| − | '''John Robert Bolton''' (born November 20, 1948, age {{age|1948|11|20}}) is a [[neocon]] who was surprisingly picked to serve for a brief time as the [[National Security Advisor]] in the [[Trump Administration]] despite obvious ideological disagreements. Apparently his appearances on the generally neoconservative [[Fox News Channel]] got him the job, until he was inevitably fired for constantly advocating for war as neocons do. Bolton was also a senior fellow at the [[American Enterprise Institute]] and is best known for his interim appointment to [[United States]] ambassador to the [[United Nations]] in 2005 and 2006, made necessary by intense [[liberal]] opposition to his confirmation by the [[U.S. Senate]]. He also served in a number of other political positions in the Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II administrations in the [[United States Department of State|State Department]], [[United States Department of Justice|Justice Department]], and the [[United States Agency for International Development|USAID]]. | + | '''John Robert Bolton''' (born November 20, 1948, age {{age|1948|11|20}}) is a [[neocon]] who was surprisingly picked to serve for a brief time as the [[National Security Advisor]] in the [[Trump Administration]] despite obvious ideological disagreements.

| | Bolton is credited for persuading President [[George W. Bush]] for rescinding and thereby completely withdrawing the United States from the [[International Criminal Court]], after President [[Bill Clinton]] had signed the U.S. up for that [[globalist]] court. On September 10, 2018, as National Security Advisor, Bolton announced that the U.S. would prosecute and sanction any judges or prosecutors in the ICC who took action against investigated Americans soldiers. | | Bolton is credited for persuading President [[George W.
