McMaster as National Security Adviser, effective April 9. \u00a0Following this announcement, many from the Beltway establishment and mainstream media reacted in horror. The old, tired \u201cwarmonger\u201d mantra that was often used against members of the Bush Administration was resurrected and applied to John Bolton. Critics of Bolton cast him as a mere Fox News contributor and an extremist for his strong positions on Iran, Russia, and North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On March 22 in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">an interview with <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/5756667739001\/?#sp=show-clips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fox News\u2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Martha MacCallum<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Bolton expounded on the duties that come with the job of national security adviser. He explained that a national security adviser needs to provide the President with all options available in addressing every national security situation, while also providing the advantages and disadvantages to each possible strategy. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the President chooses which strategy he sees best, the national security adviser must oversee the implementation of the strategy. Bolton said that, \u201cI\u2019ve been in lots of bureaucracies, and I\u2019ve seen the way that bureaucracies that don\u2019t like decisions sit on them.\u00a0I know my way around the corridors in Washington, and I think that role will also be important.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">John Bolton certainly is aware of the inner-workings of America\u2019s complex foreign policy and national security machinery, as demonstrated by his service at Defense, Justice, and State Departments. Matthew Waxman, a professor at Columbia Law School and former senior policy official at the State and Defense departments, witnessed firsthand how John Bolton operates under pressure. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Waxman <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">noted in an article for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawfareblog.com\/john-bolton-i-knew\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Lawfare Institute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that when working as President George W. Bush\u2019s National Security Council staff, he witnessed Bolton \u201cput loyalists in key vantage points and marginalize those he distrusts,\u201d pick his battles wisely, and remain thorough and methodical in delivering policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During his time as UN Ambassador, Bolton became well known for his sharp criticism of the international organization as well as his bluntness. However, he still managed to receive several unanimous or near-unanimous votes on UN Security Council resolutions that addressed North Korea\u2019s activities and Iran\u2019s nuclear program. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being able to receive the support of China and Russia for resolutions on these issues demonstrates Bolton\u2019s diplomatic skill and negotiating capabilities. Bolton sought to score victories for the Bush Administration and protect American interests, and managed to do so even when navigating the very complex and bureaucratic UN system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ideologically, Bolton champions Reagan style realism and seeks to prioritize American interests. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an opinion piece for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2018\/03\/24\/the-beltway-establishment-is-wrong-again-john-bolton-is-a-great-pick-for-trump\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New York Post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Hugh Hewitt described how after departing the Bush Administration, Bolton has effectively represented his ideological beliefs through the media and via political action committees. These ideals include Reaganism and the \u201cWeinberger doctrine,\u201d which is possessing \u201ca vastly superior American military force deployed quickly, decisively and then withdrawn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most importantly, John Bolton understands that in foreign policymaking, a wide variety of options exist when handling national security situations. Diplomatic negotiations can be the first option to pursue in addressing a conflict, as it avoids issues such as escalating tensions and costly military operations. However, if a country does not value diplomacy and does not prioritize peace, other options must be pursued. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bolton is not naive and is well aware of nations\u2019 ulterior motives. America needs successful foreign policy after years of foreign policy blunders. \u00a0Bolton <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">opposed the symbolic reset with Russia in 2009<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which failed to prevent Russia\u2019s invasion of Crimea and increased tensions in Eastern Europe, reports <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/national-security\/374489-russian-assault-on-american-idea-enables-trump-to-take-tough-action\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Hill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bolton <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">also opposed negotiating a nuclear deal with the world\u2019s largest state sponsor of terrorism<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which did not prevent ballistic missile threats against Israel and increased funding to insurgent groups that destabilize the Middle East, reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2017\/08\/iran-nuclear-deal-exit-strategy-john-bolton-memo-trump\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the National Review<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0Bolton <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">never supported \u201cstrategic patience\u201d with North Korea<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which has only given the Pyongyang regime more time to develop nuclear weapons and threaten international peace, reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-military-options-for-north-korea-1501718189\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Wall Street<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">President Trump can credit his rise to power and shockwave election upset to his campaign message of putting the interests of the American people first. Bringing outsiders into Washington is a means to \u201cdrain the swamp,\u201d bring about reform in the government and force the political elite to deliver meaningful policies to the very frustrated and disenchanted populus. However, in a Cabinet composed of many outsiders, appointing a Washington insider such John Bolton, who prioritizes American interests, will enable the Trump Administration to effectively bring about policy change in the nation\u2019s vast and complicated foreign policy machinery.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump announced via Twitter that former U.S. Ambassador John Bolton will replace H.R.
