    The initial panic when John Bolton was appointed was reasonable, considering he had just called for a preemptive strike on North Korea and craved expanded war in Syria. But his preferences have been decisively overridden, and that has to be acknowledged:https://medium.com/@mtracey/notes-on-the-withdrawals-961fdcb5b454 …

        If he's being used as a "bad cop" prop, that's a lot better than various alternatives, but no one should feel comfortable with him being anywhere near the locus of state power!

        I do believe Trump likes to get all sides of an issue out there. Bolton gets him his extreme neocon view and Trump can play off it. Ending two wars is extreme and welcomed. Telling the establishment war profiteers to eff off is refreshing. End #ForeverWar

        It's almost as if President Trump works to achieve peace through strength, and chooses his military cabinet partially based on Optics. Imagine that.

        My read is that it's more like a traditional palace intrigue scenario where the advisers are running around backstabbing each other and trying to push their various competing priorities.

        I knew a very successful car salesman. One tactic he used, if he realized a prospective customer didn't like him, he'd do little things to make it worse. Then turn them over on a pretense to a guy with a completely affable personality. They'd buy from him and they'd split it.

        I think he’s more of an opportunist than ideologue then. Unlike Mattis. I think Trump told him: do as I say and you will keep your job. And he agreed.

        As long as he remains in the administration he represents a danger - like all #neoconscum he plays the long game and will lie in wait looking for an opportunity to lever Trump to initiate a conflagration #warmonger #bloodonhishands

        It is common knowledge that Trump wants to bomb Venezuela and deploy special forces to South&Central America. Mattis stopped him from doing it...

        Most of Trump's appointees appear to be playing the role of " place holder".

        Hm but that whole thing where he knew about the Meng Wanzhou arrest during the state dinner with Xi Jingping while Trump did not suggests he's still got tricks up his sleeve.

        He was pulled in as Trump's credible "bad cop"/attack dog in negotiations w/Kim, no? Everyone was afraid of him. An "attack dog" that nobody's afraid of doesn't work at all, right?
