Need an expert? Who else but John Bolton of course!

Round-up of year's political events by James McNaughty (I thought he was long retired or dead?) on the BBC had John Bolton as the "expert" commenting on the conflict in Ukraine. Putin's conquest of Ukraine was just the first step in invading the Baltic states, the rest of Europe and beyond etc etc. And as I listened to this garbage, I found it really difficult (well, impossible actually) to comprehend how even BBC editors in their ivory-tower newsrooms could actually think seriously of inviting this war-mongering dinosaur onto the programme, a man so out-of-touch and forgotten, not to say discredited, you might almost believe they were doing it for satirical reasons. Can you imagine the news conference at which some bright spark suggested resurrecting Bolton (and moustache) from his tomb and putting him on the air? IN 2023 for gawds sake!!! In any sane world it would be like a Bateman cartoon. But not at the cutting-edge fingers-on-the-pulse beeb apparently. Who ARE these fucking people?
