"I still think the decision to overthrow Saddam was correct." John Bolton four years ago. He's the guy who got the current POTUS to withdraw from JCPOA. And he's the guy who got DPRK to withdraw from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

He hates treaties. He believes in ordering countries what to do, and intimidating or bombing them if they don't comply, and treaties make that difficult.

He's delusional, not a credible person, and in no way has he been rehabilitated.

Bolton is the perfect guy to give media shrills something to talk about while working peace deals in the background.

Well, while he is in office, the USA shredded the JCPOA and signed 0 peace treaties.

Of course, it could be a smokescreen to make it up on the second term. Occam's Razor says that's not correct.

No he's not. He's the guy you get to sabotage peace deals. That's his entire history in government.

Huh. That sounds so "deep state-y".

Why is that deep state-y? He doesn’t even make a secret about it. He has literally said he wants regime change in Iran no matter what.
