Bolton slams Trump's peace promise as 'madness' for Ukraine

I am not a shrink, but I know the technical term for someone who says, "I will bring peace to the world." This is nuts. He has no idea how, said the former Trump advisor in an interview with CNN. John Bolton added that, in his opinion, "this is a very dark moment not only for Ukraine."

John Bolton, Donald Trump's former national security advisor, believes that Trump's potential win in the presidential election would be "very bad news for Ukraine."

- I don't think Donald Trump has a philosophy, doesn't do policy. He does deals, that's how he sees the world - said Bolton in an interview with CNN.

The politician reminded the audience of Trump's statement after his conversation with Zelensky, where Trump said that "as the next president of the United States, he will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives and destroyed countless innocent families."

- I am not a shrink, but I know the technical term for someone who says, "I will bring peace to the world." This is nuts. He has no idea how, said Bolton.

The former Trump advisor added that "Trump's sympathy for Vladimir Putin will lead to concessions to the Russian side, which will be catastrophic for Ukraine."

- I think it's a very dark moment, and it is not only a dark moment for Ukraine because we haven't come to their assistance out of the goodness of our hearts, out of an act of charity. We have been assisting Ukraine because defence is at the core of American national security interest to defend against unprovoked aggression on the continent of Europe and to try to get peace and stability there that benefits us in innumerable ways. We are not doing this gratuitously for Ukraine - summarised John Bolton.

He concluded his speech by saying that "it's about hard core American interests, that neither Donald Trump nor JD Vance apparently understand."
