Daniel Davis is back, this time discussing his recent USA Today op-ed on John Bolton’s ouster as President Trump’s National Security Advisor. Bolton was a fierce war hawk who pushed Trump toward war on almost every front, explains Davis, often apparently contravening Trump’s own good instincts. Davis is hopeful that Bolton’s replacement will help get negotiations in Afghanistan back on track, but fears that Trump could appoint someone who’s almost as bad.
Discussed on the show:
“Bolton pushed Trump into more risk, war and casualties, good riddance” (USA Today)Anti-Ballistic Missile TreatyIntermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty
