Trump is 'shredding' credibility with allies while China benefits, former national security advisor John Bolton says
Trump is 'shredding' credibility with allies while China benefits, former national security advisor John Bolton says
He sucks but he's right. One of many strange cases demonstrating that Orange Hitler is even worse than the neocons.
The neocons had an intelligent banality to their evil. They could do things which rocked the boat, but they knew which rules to follow to get what they wanted. Trump isn't limited by these things.
Of course, neocons helped enable Trump.
Bolton you sleazy fuck, STFU.
I know. Isn't it awesome?
It wasn't so long ago people were celebrating the fall of the USSR.
Then came the genocidal wars of the 1990s.
Do you really think the world's biggest military is just going to fade quietly away?
Not in the slightest. But we are an empire in decline. A decline that was already happening before Chump. He just accelerated it. No empire has ever gone down quietly. Neither will ours. But it is going down. This is happening.
Best we can hope for is some kind of soft landing. But I'm expecting balkanization. It'll start with California. They're an economic powerhouse all on their own. Independent of the larger US as the 9th largest exonomy on earth. Texas will try. But it won't go well for them. It'll rejoin Mexico after a couple years of stumbling along on their own with the incompetent leadership they've had since the mid 90s. A lot of Canadian border states will join Canada.
We're in for a bad time. But that's ok. 300 million vs 8 billion is easy math. And without the US' regressive hand at the till this world can progress. Advance.
Oh yea, replacing a near-authoritarian globally dominant country with another full-authoritarian country. What could possibly go wrong!
Except China is a full blown dictatorship fully committed to genocide and land grab their way to the top while the USA can still steer away from it even after everything that‘s already happening.
Bolton is an interesting character in that I believe he has the USA‘s best interest in mind but says and probably did a lot of evil things in the eyes of the rest of the world.
With that in mind I think that, yes, he is absolutely right but it doesn‘t and shouldn‘t be that way. The world needs to be less dependent on China or the USA and maybe here is the chance to do so.
Pro tip: burn a tesla to show your appreciation.
Can't reduce something you never had.
I mean.. isn't that exactly what trump is there to do? He's a russian asset after all, he's not looking out for the usa.
"At this rate, we won't even have enough of a military to invade Iran!!!"
Uh Oh! If Hes WILLING to Say that in PUBLIC just IMAGINE what he's Holding Back for his New BOOK!
