Widespread Support For John Bolton As National Security Advisor



Commentators agree that by appointing John Bolton as National Security Advisor (NSA), the President has made an excellent choice to confront the challenges of a dangerous world

“President Trump has said he is at last assembling a Cabinet team to his liking, and late Thursday he announced that John Bolton will replace General H.R. McMaster as his National Security Adviser. It is a solid and experienced choice…. Mr. Bolton’s first job will be to prepare the President for an historic meeting with Kim Jong Un. We may assume Pyongyang knows now that bluffing the U.S. won’t work. 

FORMER SENATOR TOM COBURN (R-OK) IN USA TODAY: Bolton Right Choice on National Securit

“The president’s decision to appoint John Bolton as his national security adviser reflects an understanding of the critical lessons of history, and the Bolton designation will greatly reduce the grave risks now faced by America during today’s increasingly troubled times.”

USA TODAY’S JAMES S. ROBBINS: John Bolton will Finally Let Donald Trump be Donald Trump on Foreign Polic

“If the president can get a better trade deal for American workers while also encouraging Beijing to make Pyongyang see reason and abandon its nuclear weapons, he could be in the running for a Nobel Peace Prize. And Bolton and Pompeo are likely to help him get there.”

NATIONAL REVIEW’S DAVID FRENCH: John Bolton isn’t Dangerous. The World is.

“He’s a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations . He’s on the board of trustees of the National Review Institute. He’s a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He’s a conservative hawk, yes, but he’s squarely in the mainstream of conservative foreign-policy thought.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES’ BRET STEPHENS: John Bolton is Right About the U.N

“I agree with Bolton about some things and disagree about others. But on the U.N. he’s been right all along. If his presence in the White House helps to scare the organization into real reform, so much the better.”

HUGH HEWITT IN THE WASHINGTON POST: John Bolton is a Great Addition to the White House

“As the president’s top security aide, Bolton will be an honest broker and someone who can drive decisions through molasses-thick resistance. These qualities, plus his top-shelf intellect, make Bolton the best national security player to join Trump’s West Wing team so far.”

NEW YORK POST’S MICHAEL GOODWIN: White House Shake-Ups Prove Trump’s Putting America Firs

“In truth, Bolton is a hawk because the world is full of dangerous actors and some evil ones and he sensibly believes there’s no point of being America if we’re going to roll over and surrender our advantages. Already there are rumblings that Russia, China and North Korea won’t be happy to see Bolton having the president’s ear — which proves Trump chose wisely.”

The collapse of the legitimacy of the mullahs regime has already happened In a recent interview with the Mostaghel newspaper, Faezeh Hashemi, daughter of the infamous Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, one of the founders of Islamic Republic, talked about Hassan Rouhani’s defeat and  the collapse of the Iranian regime . Hashemi’s statements were widely republished by media outlets affiliated with the so-called reformist faction of the Iranian regime, and pundits and personalities of this faction generally confirmed it. “The collapse of legitimacy has already happened, and only a physical collapse has not happened, and chances are high that this happens,” Hashemi said in her interview. “Mr. Rouhani talks as if he isn’t the president. Parts of these [matters] are in the jurisdiction of the government. He talks as if he is the opposition. You should be able to act! Who are you criticizing?” she said about the Iranian regime’s president’s lack of action and his comprehensive defea
