WASHINGTON — President Trump named John R. Bolton, a hard-line former American ambassador to the United Nations, as his third national security adviser on Thursday, continuing a shake-up that creates one of the most hawkish national security teams of any White House in recent history.

Mr. Bolton, an outspoken advocate of military action who served in the George W. Bush administration, has called for action against Iran and North Korea. In an interview on Thursday on Fox News, soon after his appointment was announced in a presidential tweet, he declined to say whether Mr. Trump should go through with a planned meeting with North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un.
Yet another Russian connection clambers into Don 'Terrific' Trump's administration.
He's a boots-and-all free trade man. Guess the protectionist president will tolerate that, for a time at least, as it would be Bolton's aggressive anti-Iran deal stance and his ultra-hawkish foreign policy ideas generally which would have attracted T-rump the most.
Yep, super hawk Bolton is back.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
