I don't remember Bolton being in Ukraine in 2014. I do remember Victoria Nuland and John McCain being there.

Bolton is a bragging asshat. He should not be trusted with power.

He sure has.

Wow, was I ever wrong about him.

He’s the self-destruction that never ceases to melt down
year after year.

Anyone else remember GWB rushing off to Venezuela during the early 911 security investigations?
