We all know that Bolton's been the perfect image of the chickenhawk -- a man who managed never to fight in a war, but can't wait to send other people off to fight and kill and die at the drop of a hat.
Thing is, when did it become part of the chickenhawk schtik to sell your country out? At this point, even ten-year-olds can see that Trump has sold his soul (or whatever he has that passes for one) to Putin and the Russian oligarchs. Is this Bolton's overarching ambition -- to sell out America? Or does he have a fantasy of making some eleventy-dimensional three-cushion bank shot that puts him in the history books as the man who MAGAed?
Or is he just barking mad?

Bolton, trump*. Stone are the kind of men who have to constantly try to convince everyone that they are better, smarter and stronger than everyone around them because on some deep level teetering between their conscious and subconscious mind, they know they are just the opposite.
