In the one area I very much hoped for some advance and change -America’s unprecedented new aggressiveness in the world – Trump has proved himself a waste of space.
He has set a world land-speed record for buckling to the demands of America’s unelected inner-government and doing virtually the opposite of anything we had reason to hope for.
In effect, in foreign affairs, we might just as well have mass-killer Obama still signing the orders.
Obama is responsible for the deaths of at least half a million in his term during the Neocon Wars and the phony CIA-induced Arab Spring plus incalculable damage in the creation of refugees and destruction.
Or we might just as well have psychopath Hillary Clinton, a woman who has a record of damage and hatreds beyond telling. Her role, just at the Benghazi fiasco, has never been discussed, but thoughtful people can piece it together from scraps.
She, with her dead ambassador, was running a dark operation to collect weapons from the murdered Gadaffi’s Libya, where they were spread all over the place in large part owing to the US having dumped carloads of them for the same kind of rag-tag mercenaries they run in Syria today.
That rag-tag bunch’s job in Libya was getting rid of a decent third-world leader the US and Israel hated, a man who gave Libyans everything from free education to good water supplies.
She was also collecting some of the murderous mercenaries. Both these things – weapons and mercenaries – were being transhipped around the Mediterranean to create the horrors we see in Syria. In the process, her ambassador was killed by some of them, who simply saw him as a more accessible and attractive target than Assad. Or perhaps they were angered by some of his demands.
Those weapons transfer virtually certainly included amounts of Sarin gas from the dead Gaddafi’s stockpiles, and I think we all know what happened with those. In Libya, Syria, and others places dear “Women’s candidate,” Hillary, killed thousands of women and their children without the blink of an eye or the shedding of a tear.
The records of those two horrors plus the previous monkey-murderer Bush before made a fair number of us hope for change. Trump here and there gave important clues – not formal campaign promises but revealing personal reflections – that told many we could see some change.
But that has all disappeared, its last outburst being the administration statements about Assad’s future and Syria just shortly before this insane attack and the insane claims of Nikki Haley at the UN.
Russian press today says the United States is the most unpredictable nation in the world, and they are right.
As for Trump’s other, domestic issues, his dumb wall and his ranting about migrants, I have always regarded those parts of him as a waste of space.
We know progress with great powerful states comes very slowly, always, but the hope here was that this iconoclastic billionaire just might be a serious agent of change after fifteen years of pointless wars and the birth of a new Cold War. You need a man like that to stand against the collective, entrenched monsters at CIA and the Pentagon, but he has failed us all.
I fear for our future, and the planet’s, now that America’s blood-lust is up and we see virtually no strength anywhere to oppose it. Certainly pushovers like May and Merkel and Hollande offer nothing. and the UN has been reduced by the same blood-lust to a toothless debating society.
