I think you underestimate just how bad Bolton aka The mustache of death is. This is a great thing in regards to foreign policy anyway.
Perhaps. But it makes President Trump look wishy washy and unsure of himself.
Frankly, it looks awful in the context of President Trump (without consulting anybody) abruptly withdrawing from the so-called peace negotiations with the Taliban.
Maybe to you. The understanding that I have is that the entire purpose of the meeting was for Trump to look the players directly in their eyes in order to size everyone up. There was never any other purpose for these meetings as the two opposing sides were never scheduled to meet each other. For them to meet would have meant that there was something already on the table.
And yeah, good riddance JB. Trump gets credit for being willing to listen to all sides however ... that is what good leaders do.
The Chinese are to the West as the settlers were to the natives who sold them New York for $24 in beads ...
I found it kurtster. Please explain the above.
The Chinese view us as gullible and extremely foolish and have no problem in taking advantage of us. They are playing the long game and we are playing a very short game and will accept meaningless promises (shiny objects) to make our constituencies immediately, albeit temporarily, happy. Chinese smart, West stupid. Or something to that effect.
And it was working very well until Trump showed up.

.... because Bolton was too hawkish. Amusing in light of the decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem. How many dead Americans was that decision worth?
That was Trump's 3rd national security adviser. Who will be the forth?

If my math is correct this is post # 13379 in this thread.
Wow. This man has rented a lot of space in so many people's heads for free. 1.
At least one of us sleeps well at night. 2.
1. So true.
2. While counting dead US soldiers in Afghanistan? Sweet dreams!
I know right? After 15 years all the sudden Trump decides he wants to send troops to Afghanistan, that is some crazy stuff right there. It just seems like we have been there for much more than 2 and half years but I guess time flies or not or something. If only we could elect some peace loving Presidents like Obama or Bush or something or something.
Trump's reputation and ego are worth how many dead Americans? Two, 20, 300?
This aside from the notion that the USA should never have invaded and occupied Afghanistan in the first place.

. Holes poked in CNN report blaming Trump for alarm that led to extraction of Kremlin informant . Hours after CNN reported Trump's handling of classified information was the inciting incident leading to this spy's extraction, a follow-up story from the New York Times cited sources who insisted media scrutiny aloneis what jeopardized the safety of this source. . CIA spokeswoman Brittany Bramell said, "CNN's narrative that the Central Intelligence Agency makes life-or-death decisions based on anything other than objective analysis and sound collection is simply false. Misguided speculation that the President's handling of our nation's most sensitive intelligence — which he has access to each and every day — drove an alleged exfiltration operation is inaccurate.” . Earlier in the day Stephanie Grisham, the White House press secretary, said, “CNN's reporting is not only incorrect, it has the potential to put lives in danger.” .

And how many of those posts are yours? No answer needed.
Trump is President. Being President means being subject to intense scrutiny of every word spoken (or tweeted) and every action taken. That always is true. What is different now is that we have our first Reality TV President. His histrionics concern people â rightfully so. If he is not an unhinged occupant of the Oval Office, he plays one on TV and Twitter. It is quite rational to be concerned.
