Bolton is an idiot.

Ok, and he still represents the warhawk/neocon type of thought in Washington.

How stupid you think he is doesn't really change how Trump already had his mind made up on leaving NATO. I'm no fan of NATO, I think it will collapse eventually. Trump just further cracked an already strained relationship.

I’m right. I’m just not far right and we have few politicians who are. Most of them have little to no power anyways.

Seems like Gaetz just got your speak of house pruned didn't he?

Its not like you have to be particularly far right to support Russia/ oppose arming Ukraine. " centrists " and Warhawks aside there isint too many vocal right wing voices supporting Ukraine.

Putin also didn’t realize how bad his army was and how effective the javelin is or how hard the Ukrainians would fight.

That situation would have been very different if Trump was in charge of the U.S.A when Russia rolled across the border.

He would have cut a deal with Russia at the expense of Ukranian territory like he did in Syria cutting a deal with Turkey.

The Russian's nearly captured Mykolaiv. Had the Ukranian's not received continued stinger and Jav support + other early equipment the situation could have been different. I don't like playing the alternative history game but I disagree with your assessment of Trump fully.

He would not have played his cards like the Biden admin did.
