My Pleasant Dream of America’s Revival Under Trump Was Followed by a Nightmare
Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Mike Whitney, one of the few intelligent and realistic commentators in the United States and Western World, has raised a worthy and demanding question. Did the Deep State permit Trump to win so that they can use him to recruit America’s young men to fight a war for Israel against Iran, a task beyond Kamala’s capability?
Whitney makes a case that those of us excited by our expectations of Trump’s presidency will find deflating. Read it here: https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/trumps-triumph-and-the-firing-of-yoav-gallant/
I myself have been wondering how Trump was going to make America great again when he supports Israel’s genocidal wars. How is a country great, especially in a moral and spiritual sense, when it provides the money and weapons used by Israel to genocide Palestine, to bomb women and children in Lebanon, and to attack Iran in the belief that Washington will come to Israel’s rescue?
No such country can be great.
Moreover, no such country can be disengaged from war. It seems the US military/security complex expects to keep the war profits flowing by committing Trump to a war with Iran. There are plenty of Washington-hardened Zionist neoconservatives in positions of power and influence in Washington to override resistance to the war agenda.
Mike Whitney provides scenes of Israeli celebrations of Trump’s election. Trump’s election is regarded as a green light for war with Iran. The crazed Zionist Netanyahu fired the more sensible Israeli defense minister for telling him that the Israeli military was already over-extended, without a credible war plan, and must not risk war with Iran.
Will Trump understand how serious the situation is? Does Trump and his advisors realize that their foreign policy is being set in place by the Deep State prior to the inauguration in order to keep the war profits flowing?
Does Trump realize that for his supporters making America great again includes military dominance? MAGA Americans are tired of losing wars. They want to win. The military/security complex will have Trump supporters in the streets waving the flag. They will wave the flag and expect Trump to win. It is all part of making America great again. It is a war recipe for disaster.
Will my pleasant dream reported on these pages of America’s prospects of renewal under Trump’s leadership be followed by a nightmare of Trump sucked into disastrous war for Israel’s ambitions and the US military/security complex’s profits? Is America’s dominance and success at war part of “making America great again?” If it is, there will be no renewal of America.
