COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN
Everyone who cherishes peace hopes for Trump.
He has a great many faults, and this writer is not even a
conservative, but Trump is a strong and independent-minded individual who may
just be able to rein in the Pentagon and security services, now virtually out
of control under the ineffectual hand of Obama. We have war in half a dozen
places and more threatened, including Obama’s insane efforts at the very
borders of Russia and in the South China Sea.
Trump has spoken words on international affairs we are not
used to hearing from Washington, refreshingly open and intelligent words, words
which have marked him as an enemy of the establishment, earning him an all-out
assault from the very political figures and corporate news media who have given
us our world of mass killing and threats of more war, and those words stand out
from all the other publicity clutter around him.
As for Hillary, she is a gift from the gods to the
professional killing class in Washington. She is time-tested and thoroughly
bought-and-paid-for in the fields of killing and love of war.
