Feb 28, 2018: In WSJ editorial, Bolton "laid out the case for a preemptive strike against" NK

Just last month, Bolton wrote a highly controversial editorial in The Wall Street Journal in which he laid out the case for a preemptive strike against the North, a position he has long touted.

“His op-ed last month advocating for, and justifying, a preemptive strike against North Korea says it all,” Vipin Narang, a professor of international relations at MIT, told HuffPost. “How do you convince Kim Jong Un to even freeze testing ― let alone countenance any disarmament ― when this is America’s national security adviser?”

“He’s never met a country he hasn’t wanted to destroy,” Narang continued.
