israel's choice for 'our' next president;
In late June, President Donald Trump flailed
away with his own particular brand of nondiplomacy at the G20 Summit in
Japan, but it is worthwhile noting on the plus side that his
administration is so inept that it could not even plan and execute a
proper coup in Venezuela. Nor has it been able to concoct sufficient
lies about Iran effective enough to create a casus belli and unleash the
B-52s. There is a certain comfort in knowing that the United States is
now governed by the Three Stooges—“Larry” Trump, “Moe” Pompeo, and
“Curly” Bolton—which means that starting new wars might just be beyond
their cognitive ability to make mischief.
The real irony is that stupidity is both bipartisan and contagious in
the federal government. The Democrats have not quite figured out that
instead of playing identity politics, talking about reparations, gay
rights, “undocumented migrants,” and free college, they should instead
be discussing more important issues, notably the impending nuclear
holocaust being stumbled into by the Trumpsters, which just might bring
to an end life on this planet as we know it.
A college friend recently asked me what my nightmare scenario for a
totally dysfunctional foreign and national security policy might be. I
responded without thinking that it really is all about war and peace,
that the worst case would be the impeachment of a bumbling Trump and his
replacement by a much more capable and vicious Vice President Mike Pence, who actually wants to end the world so he can be raptured up to heaven.
But my answer was wrong. Trump is unlikely to be impeached by a
Senate in which the GOP holds a majority, so Pence’s ascent to the
throne is not currently plausible unless the president suffers a cardiac
arrest after ingesting too many cheeseburgers. The real danger is what
comes after Trump, in 2024. The preferred candidate by Israel and its
lobby, and therefore the prohibitive favorite, is Trump’s former United
Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. If you think Trump is
blindly and blatantly pro-Israel at the expense of American interests,
just wait until you see Haley’s naked self-interest at work...........https://www.globalresearch.ca/israels-choice-u-s-president/5684079
