John Bolton Explodes at Idea of North Korean Nuclear Freeze

John Bolton

The New York Times is reporting a dramatic and important first step, if we first adopt the shaky notion that the US should be involved in the Korean peninsula at all. According to the Times, the US and North Korea are working on a North Korean nuclear freeze:

The concept would amount to a nuclear freeze, one that essentially enshrines the status quo, and tacitly accepts the North as a nuclear power, something administration officials have often said they would never stand for.

Tump's adviser and crazed war hawk John Bolton is furious at the idea of this deal which is a step in the direction of lowering tensions:

I read this NYT story with curiosity. Neither the NSC staff nor I have discussed or heard of any desire to “settle for a nuclear freeze by NK.” This was a reprehensible attempt by someone to box in the President. There should be consequences. https://t.co/TTRPQkksza

Yeah, the consequence should be the firing of Bolton if he can get on the peace page.
