Hours after US President Trump announced that H.R. McMaster had departed as national security adviser and would be replaced by John Bolton — a longtime detractor of Iran, Iraq, Russia and North Korea, among others — Russia was among the first to react to the news. “Bolton, along with Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, was an ardent supporter of the war in Iraq.
