Seems like the basic framework of any good business dealing.
I bet Trump would excel at it - without exacerbating the matter like a certain clueless lame-brain we know...
Bolton is mind-reading a reaction to a false scenario. He is making a fallacious argument about a situation that never happened during Trump’s presidency.
If Trump was in office, there wouldn’t have been a need for Ukraine-Russia peace talks.
“This would require thinking through a policy...”
What policy?
It’s peace talks.
The arbitrator doesn’t have a policy other than for the parties to arrive at a peace treaty.
Like Bolton would be able to either!
Bolton turned into a complete ASSWIPE! Trump has a special way of having people OUT THEMSELVES!
Of course the lying sack of shite Bolton understands that no president, especially in the modern age, could call all the shots and handle all the aspects of the job without the Cabinet.
Horse crap .
Trumps big strength was in getting leaders together .
And this never would have happened with him as President
Petty jealousy.
Not being a member of NATO also means not being constrained by NATO...maybe Bolton needs to rethink his rhetoric.
Not his problem Bolton.
Libtard 101 isn’t Trumps issue at all.
Bolton. See what happens when you don’t get the power and clout you think you deserve.
He wouldn’t do it like all the previous negotiators have done. But he would succeed.
Not the John Bolton who has always been deeply dedicated to those who hired him in the past? You know, the one who is always 100% loyal to those who he has worked for? /s
By all means, I’m certain that President Blank Stare could competently hold those peace talks. /sarc
So...let me get this straight. The John Bolton who never saw a war he didnt like is talking peace talks now?
That John Bolton? Or am I thinking of somebody else here.
“This would require thinking through a policy and considering the pluses and minuses, the risks and costs involved. That’s just not what he does.”
What an idiot. Cost analysis IS Trump.
Who better to make a good policy?
A senile pudding eater operated by his shrew of a wife?
I just wish I could live long enough to read the history
books in fifty years.
I remember, a long time ago, when I liked John Bolton.
That was then.
Don’t think he would have needed to in the first place.
“This would require thinking through a policy and considering the pluses and minuses, the risks and costs involved. That’s just not what he does.”
Isn’t that something the head of a business might do every day?
NATO is an ATM for neocons that invest in the military industrial complex, and Trump knew that and didn’t want taxpayers funding it.
