Hello Darth,
No, I don't want to have war. I very strongly do not want that. And I have to tell you I had grave concerns about Hillary's aspirations in that respect. But I felt that Trump and his unpredictability, coupled with his impetuousness, is a greater risk. I do not believe Biden has any stomach for it. And I hope he would rid the administration of any warmongers.
Bolton is a flaming warmonger. I have a strong fear that Trump will get desperate and decide a war would be a wonderful distraction from investigations.
Fortunately so far, anyway, his mouth is a big enough media distraction and he has not had to resort to that GWB trick.
I do recall the media had just begun to focus on corporate malfeasance just before GWB went there. I always wondered if that was part of the timing in the lead-up propaganda campaign GWB launched to take us to war with Iraq.
You should at least begin to entertain the notion you’ve been wrong about Trump lol. At least in regard to warmongering.
Trump has consistently advocated against ‘stupid wars’—it was one of the reasons I voted for him. ‘Not getting into’ stupid wars may be the most important issue this country faces. One would think, that would be the one issue that would unite both Right and Left.
Sadly, so many on the left are blinded by rage.
Think about what has happened over the past four years: in the run up to the election Trump was cast as a crazed maniac that would have us in a war within a month of his inauguration. But what has happened? Nothing lol. In fact, it can be now be legitimately argued that Trump is the anti war president.
At least he’s anti war with respect to both of his immediate predecessors. How ironic is that?
I share in your apprehensions with Bolton. But Bolton is there to give Trump’s diplomacy some gravitas. If one wants to walk alone at night in a rough area, they take their Pit Bull with them. As long as Trump keeps Bolton on a short leash I’m ok with it.
The problem with Obama wasn’t that he was a warmonger—it’s that he was too weak to stand up to the war addicts that infest our government. We never should have touched Libya with a ten foot pole but we did and it’s now a terrorist Hell Hole where black Africans are sold into slave trade. What a tragedy. Trump may have his warts, but weakness isn’t one of them. Biden is an empty shell and he would be a pushover.
The only democrat candidate that has any sense in that regard is Tulsi Gabbard. She talks a lot about what she terms the ‘eternal war addicts’ and Gabbard knows that any president who gets elected has to confront them and keep them in check. Sadly, she may not even make the first round of democrat debates.
If you are truly anti war you should at least consider voting for Trump. Or at least back him vs the eternal war addicts. Because they are a much bigger threat to this country than Putin’s Russia ever thought about being.
