John Bolton, former National Security Advisor, recently criticized Donald Trump's approach to U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Bolton pointed out the unusual nature of a recent U.N. vote where the U.S. sided with nations like Russia and North Korea. He emphasized that this alignment contradicts the fundamental purpose of NATO, created to counter Russian aggression. Bolton also questioned whether Trump's conciliatory approach to Putin reflects coherent strategy or cognitive impairment, suggesting his statements indicate confusion rather than intentional diplomacy.
Bolton stated, "It wasn’t so much the vote itself as the fact we are aligned with what has always been NATO’s principal threat... It’s just unthinkable that a president could do that."
Trump’s defenders argue that his contradictory statements are part of a negotiating strategy, but Bolton observed, "I think it’s an indication his mind is full of mush and he says whatever comes into it."
