ambassador John Bolton: Trump should take back NATO remarks (http://thehill.com/policy/defense/288773-ex-ambassador-says-trump-should-take-back-nato-remarks)

Russian fear mongering from a Zionist whom wants to bomb Iran.


"If Russian tanks moved into a Baltic republic and then you decided to review whether they were meeting their expectations, the Russian tanks would be at the Baltic Sea before you could get the file," said Bolton, a senior fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.

"So that is a massive failure of deterrence and it strikes not simply at the safety of the Baltic republics but the entire alliance," he said. "To call that deterrence into question opens the door for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin or others to take advantage of perceived weakness."

If Trump picks this disgusting fool as the Sec of State, then I will be very upset. Maybe his spouting off about NATO will lead Trump to pick someone who is actually a non interventionist. Notice how Fox is pushing Bolton like never before. So many pundits insisting Bolton would be the best person for Trump to pick for Sec of State.

This guy has no clue who Trump is. Sucks for him.

Um, yeah I do, and expect to be disappointed. But I still don't see how Trump picks someone like Bolton after his repeated repudiation of the very policies Bolton supports. I think Trump likes Bolton's "no nonsense" tough guy persona.

I hope is does not become Sec of State. He is the most evil person in politics. He wants to kill every person outside the U.S.. When he's done with that, I am afraid he'll bomb us.

Trump has hitched his wagon to General Flynn that disagrees greatly with Bolton on more than a few issues, specifically Syria and Russia.

Looks like Trump is taking his advice:



Trump changes tone on NATO, vows to work with alliance to defeat ISIS

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, in what was billed as a major foreign policy address, on Monday backed off past threats to withdraw from the NATO alliance -- saying that if he's elected, the U.S. will work with the 28-member bloc to defeat the Islamic State.

During his speech in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump called for working "very closely with NATO," describing radical Islamic terrorism as the dominant global threat and one that must be confronted at all levels.

In doing so, Trump acknowledged having previously described NATO as "obsolete" for not dealing adequately with terrorism.

"Since my comments, they have changed their policy," Trump said, calling this apparent development "very, very good."

Trump's latest NATO comments indeed mark a turnaround from warnings that if he's president, the U.S. might not come to the aid of alliance members if they are attacked by Russia or another country. Those remarks, made earlier this summer, drew heavy criticism from not only from Democrats and Republicans but also from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

I fail to see how that is "taking his advice." He still hasn't shown any sign of wanting to fight Russia over Syria and Ukraine and even Iran.
