It's hilarious how many former Bush neocon war mongers liberals now cling to in an attempt to criticize Trump.

Bolton has yet to meet a war he didn't like.

Why are Dems so obsessed with war

Their leadership class is now as deeply integrated with the military industrial complex as is the Republicans.

And a good portion of their more activist class loves the idea of spreading liberalism around the world via US government power.

Soft- like USAID

Or Hard- like the failed nation building in Afghanistan using our armed forces

In fact…the Afghan pull out was when I realized how pro-war the American Left had become.

Instead of celebrating our withdraw from a un-winnable and costly guerrilla war….all the media chatter was about how we were abandoning "women's rights" and "LGBTQ rights" in Afghanistan

They now view war as a legitimate means of spreading their cultural values around the globe

Those who have never witnessed violent death first hand are usually the most keen to go to war.

And those who will never have to actually risk their precious ass are the loudest of all.

Bolton is a man with long experience in foreign policy who has earned the right not to be listened to. Trump may be wildly inconsistent, but that's better than being consistently wrong.
