John Bolton wrote an op-ed in the London Daily Telegraph praising Japan's new security and defense doctrine. He also emphasized the importance of Washington and London getting Ukraine right in the next 12 months, as it will have negative consequences in dealing with China, Iran, North Korea, and others. Bolton reported progress in smashing Russia, but those who repeat pro-Russian propaganda in the West have to be silenced. He also suggested that Turkiye should be thrown out of NATO unless it breaks its ties with Russia.
