Bolton: I had hopes that he might do the right thing for his country, but no. What a combination...

[Moral Compass]

10. A gutless wonder

This is a term my father used for showboating loudmouths that had no honors and were all talk and no action.

30 years in the Army meant he knew a lot of gutless wonders.

Bolton is the worst I’ve seen since Rumsfeld.

He is the reason we’re where we are with North Korea and was the leading edge of hyper aggressive confrontational non-diplomacy that gave NK, Iran, Libya and others no incentives to sit down at the bargaining table. Pompeo continues to operate that way and we now essentially lost our primary European allies and fanned the hatred of the US in the hearts our enemies.

The US is bully of the world now—unable to claim any moral high ground.

This started with Bolton and other right wing, neoliberal regime change freaks—who are unable to glean from history that NONE of the US forced regime changes were anything but catastrophic. That they thought and think that regime change in NK, Iran, Syria, Venezuela would somehow now create a positive result underscores their ignorance, arrogance, and simple stupidity.
