Bolton Rejects ‘Nuclear Freeze’ With North Korea

Says suggestion of compromise is 'reprehensible'

Bolton played a role in torpedoing two seperate attempts at a North Korea deal first with Cheney under Bush and then in Hanoi under Trump

John Bolton issued an angry Tweet on Monday condemning reports from the New York Times that the Trump Administration might seek a compromise with North Korea involving a freeze of the nation’s nuclear arsenal instead of immediately insisting on denuclearization.

Bolton insisted that neither he nor anyone else had ever discussed such an idea, or even heard of the idea that such a deal was under consideration. He demanded that “there should be consequences” for the newspaper for daring to publish it.

Bolton went on to call the report “a reprehensible attempt by someone to box in the President.” The New York Times responded on Twitter, saying they stand behind the accuracy of their reporting.

Among administration officials, Bolton has always been one of the most hesitant toward North Korea diplomacy to begin with, and would be one who would oppose any sort of administration move to dial down demands on North Korea.

This means that Bolton may be trying to shoot down the media reports on what is being considered, to try to direct negotiations toward a more hardline US position, the kind of position that has been failing for months.

    Well, Bolton is a member of the Ratschild’s Khazarian Mafia, (“citizen of Israhell).

    How the Rats going to get WW 3 started if the Rat’s minions, such as the personal coward Bolton, who made sure he did not go to war, (but wants to send other folks children), don’t help the Rats get WW 3 started?
