Bolton said the "blatant" attack in public reminds him of North Korea, "Moscow's friend," murdering Kim Jong Un's brother in the middle of an airport last year.
"It's an act of defiance. It's saying to London and the other western capitals, 'what are you gonna do about it?' Well, I think there should be a very strong answer to that," he said, arguing the time has come for real "deterrence" that Vladimir Putin will understand.
John Bolton said Thursday that the chemical poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter in England fits into the larger pattern of Russia and similar regimes making peaceful promises and then lying about them.
The former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said that not only is the attack itself significant, but so is the fact that it is in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.
"What does it take to get people to connect the dots?" "Russia, China, Syria, Iran, North Korea...these are regimes that make agreements and lie about them."
Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, were found unconscious on a bench in the English city of Salisbury on March 4 after being poisoned with a “very rare” nerve agent, Fox News reported.
In a meeting Wednesday at the United Nations, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley condemned Russia over the attack.
"If we don't take immediate, concrete measures to address this now, Salisbury will not be the last place we see chemical weapons used," Haley said.
In a further response to the attack, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May expelled 23 Russian diplomats.

What would Pat Buchannan say?
John Bolton is one of the good guys. Bolton was born on November 20, 1948 in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Virginia Clara “Ginny” (née Godfrey), a housewife, and Edward Jackson “Jack” Bolton, a fireman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Bolton
Wasn’t our guy, maybe the Brits should.
Hillary has had more people killed in the US than Putin.
My answer “well, what are you going to do about it”?

We are finally realizing that the Cold War has never stopped. It goes on and on. Now that we have some true Americans at the helm, we can at least start defending ourselves from the Bush/Obama globalism.
Come out punching John!

Russia without Putin is still Russia.
Some dipwads think we should capitulate on the world stage while the enemy gets bolder, fearful that we “might provoke them”
He’s very spirited, I like that.
I also like that he hates the UN.
But he’s going to get the USA into a war that isn’t OURS.
I’m celebrating with glee that Bolton will be our NSA. He’s EXACTLY the person we need in this position and will scare anyone of thinking of farking with us! And I’m especially delighted that the liberal media is apoplectic about it!
He's a 32d degree warmonger if you ask me.
Many others just like him inhabiting the Deep State.
Ho, boy -- I need to stay up with the breaking news.
Could that story the other day about all the bigwigs retreating to their exclusive bomb shelters have been a precursor to this announcement?
Maybe it's time to take a vacation to some South Pacific island . .
. . and bring all he family that will fit on my (imagined) yacht.
Well said.
Ever notice John Bolton and Wilfred Brimley are never seen in the same room ?
AWESOME for John Bolton to be in !
Wish he was running State but it’s OK .
Bolton has never been in combat. He was a REMF Reserve type. These punks like need to defer to real combat types about the military. Bolton knows zip about war.
Bolton has never seen a country he didn’t want to invade or a dictator he didn’t want to overthrow. Where are we going to war first - Iran, Syria, North Korea, Yemen or Venezuela?
