Tuesday, former National Security adviser John Bolton asserted that Russian President Vladimir Putin “was undoubtedly waiting for a second Trump term” to invade Ukraine.
According to Bolton, Putin is “getting effectively almost” the same response from the Biden administration that he expected to get from former President Donald Trump and his administration.

Bolton trying to hang Putin around Trump.
NO CREDIBILITY. AT ALL.
Creepy mustache man.
HA HA HA HA!!!! Still butt-hurt over getting fired I see.
Well if Putin was waiting for Trump’s second term, how come he did it early in Biden’s term, genius?
Well he’s gotta support the globalist team, or be considered a useless eater.
What a twerp. Why doesn’t he admit Putin loves having Dementia Joe as Resident.
He is strong on military action, but he can’t seem to think outside of that; so everything is a nail and the solution is a hammer. Whether that be bombing Iran over a wrecked drone, sending boots on ground to Syria, etc.
You succeeded! I thought you were a great American, but you aren't!
there’s a reason why official Washington shunned him for most of his career.
Bolton is probably jumping for joy...WHEE...IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS GOING TO BE A WAR.
Something he likes more than BETRAYAL.
FJB! And Joe Biden, too!
Right. He was waiting for a Trump second term so he invaded Ukraine 13 months after Biden was installed. Makes sense.
it’s amazing how many people completely lost their mind over Trump. Bolton is a snake and wishing for the karma fairy to smack him right in his gross moustache.
Bolton is just a petty little warmonger.
“He is strong on military action, but he can’t seem to think outside of that; so everything is a nail and the solution is a hammer. Whether that be bombing Iran over a wrecked drone, sending boots on ground to Syria, etc.”
Yeah, he turned out to be a one-trick pony. He had me fooled for a few years back in the 2000s.
Shut up John. You have no idea what’s going on over there or why.
As Trump's National Security Adviser though, Bolton was foolishly combative with Trump, with too many disagreements being in the nature of an employee thinking the boss to be an inexperienced dope and therefore subject to countermand by the employee. More broadly, Bolton seemed to be both more hawkish than Trump and unable to accept Trump's real estate hustler manner of negotiation and efforts to keep adversaries off-balance and guessing at his intentions.
If more self-disciplined and less arrogant, Bolton would have put aside his personal opinions and might have become a successful adviser and executor for Trump, like Secretary of State John Hay with Teddy Roosevelt. Similarly, Kissinger sometimes clashed with or was exasperated with Nixon or criticized him in private, but he cleverly used Nixon's reputation for toughness and daring moves as a lever to secure agreements with foreign counterparts.
Yup.
Why would Putin wait for someone who can and would hurt him in order to not deal with a cream puff?
I looked at his Wikipedia entry and it appears he got deferments to avoid Vietnam.
Wonder why a guy so blood thirsty would pass up a chance to go into battle.
Yep...Bolton is happy that we might be in another war...im not happy
True...Bolton is a moron and his statement is stupid...
