Trump should ask Jack Keane to be his next national security adviser

The American Conservative's Curt Mills predicted John Bolton's demise as national security adviser. So it's probably worth listening to Mills' suggestions as to who might replace Bolton.

I think two of Mills' five predictions stand out as the most attuned to President Trump's views and style: Douglas Macgregor and Jack Keane. Both are retired career Army officers and both are known for outside-the-box thinking of the kind Trump adores. But Keane would make a superior choice to Macgregor.

First off, there's the distinction between Keane and Macgregor's conception of international order. Where Keane sees alliances such as NATO to the assurance of global stability and democratic order, Macgregor views NATO as a "zombie." The "life ran out of NATO with the demise of the Soviet threat," Macgregor says. That might sound good to Americans rightly frustrated with subsidizing European security, but it's a delusion proven by Russia's continuing penchant for hostility.

I wouldn't want this MacGregor fellow in there and with Jack Keane, it seems like you could have another General Mattis type situation.

Or Bolton for that matter, strong-willed characters though, we don't have a real sense of knowing the exact situation with Bolton, we have educated guesses.

I'm not sure if Keane could be pliant, as Bolton seemed to bend some.  If Bolton didn't, he should have known better.

I'll offer my services for the position.
