Forget US trade tariffs, Donald Trumps real war is coming soon
Don’t get too sidetracked by the trade war that US President Donald Trump has just declared on China. The real one with blood and body bags is coming to a theatre near you soon, judging by the war cabinet he’s putting together.
It’s time to be afraid, very afraid, with John Bolton as the United States’ new national security adviser. Of all the specimens of unhinged humanity in the purported pool of talent he’s been dipping into, Trump had to pull out the most reviled and discredited one.
While Trump has publicly decried the Iraq invasion of 2003 as “a waste of blood and treasure” – both a reasonable admission of wrongdoing and callous euphemism for mass murder and the systematic destruction of an entire nation – he seems to have conveniently forgotten Bolton was one of the key architects and cheerleaders of that genocide by the George W. Bush administration.
Donald Trump should demand denuclearisation in North Korea meeting, new security adviser John Bolton says
He is the stuff that nightmares are made of, a man so hell bent on waging war to further American interests, that he makes the neoconservative ideologues he is erroneously lumped together with seem benign in comparison, with their trope of “spreading democracy” around the world.
And that’s saying something, given that he was too extreme for even the likes of Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, all of whom would be tried at The Hague for war crimes if there was any real justice in this world.
