gently caress

What was Mattie doing that kept Trump in check, because it looks like Trump was pretty much ignoring recently

So Bolton is bad and evil, but also Trump should listen to him more on foreign policy and stay the course?

oh my god people Mattis was not 'the last adult' he was literally hired only for his nickname and his career is full of generic warmongering poo poo and outright tech-scams he ran on the government for a quick buck

A pull out from almost everywhere, done with care, would be a good thing, especially if accompanied with a corresponding decrease in military spending

Idk, it's not like Trump is going to listen to Bolton either.

But he wasn't dumb enough to start a loving nuclear war with the DPRK over a Twitter war, that after all would end his grift machine and also kill everyone. Trump is. Wasn't there word of him talking Trump out of a few, shall we say hotheaded ideas on how to deal with unfriendly countries?

Probably because he was against just up and leaving Syria and Afghanistan.

So this is actually a good thing he’s being fired! This will SURELY mean America’s foreign policy isn’t about to go in new and dangerous directions.

secretary of defense gotobaya rajapaksa is probably too niche a reference, but he's an american citizen! he could be appointed! he even has a shitload of relevant job experience!

he was minister of defense in sri lanka and oversaw the end of the civil war and, uh, incidentally the murder and disappearance of a shitload of Tamils who had the misfortune to live in or near the remaining LTTE holdout areas, or who had otherwise spoken to a suspected LTTE member at some point in their lives

i am not saying he was some magic left wing/liberal hero. he just wasn't bolton or some other out and out chickenhawk psycho and he kept trump from doing some stupid poo poo. i am more scared of who will replace him.
