Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said that the Trump administration was “never confronted” with a decision to shoot down a balloon approaching Alaska. “Anything coming at us in the low atmosphere, in the high atmosphere or via ballistic missile trajectory should be treated as inherently suspicious,” Bolton said.

Joe Biden is old. Trump is old and heavy ( out-of-shape ). John Bolton is also old. Let the next younger-generation to step up and conquer the toughest job.
It is weird. John Bolton said he doesn't have a lot of info. yet, and he immediately said maybe North-Korea.
That is stupid to say on public broadcasting. Too quick to assume. Guess what, N-Korea is watching.
John Bolton Needs to Recall that TRUMP Missed a Lot of Daily BRIEFFINGS He Spent More Time on the Golf Course.
First of all, it is predictable that Mr. Bolton would attribute all unidentified objects as mishandled by this administration. He is a conservative and a very sound thinker when evaluating security. The insertion of a partisan twist is a disappointment to me. This is just another intelligent man more consumed with defending his party over informing his fellow humans with proven facts.
My thoughts on this matter are surely my own just as his are. The need to keep the war in Ukraine from expanding and being used by China or Russia as an excuse to take the war to other NATO Allies , just maybe one consideration of this present administration. Who is correct? We can only assume that since war has NOT been declared between the USA and China, we may have some very sound minds in the leadership at the Pentagon!
He's a lier like Pinocchio.. 🤬 Bolton just wants to write books an make money like they all do.. everything they do is in book's. 🤬
Incompetent people to NOT REALIZE THAT BALLON IS LOOKING FOR COORDINATES OF THE CAULDERA OF
THE YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO. THAT'S THE TARGET!!
Traitor Bunker Biden is still hunkered down waiting for the all clear!!!!!
Lying POS, he just doesn't want himself to look as bad as Trump.
A US military pilot was incapable of hitting one of these highly evasive balloons with only one $400k missile. Every military pilot in the world must be laughing hysterically and has lost all fear of dogfighting. 😂
There is an interview with Bolton in which he proudly proclaims that of course he would lie any time it would help his country…
One was brought down in Montana the night of February 3rd by 2 jets. knowone is talking about it. Where did the one they saw in Canada go? So there had to be 2 of them.
Everything about UFOs is a misinformation campaign to draw attention away from the Classified Documents.
Americans are a very unstable exciteable lot.
Even a few balloons upset them.
Hi from Cool-Calm-Collected-Europe.
Bolton, you are a liar like Trump.
This gal has turned on the democrats
You biden is cooperating, if they get biden they will have to get pence
They should lock him and pence up until they tell what he knows
It doesn't matter who it is,they are not going to tell the public everthing
Can everyone STOP using Trump to explain their mess!!!!!
It’s getting old … it’s 2023
Stop 🛑 We need Leaders who can Lead and Protect American People and Democracy ❤️🇺🇸
Good to see a republican on a Dem leaning channel getting along. I like how he’s not a lunatic
I bet there's a sammich or two in Bolton's mustache.
If Chinese balloon can easily enter USA then their nuclear missiles can easily enter US also. They don't do Kung Fu fighting like those days anymore… He.. He..
Traitor Bolton.
Some of those poor downed weather balloons turns out to be our own.
Donald was far too busy today playing golf and holding rallies to be bothered with security threats from his good pal Xi Jing Ping.
He is a liar.
Don't you have another book you should be working on Mr. Bolton??? Pathetic.
