Former U.S. national security adviser John Bolton discusses how Russia and China are seeking to consolidate influence in their respective regions — and why he believes the United States should resist a world divided into spheres of influence.
In this interview with Independence Avenue Media, Bolton addresses Russia’s war in Ukraine, U.S. policy in Venezuela, China’s growing role in the Indo-Pacific, and President Donald Trump’s approach to NATO and U.S. alliances. He also examines the balance of power in the South Caucasus and the broader strategic stakes shaping U.S. foreign policy.
