Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)US President Donald Trump has replaced national security adviser HR McMister with former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton. Trump wrote on Twitter thanking General McMister for his service and said he did extraordinary work, KTV reports. On the other hand, Bolton, who has supported the attacks on North Korea [...]
He's Trump's third security adviser in 14 months. At the same time, Bolton's appointment does not require the US Senate's approval and he will take office on April 9th.
Commenting on the appointment, Bolton said he is eager to work with the president to make the state safer. Otherwise, 69-year-old is part of the defence circles between Republicans for decades. He served in the administration of Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush and George W Bush. The second Bush had named him ambassador to the UN, and during that time diplomats privately complained in a snoring style like his.
A harsh neo-conservator, Bolton helped create the case against Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein for possession of weapons of mass destruction, which once proved wrong. He continues to support Iraq's invasion and committed himself to inciting attacks on Iran and North Korea. Among other things, his thoughts about Kosovo differ greatly from most American politicians. In 2008, by the time Kosovo declared independence, Bolton had said that the region could face instability if Kosovo is independent. Being a frequent guest on television, Russia Today, Bolton had said that the position of Americans and the EU towards Kosovo has compromised negotiations and that Russia could be more involved.
According to him, unilateral declaration of independence would be illegal and could promote separatist movements in the world, thus undermining international order. In another case, also in Russia Today, he has said that Kosovo can trigger Islamic extremism in Europe.
