- Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, now in day 297, continues to go badly for Moscow. And now the U.S. is set to send patriot defense missile systems to Ukraine, a major game changer. Former Ambassador John Bolton, who also was the former president’s National Security Advisor for a time, reacts to the latest on the war, and also Iran's increasing role.

Where was Bolton when DT was busy coddling Putin?
He was vying for the perfume base that is naturally produced from Trump's backside... Eau De Trump.
He was near and thanks for God that he was close to Trump in some gatherings with Russia and N.Korea.
Maybe he is republican but he isn't Trump supporter or delusional conspirator.
Uhhhh ... On his knees in the Offal Office?
I'd like to hear Ambassador Marie Yovanovic's take on Bolton.
rubbing putines feet, where else !!
Reagan didn't bring Russia to its knees; Russia brought Russia to its knees.
It wouldn't have happened without Gorbachev that's for sure.
Some dude probably brought you to your knees
Thats true, Reagan didn't do it, he just did the usual old grifter trick of standing in front of psychophants and putting on a show. And those Berlin kids tore down that Wall themselves, read Burning Down the Haus.
It's a fact that regan had alzheimer s so sadly he was the only person in his knees.
I'm no Reagan fan, but I will give him this much credit - he saw a teetering USSR, and helped give the nudge off the cliff.
Ali, good to see you have a Standup Comedian on the show for our entertainment...
Thank you Bolton thank you for making it clear about the TRAITOR
I wonder if Bolton sees the irony when he says, "Americans have not been treated like adults", after stonewalling congress on a false claim of executive privilege.
Ironic Hypocrisy is the republican party!
The conservative mindset is sort of my god, my life. They can tweak their thinking to fit whatever outcome works. It's not really malicious. It's just when you believe in something that doesn't exist it's easy to have faith in things that aren't logical.
BIDEN: putin knows not to mess with me
PUTIN: he invades Ukraine 🤣
@@bidenisgarbage9428
And Biden has done a good job at organizing a resistance
@@bidenisgarbage9428 orange daddy gave him the greenlight by being spineless, like all Republicans are.
The fact that Bolton delayed giving important testimony until after the release of his book tells you all you need to know about this self-serving git.
He’s a typical republican
Yes, but doesn't mean he is wrong on this.
Agree--it's shameful & disgusting & unpatriotic.
BIDEN: putin knows not to mess with me
PUTIN: he invades Ukraine 🤣
It is odd that putin didn’t make his move under trumps watch. I think trump, and putin, thought he’d win 2020, trump would’ve pulled out of NATO and trump/putin could’ve worked together. If it wasn’t for covid that very likely would’ve happened.
John Bolton a big obstacle to world peace ☮️
He is actually correct.
I had this same conversation with a conservative friend last week. Ukraine would be part of Russia now if Trump is president. Americans supporting a dictator and not a democracy is mind numbing to me.
Saying democracy and traitor blue together, is hilarious
How can you have a conservative friend? How can you be friends with anyone that evil and corrupt? Says a lot about you...maybe you're not a real person either.
Your supporting a form of fascism in traitor Joe, close to being a dictator. Trump a dictator, that's funny
What do you expect when nearly half of the Republican Party idolizes the Nazi Party?
He bombed Russian. You and your friend are crazy and have short term memory loss.
Well, that's the one thing I can agree with John Bolton on, yes, Trump would have handed Ukraine to Putin.
Ukraine is not ours to hand over. Putting America first and not caring about Ukraine is not handing them over.
lets be real, Trump would have handed America to Putin.
I totally agree. I still think he was working for Putin. Now the corrupt part of the GOP wants to stop supporting them because of TRAITOR TRUMP.
Bolton is Dr Strangelove in the flesh.
@@simulationl279 let's be real, because of obama and biden, you would have to ask China's permission.
Calling this piece of work a warmonger is a tremendous understatement. There hasn't been a war he didn't like!
John Bolton is honest ... we may not like what he is saying ( I don't like what he is saying ) but hes speaking the truth
“Also I’m a feeble opportunist who did nothing until I had a book to sell.”
My feelings exactly
But of course, his statement about your hero are all correct. Did you get in on the Trump Super Hero cards? Sure you did.
He served the commander in chief. The final decision maker. Your choice is get thrown in prison and influence nothing or to influence something in a positive direction by serving with your mouth shut.
He did the pragmatic thing. In other words he was actually effective unlike yourself.
Why do we keep interviewing people like "I didn't speak up when it happened, but I'm going to write a book about it later" Bolton. We know who he is and that he has a very high opinion of himself and his own views. He thinks he is always right, making him as dangerous as 45. Smack him down for stating his opinions as facts!
Don't you mean 44?
The problem isn’t that he didn’t speak up then, it’s that he’s making stuff up to say now! MSNBC is eating it up!
LET U KNOW THIS EVIL PEPOLE USE EACH OTHER ,THEY BENEFIT ON EACH OTHER .😉
@@bigverybadtom no, trump was 45
@@obihave3210 I was talking about Obama smarty pants. He was the dangerous bozo, no matter how much the news media tried to whitewash him. People like us weren't fooled. 45 gave us jobs, peace, and prosperity, which Obama completely failed to do.
ALI,,,, John Bolton is absolutely right !
John Bolton is a great analyst, very intelligent guy.
HAHAHA!!!
Bolton is not an easy interview. He has experience and knows our history. I have to grit my teeth when I listen to him praise Reagan
Same here!
That's the thing that blows my mind. Conservatives went from Reagan's viewpoint that Russia is an evil empire, to, oh they're helping us win the election so there's nothing wrong with us being friends. Russia, go do whatever you want to our allies, it's not our business.
If you legit told me in 2014 that conservatives in 2022 are going to start supporting Russia, I would've said that's absolutely ridiculous. Those guys hate Russia as much as they hate Hillary Clinton. Ain't no way that's changing.
Well, it changed. lol
So says most liberals
Bolton is out to help Bolton.
Reagan... peace be upon him.
I cannot fathom the continued interest in what M Bolton has to say.
Me neither. Waste of tv time. Plus way to many soft ball questions Ali let him control the entire interview
👏🏼👏🏼
Me either. I’d have handed him over to the Iranians when they put a bounty on him.
i actually lke him, i don't agree with everything he says but he's a straight talker and makes a concise explanation of his opinions... how could someone this normal be part of the Trump thing, i guess it's just the ocean currents that determine that one
@@DarkShroom he put personal profits over the country.
Bolton is one of the few conservative officials whi got to know Trump well enough to say what he says.
*This man just looove war.*

Oh, we do. It's the people who hate Trump. They claim to be patriots but the rest of us know the truth about you.
Bolton should have spoken up earlier (before 2021), now he has zero credibility!
$book deal over doing what was right-he lost my respect
Yeah he's just an opportunist, just like most of the anchors on MSNBC and fox news, he's only interested in plugging his books and being on TV, he does not care about America, so he has no credibility but his statements are factually correct, and Trump was an immature moron

Aside from his political related comments, I actually agree that we should do more with our Allies to put Putin back in a box once and for all. It is a message all those like Putin, President Chi, Kim Jung Un and Iran need to understand. The Democracies of the world will stand strongly together bo matter what it takes.
Bolton is lying about the JCPOA and apparently thinks he knows far more about a deal he didn't participate in than the other countries, including several allies, who did agree to the Iran deal. Iran was cooperating with the terms of the deal until Trump came along and pulled out despite his inability to discuss the details. He knew nothing about foreign or domestic policy, nor did he care to educate himself. His only goal while in office was to achieve further power for himself that he would be able to use when he left office, along with lining his pockets w/taxpayer $$$. Since he lost in '20, his power grab consisted of stealing 100's of documents, including classified info. He's using the same old b.s. claiming it's a "hoax" and only the most ignorant among us would fall victim to further lies from him. The recent NFTs could easily be his attempt to launder money now that there is a court-appointed monitor at Trump Org. Trump is far more egomaniacal than I previously believed if he thinks he can pull these moves while Special Prosectutor Jack Smith is working on the investigation's details and the possibility of indictments.

Yes, it would've been very bad, for Ukraine, Europe, the US, and the World.
Yeah, for example because Ukraine can be relied upon to sell their grain to Africa at a reasonable price. So far, it seems like Russia is less reliable in this aspect. Russian occupation of Ukraine might mean more famine in Africa, unrest and refugees.

@@EricCartman915 there's a huge difference between 830 and 778. But let's be clear about this. It wasn't asked for, it was increased to. They don't want to help Ukraine but are willing to give the police surplus military equipment. That should anger everyone including Republicans. If they think it's only gonna be used on Democrats they're in for a rude awakening. How would they know who is who? To them everyone is a criminal unless you're in the top 1%. Everyone needs to understand the reason for 🐖🐖🐖. It's to capture slaves and protect property that's it. There's a reason for these culture war issues. Since Republicans are angry and distracted they never see what's coming🙄. Instead of us vs. them it should be all of us vs. the one percent. I wish they would sit down and listen honestly to those who are physically different than them. They would learn there's more in common than different. So how do we get through to them🤷♀️. Politicians are more afraid of the support that George Floyd got than the attempted coup. One was worldwide the other only here.
*22 Billion to date
It's worth it to see how craptastic Pu's junk really is🤣

I’m not a Bolton fan, and don’t see things his way usually but he’s spot on right here. Support for Ukraine is also support for America. It’s not charity. 👍
even insane people can look like a broken clock
Just because he may be correct in his opinion / assessment of this situation here (and I'm not saying that he is), that doesn't change the fact that Bolton is a traitor to this country, and an absolute *monster.* Go look up him trying to bring the NRA to Russia for just one of countless insidious operations he's been involved with.
We cannot allow _"people"_ like this to have their images rehabilitated, or otherwise be treated as legitimate / reliable sources of information, when they have provably acted against the national security interests of the United States and her people. It's shameful that MSNBC has him on.
Even now he is clearly guilty of Felony Misprision, waiting to write a book (which MSNBC *_PROMOTES_* in this video) before revealing vital criminal activity that he was directly aware of.
Its the one thing he happened to get right here...no kudos for that
Trump would probably have given Russia…Alaska.
Not before he bought Greenland of the Danish.
Anything for another Trump Hotel
Exactly he would have sold it to them for 500 million and the Pee tapes
I agree. Putin made it clear that Russia is on his radar for retaking former Imperial territories.
While threatening to take over Canada.
I've to have him sent to the frontline
Bolton cannot get his head out of his rear end.
I appreciate that you've invited Bolton on your show but he's not a friend of America.
And every time I've heard Bolton speak, it takes only a few minutes till the realization kicks in.. yeah it was a mistake to think he's rarional decent person.
I sooooo agree 👍. I don't think anyone needs to hear that cowards comments, they bring no value to any adult discussion.
Why, because he was correct about Russia, Syria and Iran? Seems he was actually more rational and aware, than Obama or Kerry. They were wrong about those countries, and Bolton was correct, and called a hawk, for being correct.
He may be rational, but "decent,"... No.
Want a shollow reasoning, there was a Minsky treaty of which Trump was to protect to ensure that all parties adhere to it hence no war at all.
And if the US hadn't scuppered the Minsk agreement they would still be in Russia.
