue that the biggest deterrent in this would be the Saudis, as they host a bunch of our military bases and are extraordinarily vulnerable to retaliation from a nation they desperately need as an ally to stabilize global oil prices.
