COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RUSSIA INSIDER
Trump Opens up US Arms
Sales to Kiev, Escalates War in East Ukraine, and Ensures More Russian Aid for
Rebels
Moscow will never
allow the rebels be defeated militarily so all this will do is intensify the bloodshed,
earn Trump increased Russian ire, and earn the US military-industrial complex a
buck or two.
Well said, but unfortunately, America is on a kind of
"roll" or "bender" of demonstrating its belligerence to
everyone everywhere and demanding acknowledgement of its pre-eminence.
It is the terrible influence of the Neocons - who have their
own agenda of aggression and intimidation - coming at exactly the moment a kind
of malaise or sense of America's inevitable relative decline has set in the
Washington establishment, a malaise about a future coming where they no longer
enjoy being kings of the earth.
It is, I believe, an extremely dangerous time we have
entered, perhaps with greater risks ahead than we have experienced in the Cold
War.
I have to confess, sometimes I am glad to be a bit old; the
circumstances really are that dark.
America busies itself leaving behind all the principles of
Enlightenment that it once prided itself on being born into and hurling itself
headlong into a world guided only by power and dominance.
Where does Trump fit in? He is a political maverick, an
outsider, the hijacker of an old-line establishment party who was quickly made
to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.
He got the message, and today this man, in a desperate desire
to win acceptance and admiration from the establishment, is ready to say to
whatever he is asked, "Yes, Sir, yes, Sir, three bags full!"
