We at Weird IR are watching this development with great interest. Not just because Bolton is now one of the most influential US foreign policymakers-- who will be steps away from the West Wing-- but also because his persona has been used by Iranian hackers to steal passwords and sensitive information from some of DC's elites. We covered this story in 2014, but you can revisit it here. In short: If John Bolton wants to connect with you on LinkedIn, tread carefully.
While we have you... did you know that our book is coming out soon? That's right! Weird IR: Deviant Cases in International Relations is hitting shelves in August. More information to follow.
