Is This Acceptable?

There is No Discussion in the US Presidential Campaign:

There is no discussion in the US presidential campaign of the preparations of the ruling class for an immense escalation of war following the elections in November.

Is this acceptable? Does anyone feel we're being handed a 'bait and switch?' Perhaps you don't buy the line of 'immense escalation.' Or, perhaps you look forward to it and hope we DON'T catch on to what's coming.

Thoughts?

War and the 2016 US elections
22 February 2016
Amidst the endless media commentary, debates and
stump speeches by the major candidates for US president,
there is virtually no discussion of the active preparations
of the ruling class for an immense escalation of war
following the elections in November.

The elections themselves are being held under
conditions of expanding militarist violence all over the
world. In the Middle East and North Africa, the Obama
administration launches air strikes in Libya even as
NATO-member Turkey and US-ally Saudi Arabia
consider a ground invasion of Syria. A leading German
newspaper recently commented that a Turkish invasion,
resulting in a conflict with Russian forces backing the
Syrian government, could quickly “mean ending a cold
war [between the US and Russia] and starting a hot one.”


US denunciations of Russia’s role in Syria come amidst
a relentless militarization of Eastern Europe in the two
years since the Western-backed coup in Ukraine. The
right-wing nationalist Baltic states and Poland are being
armed and given a virtual blank check to stage actions
against Russia with the knowledge that they will be
backed by the US and NATO.
