John Bolton Hates Diplomacy

June 21, 2018 By Richard C. Young

Daniel Larison explains at The American Conservative that National Security Advisor John Bolton does not like diplomacy one bit. Larison says that Bolton’s call for quick talks with North Korea is a sign that he doesn’t want them to succeed in the first place. Any solution that will work will take time to negotiate, and pushing a fast timeline could set the talks up for failure. Larison writes:

John Bolton wants to remind you that he really hates diplomacy:

President Donald Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton says North Korea is facing a “decisive and dramatic choice” on whether to give up its nuclear program and ballistic missiles.

Bolton told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday that the U.S. will find out soon enough because diplomatic engagement will proceed quickly. He says Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and others will be meeting with North Korean officials. Bolton says the U.S. has no interest in lengthy talks [bold mine-DL].

Even if North Korea were prepared to disarm, hammering out the details of how and when this would happen could not happen quickly. Bolton rejects lengthy talks because he has no interest in a diplomatic solution. Any productive negotiations are going to take a long while.

Secretary Mattis offered an accurate assessment of the situation earlier today:

Defense Secretary James Mattis on Wednesday said he is “not aware” of any steps North Korea has taken yet to denuclearize following the historic summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

North Korea has not taken any steps to do this because it is not going to do this. The longer that the president is allowed to pretend that this is going to happen, the worse it will be when he realizes that it won’t.
