Syria first test of US top national adviser

Donald Trump warned on Monday of an inevitable military response from the United States to the Syrian regime, which had used chemical weapons against civilians, but the new national security chief was sitting behind him while his mustaches were the memory of previous American wars.

John Bolton was one of the leaders of the Bush administration, raised in the war within Iraq and Afghanistan, these conflicts that Bolton is bringing to the spotlight after a decade of maze policy, reports The Guardian”, the Periscope broadcast.

His first day as national security officer under Trump's leadership, and the question is how to interfere with the Syrian regime associated with the use of poisonous gas against the enclave in eastern Damascus.

Last night, Bolton, accompanied by US President Donald Trump, and other generals discussed the United States' attacks on Syria.

It's his first day. So, general, I think it's the right day,” said Trump, before Bolton took his word.

“Bolton is certainly not intimidated by the use of military force”, said Juliane Smith, a senior member of the Obama National Security Council and now director of the transatlantic Security Programme at the Center for New American Security.

The question is how much it wants to push the president on a path of escalation with Russia, Iran and Syria. ”

Beyond the immediate decision on Syria, there is an even greater uncertainty and concern about Bolton's influence on policies towards North Korea and Iran, where Bolton has been a staunch opponent of diplomatic compromise.

He had called on the United States to get out of the deal with Iran on nuclear weapons, and Trump is considering that this would happen next month.
