Today, the United States is paying dearly for the cult that has been deliberately established by U.S. presidents, the media, Hollywood, the Pentagon, and the grifters who have made an industry of collecting money to “honor” the heroes of World War 2 and thus building the cult, while simultaneously knowing full well knowing that our so-called “Greatest Generation” was exactly that and so needed none of its burnishing and hurrahs.

Those men went into the service to fight a war because their country was attacked, and so it was the right thing to do. They didn’t fight for Roosevelt – who seems to have known Pearl Harbor would be attacked — nor for fame, nor for the love of fighting There was no enthusiasm among those men for going to war – as there was in spades among their predecessors in 1917 – and when those who survived came back, their memories of the war more often than not remained in the minds of the men who fought it and were nor shared far and wide.

Indeed, many of the veterans never shared their gruesome experiences with their wives or their children, as the latter came of age. In their silence and quiet pride over a job well done was their true greatness. They let the media, politicians, and historians who never served create a cult that has now come back to burn our republic repeatedly, but probably never so fiercely as in the current war with Iran.

War is never about anything other than victory, and a war that is worth fighting is never won without a profusion of blood, severed limbs, damaged minds, and the complete mangling of the enemy. It is never, ever, about simply sailing carrier task groups into foreign seas and being cock-sure that they will carry the day against the foe. Indeed, when Americans fight against men whose attitude toward war is similar to theirs, the U.S. servicemen always encounter a bloody and backbreaking task, as we are now experiencing in the war with Iran.

The Iranians, like Americans, are fighting for home, nation, family, and faith. Their fighting is also fueled by the pent-up anger acquired over nearly a half-century of U.S. and Western ridicule, hatred, and defamation, which has been joyously hurled at their ancient culture and country. This is not to say that the Iranian government has not been responsible for murderous attacks on U.S. military personnel via surrogates like Hezbollah and via its own military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both sides have drawn blood from the other, but the only reason for that reality is the fact that the United States government, since long before the Ayatollahs took power in Tehran, has been the reliably mindless champion of Israel’s security and existence, both of which are of utter irrelevance to the security of the United States.

Indeed, the close relationship between American leaders and Israel contributes nothing to American security. That relationship does nothing but undermine U.S. security at every turn, from Israel publicly paying all but one member of the U.S. Congress to do its bidding, thereby controlling it, to conducting espionage against the American military and then selling the stolen data and technology to China and Russia, to running Epstein and his espionage, pedophile, and blackmail organization to further undermine U.S. security, and to controlling every American president from Truman via payoffs, political threats, and or physical threats such as those manifested in the deaths of the Kennedy brothers and likely Charlie Kirk.

Currently, billionaire Jewish-Americans, the ADL, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and 20 million pro-Israel American Evangelicals (AKA: Christian Zionists) are working to negate the protections provided to Americans by the 1^st Amendment of the Constitution. Imagine, if you will, how proud those Christian Zionists must be of being able to brag that they have helped the murderous Israelis permanently reduce the Christian population of Palestine from eight percent to three percent. Israeli operatives in Congress and elsewhere also have worked their way deeply into the U.S. military. Reports show that we now have commanding officers in the U.S. Navy who have told their crews that they are currently striking a blow for the creation and expansion of Greater Israel; some sailors and troops are wearing a patch expressing the same support; and our foolish Secretary of Defense is wearing a tattoo of the Crusaders’ cross on his chest. We also see that these so-called American leaders never mention the fact that Americans visiting Israel are spat upon by our imagined Israeli allies.

It is an oddity of the first order that in a purportedly Christian nation like America, so much of the population of believers and most of the federal and state governments and their bureaucracies proudly support Israel, the greatest enemy of the United States and its effort to suborn the entire nation to its anti-Christian and imperialistic whims. In our minds, at least, one can only hope that the Christian God is planning a very warm welcome into hell for the Israelis and all those Americans who have been the well-paid abettors and facilitators of their innumerable crimes against the United States and much of the rest of the world.

There are times when the United States government’s foreign policy is just plain mad. The last few weeks have been such an occasion as the U.S. military gears up and deploys forces for a war with the Iranian regime. This sort of drill has occurred against the bad-nation of the moment so many times in my life that I tend to skim over some of media coverage once I can identify who the president-of-the-day has identified as the most-dire threat to American liberty. We have survived such threats repeatedly. The mighty Noriega threat was squashed, powerful Granada was tamed, Vietnam became a friend and trading partner of the United States after Kissinger sold-out the U.S. military by welcoming America’s defeat, and after 9/11, the United States Government and its flag-officer geniuses conducted a combined 30-plus years of interventionist wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, not only losing both wars but achieving the real goals for which all  interventionist wars are conducted, namely the largest reduction in the civil liberties of Americans since Lincoln ruined both the Union and the Constitution while running his unconstitutional war against the legally seceded Confederate Republic. Today we stand on the edge of a new interventionist war Iran, perhaps because the last attack on that country’s nuclear capability –  which Trump was ordered to conduct by Netanyahu, the ADL, and Trump’s Jewish-American donors — was less effective than claimed by the Department War and the President.

Today we’re told by our government to prepare for war with Iran, a war for which the U.S. military has been deploying in recent weeks. The question that should occur in the minds of all Americans is why are we again going to war with Iran. Indeed, what is the genuine reason we are again headed toward war with Iran. What has Iran done to us? The answer to that question is obvious, not very much, but here is a brief list of the claims that come to mind for the words of all those congressman and senators who get regular checks from AIPAC.

–When the CIA and Mi6 overthrew the Iranian Shah in 1953, they thereby started a ball rolling down the road to leading to continual geopolitical disasters for America. That ball was labeled; “Hey, U.S. military and intelligence leaders, why would you make Iran into an enemy of the United States. Are You Nuts”. Two quick answers come to mind (1.) Because the U.S. Congress has refused to reclaim its sole power under the Constitution to declare war and (2.) Because Israel ordered us to do so.

–Next the saddest excuse for a U.S. president until Biden, Jimmy Carter, made America look like a perfect ass after the Ayatollah’s boys seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held hostage many of its staff. Now there was a casus belli. But what did Carter and his generals do? They adopted a clearly halfwit plan to stage a helicopter rescue of the Americans hostages. The April, 1980 mission failed to do so, as the planners apparently did not know sand could play hell with engines if they were not adequately protected from the well-known ability of sand to gum-up the works of engines of all kinds. Ironically, this ridiculous response to an attack on the U.S. embassy in Tehran was the first or two genuine incidents that called for a large and highly destructive U.S. military responses. The second was 9/11, which only occurred because there was strong, durable, and successful opposition to more than ten chances to kill bin Laden well before the 9/11 attack in the Clinton and Bush administrations, including from CIA, the FBI, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

–On 23 October 1983, the Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah organization killed more than 240 U.S. Marines in a barracks in Beirut, after President Reagan’s foolish decision to send the Marines to help end the civil war in Lebanon and let his generals to place the force in an area that was already infested by Hezbollah and other Islamist groups. In essence, Reagan rattled his war saber, Hezbollah responded audaciously, the Marines got massacred, and the Iranians had good chuckle.

–During the decades of the Afghan and Iraq wars, U.S. presidents all but screamed bloody murder about Iranian forces – especially Hezbollah and the IRGC – killing American service personnel while they were fighting and losing wars Afghanistan and Iraq. Well, can there really be anyone who does not know why that was happening? The Iranian regime allowed military actions against U.S. troops because the United States and the rest of NATO parked their over-confident butts inside Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which have long borders and longer relations with Iran The real surprise was not that Iran ordered attacks on the U.S. and NATO interventionists, but that they were able to do so by muzzling their laughter long enough to watch the U.S. military’s flag officers endlessly fail to make their operations look pertinent to the capabilities of the Superpower they represented, rather than operations designed by class of ROTC trainees.

So, as this piece is finished there are still U.S. military forces from all services flowing into the region around Iran. The United States has never operated a major military force on the ground in Iran, and it has had virtually no regular on-the-ground intelligence-collection In Iran since the U.S. embassy and its officers were seized in 1983. The importance of the latter is that the planners of a monster air war on Iran, which is said to be Trump’s first choice, probably will not have definite data about what the Mullahs have been planning as a regime-survival strategy since they took power in 1972. If the air war is insufficient to solve the Iran problem to Israel’s satisfaction, the sole remaining option probably is an unnecessary interventionist ground war, the kind of war which U.S. flag officers and their commanders-in-chief have failed to win – despite several dozen opportunities – since Japan surrendered in September, 1945.

As ever, the interventionist road is an unconstitutional and rocky one that promises nothing but disaster, expense, death, domestic disunity, and the breaking of another president’s pledge to stay out of wars that are none of America’s concern. This is an irrefutable fact for any American who does not remain intoxicated in the now archaic Cult of World War Two, which is used religiously by presidents, congresses, the media, donation seekers, and is pursued for riches, fame, and, the ability to tell Americans that the U.S. never losses a war. On this point, think here of folks such as Senators Graham, Cotton, Cruz; anyone named Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, or Obama, vicious Israel-First Americans like Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, that clear agent of a foreign power Jonathan Greenblatt and his America-hating ADL, and currently all but one of the U.S. congressmen and Senators who are on the payroll of Israel and its wealthy U.S. citizen henchmen in receiving bribes that are said to be election contributions.

If the foregoing paragraph seems harsh … tough.  I have long argued that Israel is not worth one U.S. dollar, nor the life of a single U.S. marine, sailor, or airman, and that Iran would be a minimal threat to the United States if it were not for the fact that every president, starting with Truman, has preferred to protect Israel and yield to well-funded-American demands, rather than the protecting republic’s sovereignty and population. For decades. we have heard Israeli leaders and their countless American shills insist that “Israel has a Right to Exist”, which is a clear lie. No nation – including the United States — has the right to exist if it cannot protect itself by itself. Let’s leave Israel to defend itself against Iran, and led Americans look homeward to solve their own problems, which consists of long list of tangible economic , electoral, debt, and social troubles, but starts with the corruption, expense, and corpses that flow from Israel’s ability to dominate the U.S. and state governments, to repress Americans and their Constitution through some of the reportedly Epstein zed leaders of the U.S. political, banking, business, media, and NGO systems that are its allies, and its ability to whistle America’s soldier-children into their wars whenever they deliberately create a situation in the Middle East that can be used to order the U.S.  president of the day to fight another unnecessary interventionist war on its behalf.

Finally, it is not only useful but essential to remember that as we prepare to celebrate the 250^th Anniversary of American independence this July, the tragic fact is that American independence and sovereignty began ending not only with signing the NATO Treaty (1949), but also with the founding of Israel (1948) and Truman recognition thereof ten days after. The presidents following Truman have sealed the deal and now our presidents and military personnel are forever at its war-loving, expansionist, and America-hating service.

For those not living in Virginia, it is worth explaining about the quickly forming disaster of Abigail Spanberger’s Democrats and their intensely anti-American administration. Among the topics covered below are guns, crime, infanticide, and the evolving development of Spanberger as the “Crime Queen”.

After Supreme Court decisions that closely mirrored the original intent of the Founders — which is to ensure all American citizens had the choice of accepting governmental tyranny or not, and for those who choose to resist tyrannical rule they would be able to arm themselves with weapons that were a match for the would-be tyrants and so permit a chance of erasing the threat from the nation —  Spanberger and her demented and anti-constitutional lot seem to want to make sure that the Founders’ liberty-saving guarantee is erased from the lives of those Virginians who prefer their Constitution to legislation that sounds as it was authored by Spanberger’s murder-loving Attorney General, Bad Bunny, or any of the other depraved freaks who Democrats drool over and adore.

On 5 February 2026, Spanberger’s legislative machine passed a bill that ended the constitutional right of Virginians to own assault rifles, or to own magazines for any rifle that has a capacity of more than ten rounds. This bill is irrefutably unconstitutional – Spanberger was warned by Trump’s  DOJ on this score before the bill was passed –and you can bet your lunch that no Virginia law enforcement agency will give a good damn about trying to strip the guns from the Democratic Parties’ terrorist organizations – BLM, ANTIFA, etc. – thereby leaving normal Virginians at risk not only from those terrorists and their out-of-state allies, but from their state government’s armed wing, which includes a Virginia Police Union that supported her election, and any future federal government formed by the Democratic Party. This law simply cannot stand because of the whims of a carpetbagger like Spanberger and her cabinet, which includes as Attorney General a madman who writes of his eagerness to murder his political rivals and their children, and a Police Union that has set itself up to be used as the thug-troopers who disarm Virginians.

Then there is Spanberger’s regime obvious intention to keep the Democratic Party in the race to become the leading mass-murder organization of all time. Their agenda includes traditional baby-murdering – a process that the Democrats worship with glee – not only by the usual means, but also by denying parents their right to prevent their youngsters from deciding for themselves whether or have their genitals chopped off on the road to suicide-by transgenderism, an outcome of which they have not been appraised. It’s an oddity that these Democrats, who claim to be the champions of humanity and individual freedom today stand as an organization that has knowingly murdered c. 64 million un-or-just-born human beings, a total that exceeds Hitler’s supposed 6-million total kill by ten times. The Democrats are well along on a path toward passing Mao and Stalin for the honor of being the all-time-mass-murder. Odd for a party which has so many tens of thousands of Jews as members and/or funders. This suggests that the phrase “never again” is no longer in fashion and/or applies only to Jews.

Finally, and not surprisingly. Spanberger and her merry band of morons, ex-cons, and aspiring murderers also are planning to pass the “New Look Law” which is reported to give the worst of the worst criminals – drug-traffickers – one of Spanbergers’s cabinet members is a former dope dealer — rapists, murderers, and attackers of police officers, a chance to appeal for a reduced sentence or even a pardon. I suppose this makes sense in the minds of Democrats, as they are biggest single criminal organization in the United States and could always use a few more experienced hands at the wheels of corruption, sexual depravity, election rigging, financial fraud, bribe-taking, infanticide, and keeping new-borns comfortable until it is their time for execution. All of this of course, also would cement Spanberger’s new title as the “Crime Queen”, and with a such a grand and accurate title how could this clothed-like-Hillary Karen not be the Democrat president for president in 2028.

“Spanberger’s call for service to state and community mirror’s the Founder’s nation” Richmond Post Dispatch

In the history of post-1865 America there is at least one thing that all southerners can count on and that is the Democrats will always behave as if reconstruction and the federal occupation of the south must never end and that the latest application of such policies must be strengthened, expanded, and made more punishing. Just as we pass the day that honors Martin Luther King and one of the five greatest Americans, Robert Edward Lee, the new governor of Virginia – a carpetbagger from New Jersey, a flamboyant joke, and an anti-American employed by the CIA named Abigail Spanberger has been inaugurated as the governor of Virginia, the home of American independence and liberty. Strait out of the box, she and her party have published a list of her priorities as governor. That list reeks of the North’s effort to wreck the defeated South economically, to assure that Southerners would become ever poorer, and to continue to speed the death of the 1787 Constitution and replace it with a fully consolidated central government responsible only to their bigtime donners, foreign money-bags shopping for treason, and  what the Democrats pathetically describe as their values; and to make the south forever subordinate to northern business, industry, banking and viscous authoritarianism. This process is to be advanced by carpet-baggers like Spanberger and her mad-for-murder Attorney General Jay Jones in an attempt to finish transforming Virginians into forelock-pulling workers of all colors who specialize in always answering “yes massa”, and not for the benefit of working people, Virginia, or the republic, but for the fatal cancer known as the New World Order and/or the Deep State.

Only a day after her inauguration, Spanberger – who always appears to be dressed in Hillary Clinton’s hand-me-downs — has published a list of her priorities that are aimed at making the poor of Virginia poorer, to ignore the 2^nd Amendment and disarm Virginians via such taxation, as a $5OO sales tax on firearm suppressors, a ban on falsely called assault weapons and large capacity magazines – “large capacity” is defined as ten rounds — and an 11-percent tax on firearms and ammunition. In addition, she also wants to prohibit the outdoor shooting of a firearm on land of less than 5 acres, this presumably to make sure her party’s beloved illegal maniacs, Muslim fanatics, and the Democrat Party’s very own terrorists, BLM and ANTIFA, can get to and then away safely from any residence or business they choose to burn to the ground with its inhabitants. Under Spanberger the Virginia government will also seek to strengthen the already in-place fix of Virginia’s elections by making it illegal to hand-count ballots, extending the deadline for ballot curing to one week after the election, expanding ranked-choice voting, and to allow people to cast votes electronically through the internet, all of which constitutes a studied effort to subvert elections in favor of Democrats, their horde of crazed white Karens, and the other criminals with which both are allied..

Then comes Spanberger’s measures, ones that only could be hatched by a power-hungry, dyed-in-the-wool, white Democratic woman, one who is full to the brim with hate and anger, and is clearly crazed, just like the tens-of thousands of other crazy Karens who are serial liars and are now screaming and running down ICE officers against across the republic. The new Governor – or Governette? – also wants to remove mandatory minimum sentences for criminals; replace Columbus Day with “Indigenous Peoples Day”, probably complete with real scalping demonstrations, featuring white men picked by crazed Karens; guaranteed free education for illegal aliens; and a ban on the arresting illegal aliens in courthouses. Spanberger and her fellow Democratic also want to continue driving workaday Virginians into dire poverty. She intends to pass a 4.3-percent sales on Uber Eats, Amazon, and other delivery services., a 3.8-percent investment tax on top of state income tax; higher hotel taxes; new personal property taxes on landscaping equipment; and orders for localities to install speed cameras.

Because all democrats are blood-thirsty wretches, Frau-Butcher Spanberger wants new laws to make it illegal to approach somebody at an abortion clinic. This, of course, is the cause that Democrats and its Karen Corps love above all others. And it must be admitted, that since an addled Supreme Court Justice wrote the opinion in which he found killing infants legal, the Democrats haven’t missed a beat, or is it a death knell.  Spanberger and her caring party have racked up the murder of a about 63 million infants, humans murdered in both the womb and just after birth. I guess the latter means some Democrats are brave enough to kill new borns face-to-face. Anyway, Spanberger and her party are now in the big leagues of the world’s mass murders. They – with the AMA — have murdered ten times more innocents than Hitler leaving him and other small-timers like Pol Pot in the dust. Indeed, the Democrats are more than half way to catching and passing the mass-murder records of Joe Stalin and Mao Tse Tung. To do her bit for infanticide, she’s intends to do more to speed up the chase after Joe and Mao. Spanberger intends to enshrine in the Virginia Constitution a law that permits killing a baby at any old time, in the name of freedom for all – except the infant human being.

There it is, so do not look for any evidence that Spanberger gives a good damn about reducing the cost of living of for any Virginians that’s not in her clique. During the campaign, she and her surrogate Karens wept crocodile tears about the lack of affordability for Virginians, and pledged they would fix that problem. There is not a word even vaguely related to that goal in the new governor’s list of fascist to-dos. Within six months, Governor Karen will make Virginians know what it was like for their ancestors to be ruled by abusive and power-and-money grabbing northern carpetbaggers.

The above quote form the Richmond Times Dispatch was right to mention the Founders, although they got the Founders reaction ass-backwards. Spanberger and her gang’s intent, rhetoric, and actions surely would have made the Founders repeat and act on the following words of Thomas Jefferson and John Dickinson. Those men spoke against Britain’s tyrannical government – and, for us, Spanberger’s version thereof — for commonsense and liberty, for the other Founders, and for most Americans and, wrote the following in what perhaps is America’s most important state paper:

“We are reduced to the alternative of chusing an unconditional submission to the tyranny of irritated ministers, or resistance by force. -­‐-­‐ The latter is our choice. -­‐-­‐ We have counted the cost of this contest, and find nothing so dreadful as voluntary slavery. -­‐-­‐ Honour, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them, if we basely entail hereditary bondage upon them.”

“We gratefully acknowledge, as signal instances of the Divine favour towards us, that his Providence would not permit us to be called into this severe controversy, until we were grown up to our present strength, had been previously exercised in warlike operation, and possessed of the means of defending ourselves. With hearts fortified with these animating reflections, we most solemnly, before God and the world, declare, that, exerting the utmost energy of those powers, which our beneficent Creator hath graciously bestowed upon us, the arms we have been compelled by our enemies to assume, we will, in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverance, employ for the preservation of our liberties; being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live slaves.” (1)

Maduro gone … Now what? … Back on the interventionist road in Venezuela and elsewhere?

Well, one shoe has dropped in Venezuela, and the military personnel who conducted the operation executed a job that was very well done. In this evolving story, though, we still have a number of throw backs to the dangers that hide in any act of American interventionism. The first we are already hearing about; namely, who is going to rule in Caracas? A new regime did not succeed the other there in any comprehensive and reliable sense, and there are no Americans who have enough knowledge of the region to help make a new government work and, in any event, one must doubt whether the Venezuelans will be content with a successor regime that carries a made-by-USA trademark. And as our two guests tonight – Brandon Waechter and Luis Quinonez – said the politicians that likely will form the new government are in many ways more politically ideological, on the socialist/communist side, than were their predecessors.

We also have learned that we are now engaged not only in anti-narcotics struggle, but in a battle to control Venezuela’s vast oil resources, but first Americans have to pay for the compete rebuilding of the country’s oil-harvesting infrastructure. Last Friday’s well-staged meeting with the leading U.S. oil executives and President Trump seemed to have left the Venezuelans to watch American businessman restore the country’s oil sector. Finding smiling U.S. oil executives at a meeting with the President of the day always makes me reach for my wallet and try to hide it from the administration’s next step, which in our history is always tax breaks, incentive payments, and most any other method that can be constructed to make sure the taxpayers – especially folks cooking breakfast at the Waffle house of pouring coffee at Dunkin’ – pay the freight for the oil industry’s eager willingness to “help America”. Maybe Trump et. al. can design a program where Big Oil can step into the same ring with those other lovers of the working man and woman, Big Pharma, Israel, NATO. and the U.S. Arms industry,

–The whole Venezuela drama, perhaps helpfully, raises the question how to deal with those leaders who the president-of-the-day defines as lethal threats to U.S. national security. While the U.S. military is reported to have suffered no deaths in the Venezuela operations, that is a rare, almost unheard of event in scarlet-hued history of American interventionism – the key adjectives for which are bloody, costly, and failed. If a new pro-U.S. Venezuelan regime, and acceptable democratic government – even if the latter is a clear farce – does not fall magically in place, the odds are that Trump’s government will not walk away from its predictable failure, but will redouble efforts to succeed, if only because the Republicans in the Congress and Senate are pro-war, come rain or come shine. The same goes for the Democrats, but their motivation is less war- love, than it is a chance to fake being patriots and to set the stage for industrial-level thieving from a ridiculously bloated war-time defense budget. If a Venezuela war comes, the American military’s blood will flow, whatever is left of the treasury will be drained, taxes will go up, as will back-door monetary support for Israel, and civil liberties will be further constricted. Although Americans are urged by a variety of sources to stay loyal to the “plan” the plan sketched above is the plan that has been best loved since 1945. It has never delivered peace and democracy, it only delivers death, a new herd of incompetent Flag Officers, and another step toward what is looks like the approaching demise of the republic.

Finally, a few  more words on an issue that has bedeviled me since I went to work with for CIA in 1982 and entered into a government-wide culture that is comfortable at following presidential orders and support unconstitutional and unnecessary interventionist wars that are always lost and only succeed in expending the lives of America’s sons and daughters, wasting vast economic resources, and killing much of the population of the country picked for military intervention, most often because U.S. leaders dislike the leader of the country designated for attack.

Now, the business of war is killing; most simply put by the magnificent Confederate Cavalry Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who said “war means fighting and fighting means killing.” Now, Forrest’s statement is factual, clear, and irrefutable. But over my CIA career and since, I have seen – in every interventionist war – of which there have been a ton — that the enemy of America always seem to be defined not as a country or a group, but as an individual leader: Saddam, Mullah Omar, Gadhafi, Osama bin Laden, Noriega, Putin, Zi, Castro, the Ortega brothers, and multiple Ayatollahs for starters. Once U.S. leaders begin to speak of going to war against an enemy who is a person and not a country, the gates of hell blow wide open. Whenever a country is unfortunate enough to have its leader designated by a U.S. administration as a dire threat to U.S. national security, you can bet on three-sure things: (1.) the country of the leader is going to suffer massive human casualties and thoroughly ravaged infrastructure, (2.) the U.S. military will suffer heavy casualties among its troops, there will be the dead, the wounded, the maimed, and the mentally harmed. Likewise, the economic expense of the war will be grotesque, as will the level of payoffs quietly conveyed to the members of Congress from the arms makers, and (3.) there will be no democratic political system in the country that got smashed to pieces because of U.S. and western dislike of its leader.

Finally, a question about the above. Why have the reputedly mature and well-educated men and women who have been elected to the presidency and Congress since 1945 fought so many unnecessary and counterproductive interventionist wars since? Well, the answer is mainly because American politicians in both parties love to wage war, but are unwilling to offend what they falsely describe as the world’s common values, which are really only the values of the far left, fascists, and globalists. The American president, government, military, and intelligence community are hobbled by an utterly mad and cowardly “respect” for international norms which have no contact point with commonsense. The only norms that America and Americans are bound to respect are those norms and commonsense that are grounded in America’s experience and traditions. Those norms include in the sector of war, refusing to get involved in other people’s wars, refusing to go to war based on sympathy for another country or for reasons that are easily understood as ill-thought-through efforts to improve the U.S. economy; the eternally smart ignoring rhetoric that defames the United States and go about the nation’s business; never elect politicians who speak positively of the glories of the post-1945 international community, the essential role played by the UN; and the absolute necessity of half-assed alliances like the NATO Treaty, all of which have been used to force the U.S. to go to war for a depraved and authoritarian Western Europe without the approval of Congress; lastly to never deal with any Globalists; these are people upon which intelligence communities should be targeted to destroy as aggressively and quickly as possible

If America can get the heads of its political leaders screwed on correctly in terms of acting internationally only if the there is a genuine threat to the U.S., of which there have been none since the end of the Cold War, save for that of China  — which was only possible because of the willingness of America’s industrialists to abandon the United States for the Orient, and  a braindead Congress and multiple presidents that allowed China to become a member of the World Trade Association – and Russia, which is a notable threat today because of the Biden administration’s widespread traitorousness that got the republic neck-deep in an war between Russia and Ukraine, which has never been a serious national threat to America until until Democrats, Republicans, State Department officials, intelligence officers, military leaders, and politicians found that they could make fortunes off the blood of others, and displayed their lust for lucre by stealing a good deal of the money wasted on Zelensky’s criminal government and convincing many terminally stupid Americans that Ukraine was worth anything more than a bucket of spit.

Interventionism is among the deadliest threats to the survival of the American republic. The trail back toward the nirvana of General Washington’s idea of America First lies in abandoning the dufus idea that single individual leaders of Third World rat holes are a credible threat to the survival and liberty of the United States and its people. When such made-for-war-lovers foreign leaders appear on the international scene, and if we have a presidential administration that believes the threat he or she poses is serious, we must send a team of Marine snipers to infiltrate the country and kill the bastard. In so doing, a lot of shit-bird leaders from foreign governments will moan and cry, NGOs will weep and damn the president, and America-hating European governments and the Vatican will announce their hate for American nationalism. All of that is just noise and even amusing as many of these countries cannot defend themselves or survive economically without the United States. For Americans who would join or agree with these weeping critics, I would simply ask is the life of a Saddam, a Mullah Omar, or an Osama Bin Laden anywhere near worth the life of one U.S. Marine, soldier, aviator, or sailor – especially if he was your child — let alone the 10,000 American military personnel killed going after Saddam in Iraq and Mullah Omar and Bin Laden in Afghanistan? The answer cannot be anything but no. And you can take it from me, there is no world leader that can prevent an American sniping team from success. We could, for example, have killed or captured Bin Laden almost any time after the spring of 1997. Why didn’t we? Because CIA leaders, American presidents, and other political leaders either feared the world media damning them if they succeeded or failed, and so never let its intelligence or military forces to give it a go. When thinking about this, doesn’t almost seem that there must have been another reason that Bin Laden’s life was spared just long enough to allow the 9/11 raids to be planned and executed and thereby make him expendable?

–Under Trump’s order, the U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife and brought them to the United States to face the music. Several U.S. military personnel were wounded and a helicopter was beat up, but all personnel involved and the helicopter were recovered. The story now is that Maduro may also be a key to finally bringing closure to the rigged elections America has suffered through since at least 1920. Maduro’s lieutenants are reported to be in charge of producing the vote-counting machines that have been used for fixing U.S. elections, and that operation would never be conducted without the full knowledge of Venezuela’s President. How credible a witness Maduro would be against the legion of Democrats and NGOs who ran the fixed voting is hard to know, but if Trump and his crew actually have the proof of the fixing-crimes they claim to hold, Maduro’ presence in the United States, and the knowledge held in his head, may prompt some of those vote-fixing Democratic Chieftains to seek plea deals at an early date, and thereby get some of the better prison cells, if they are not already taken by their Somali employers. For myself, the topping on this cake would be to find that Israel and or its serving or retired Unit 8200 cyber-specialists have some hand in the crime of election-fixing, which for a foreign country should be regarded as an act of war.

Trump stands today as man who has taken a chance on mucking up his political future career, and who still faces many Republicans and Democrats that would like to see him roasting in hell. But he prevailed in Venezuela in defending America as he said he would and, so far, U.S. actions in that country have not led to another feckless interventionist effort to build a democracy there. Trump has faced a good deal of media criticism over Venezuela for several months – as well as a goodly amount from this space – but today he looks like aces and surely is America is better off.

But the issue of U.S. relations with the Southern Hemisphere is still full of problems. The morons who cannot see that the UN, international law, and Globalism have done nothing but bring on wars since 1945 should go suck eggs. 80-plus years after the UN’s founding it has proven itself capable of only mass rape by its forces, severe anti-Americanism, extortion by its officers, and playing a key role in Covid, which killed 30 Million people around the world. But these morons still hold power in many places, even though they are not worth a tinker’s damn in the contemporary world. Indeed, they are capable only of deciding on their next lethal scam. Likewise, the three institutions have proven eternally feckless in stopping war, while being eternally eager to destroy Western democracy and constitutionalism wherever they are found.

All this said, America is still faced with the severe constitutional problem of having presidents who go to war without the approval – by a recorded and televised vote – of the Congress. Most Americans could not give a good-god-damn about either international law or its experts, which invariably, in the post-1945 era, have worked with a passion to tear down the West. Given this record, very few Americans are much worried about the what international lawyers, judges, the UN and their shrill complaints about Trump’s successful effort to seal the border and gun-down every drug-runner he can find and sink their ships and kill their sailors, whether on the boats or in in the water. What Americans care about is their kids, their jobs, their homes, their liberties their republic, and their Constitution. And, on the latter point, lies the country’s stark and dangerous-to-liberty dilemma.

The U.S. Constitution unequivocally demands U.S. presidents secure the majority approval of Congress before going to war. Trump and all presidents since 1945 have gotten a grade of “F” on this score. And all of the post-1945 wars fought without a congressional declaration of war have had a negative on impact on every aspect of life most treasured by Americans, especially the waste of their kids’ lives and the reduction of civil liberties that every post-1945 war has produced. Presidential wars are War-Lord wars, not the wars of a constitutional democracy. America has been lucky so far to have survived eight-decades of deliberate trampling of the Constitution. But luck never, ever, lasts forever. Trump is slowly digging America out of the Democratic made economic abyss, but if he comes away from the Maduro operation with enthusiasm for more and larger military interventions, he may well finally finish off the American republic.

When you stop to think about it, America, since 1917, have been plagued by presidents who won election by promising to keep the republic out of wars. Indeed, Trump is far from being the worst of the lot. In 1916, for example, President Woodrow Wilson won reelection largely on the basis of the campaign slogan “He kept us out of war!”.  Wilson and the daft Congressional majority went to war against a German nation that posed precisely zero threat to the United States and its people. The claim of a great threat to American citizens by German submarines, was actually made somewhat true due to Wilson’s mad assertion that U.S. citizens have the historical and legal rights to travel on any ship they decided to take even if the chosen ship belonged to an enemy of Germany, whether it was British, French, Italian, or any other ship owned by a member or dependent of the anti-German alliance. Had Wilson possessed even a semblance of commonsense, and he had ignored his war-eager Secretary of State Robert Lansing, he would have known that it was absurd to expect Germany and its allies to refuse to attack the enemy’s ships – many of which carried guns, explosives, and ammunition, including large ocean-liners – simply because U.S. citizens booked passage on such a ship. Ever the fool, Wilson could have ended the issue on which his declaration of war was based by refusing passports to any American planning to cross the Atlantic on a ship owned by Britain or its allies. He refused to do so and war came. Also idiotic was the claim by Wilson, his domestic political allies, and the leaders of the Allied governments, delivered via their endless bleating about the severe threat of Germany becoming the world’s dominant power. It seems likely that Wilson, and later President Franklin Roosevelt, did not know how to read a map. They both needed an honest aide capable of reading a map for them, and one who also possessed some knowledge about Germany’s population numbers and outlook. With such data, Wilson and Roosevelt would have known that odds against Germany becoming the dominant world power in either era were simply insurmountable.

Enter every U.S. president since Roosevelt – save, for the most part, Ronald Reagan – each of whom found life-and-death threats to the United States from any number of rat-trap countries that ultimately defeated the U.S. forces sent to smash them for what was always an imaginary and much over-hyped threat.

Sadly, President Trump is becoming a past-master at finding enemies that are hopeless non-entities or ones who don’t merit being given the time of day. Most recently, Trump sent U.S. airpower to cooperate with the Nigerian government in attacking a village said to be the home to Islamist fighters who are randomly killing Christian Nigerians. Had the president been able to call on an adviser who knew anything at all about fighting Islamists — and especially why the U.S. always losses to them — Trump may have made the right decision, which was to drop the idea of even a limited U.S. intervention in Nigeria because he had been informed that such a military raid would, in sum, increase support and enthusiasm for Islamists across Africa and from old-reliable supporters throughout the Arab world.

In short, Trump would have been forced to conclude that while it’s too bad that Christians are getting killed, even a significant deployment of U.S. forces to Nigeria would have gained nothing but a good start for the U.S. forces – the traditional brief results for all U.S. overseas interventions bound for defeat – which would quickly lapse into the slow but steady bloodletting that always accompanies the now familiar outcomes of U.S. interventions; namely, the lack of U.S. military progress, rising casualties on all sides, including Christians, the U.S. force, and the Nigerian military and civilians, Islamist fighters arriving from elsewhere in Africa, and likely from abroad, a shot in the arm to Islamism across the world, and then, naturally, the traitorous anvil  chorus of Neocon demands for the deployment of larger U.S. forces. Some smart foreign policy move, don’t you think?

Elsewhere in the world, this week’s guest Brandon Reichert – a well-known author on U.S. foreign policy and the host of his own and excellent weekly U.S. national-security programs on the America Out Loud Network and on Rumble – remarked that it appears that President Trump seems to be unaware that the Americans who voted for him have little or no interest in seeing him waste his time, prestige, taxpayer-money, and the U.S. military trying to end wars elsewhere in the world. Wars are a normal, if regrettable, part, of international life and involving the United States in other peoples’ fights has seldom if ever benefited the American interventionists. American voters want no unnecessary wars that involve their country, their children, and the waste of their taxes in waging wars for countries that are at base U.S. enemies, like war-loving Israel and the members of NATO and the EU. Not one in 100 Americans, moreover, gives a good damn about their president receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, an award made a sad joke forever by giving it to the now jail-bound Barack Obama.

Far more important, in the American Mind, is President’s Trump efforts to drain the United States of illegal aliens – which now seems to be going well – but Mr. Weichert noted that every success on that front always seems to countered by the vast increase in foreigners in America that is caused by the administration’s other actions. Trump’s welcoming of 600,000 Chinese students into the United States, placed an enormous Chinese intelligence-collection organization able to roam the continent freely and steal U.S. intellectual property, with an easy escape route for them through Canada where the Liberal Government is nothing more than Beijing’s lapdog. The Trump Administration also seem to have agreed with Trump’s billionaire tech cronies to put a priority on accepting large numbers of young foreign tech-workers to remedy the cronies’ claims that they face a disastrous shortage of talented tech workers. Instead of telling his cronies to bugger-off and set up tech training schools in numbers that will fill their needs with American workers trained at their own expense – that’s the capitalist way of doing things — the Trump’s regime’s support has bowed to the demands and dumped the expense on the U.S. taxpayers and domestic job-seekers. You know, if the mass of foreign tech workers that the Tech Czars’ demand – one total mentioned is 500,000 – is realized, the administration will have created, with the Chinese students, a standing force of 1.1. million new foreigners in America, a total that approximates the current strength of the U.S. Military. Amazing

U.S. sabers are still rattling, three more U.S. military personnel are dead, and the politicians of the Democratic Party, their Rino allies, and the traitorous federal bureaucracy are still walking free, with no apparent concerns that their well-known crimes will be punished with the severity, and perhaps the finality, they merit. Also, this week all of our military personnel were all rewarded with a check for $1776, which might well have been directed at our murderous debt or to working men and women who struggle to put three squares on the table each day. It seems almost counterintuitive to reward our military after its failure to win a single war since 1945, and when its current flag officer corps seems to be more political shills than military leaders. Those men and women also seem not to object to the continued use of the Cold War practice of trip wires, which produced this week’s three dead in Syria, and so created a “sacred duty” for the president to order a sound aerial thrashing for ISIS – which you will recall Trump said he had destroyed during his first term. The “trip wire” now deployed in Syria is meant to do only three things: (a) to allow the geographical expansion of Israel; (b) to secure an airfield for the U.S. military so it can waste more billions of our money defending Israel; and (c) to please the Israeli shill and Palestinian-hating ambassador Trump sent to betray U.S. interests in favor of Israel.

This week also failed to display any progress in fully identifying and prosecuting those who made the Covid vaccines as mass murderers and arresting them until they can be tried, convicted, and executed. The vaccines, the Congress has been told by noted medical authorities on the issue, have killed three million Americans and a total of 30 million worldwide. In other words, the major American pharmaceutical companies and the overseas peers deliberately murdered five times as many innocents as did Herr Hitler. Indeed, Big Pharma’s leaders have made the Nazis look like pretty small beer in the mass-murder category. Quite a record of achievement, and yet not one of these gangsters have been arrested when they arrived at the White House to be wined and dined.

The removal of illegal aliens from the United States continues to roll along, which is a great development. But, again, a country whose leaders never stop proclaiming that America is “a country governed by “the rule of law” and that no one in the republic is “above the law” have done nothing to punish those who planned and executed this gigantic international holocaust. Well, those two endlessly repeated phrases are clearly no longer accurate. Where is the federal task force that is prosecuting Secretary Mayorkas (AKA: Israeli shill), the Red Cross, various Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish charities, and the untold number of NGOs that eagerly took money from Biden’s regime to help get hundreds of thousands of foreign children smuggled into the United States and then – for a price paid by American taxpayers – willingly distributed them to pedophiles, pornographers, and sordid assortment of U.S. companies eager to acquire slave laborers. Catholic participation seems especially egregious on this issue, and probably will continue to be so as long as the Vatican retains as its guiding light the words, ideas and changes of its last two America-hating, South-American-Communist-tainted Popes. Both men, of course, were approvingly supported by the Globalists as they attacked the United States and intentionally caused many of the Catholic faithful to be doubtful about respecting the faith’s traditions and to applaud attacks on their own country by the Popes and their ant-American and anti-God henchmen. Pope Leo XIV now has nearly forty video channels that make it look like he is making Church as uncatholic as possible and that seem to be aimed at confusing Catholics, raising questions about their faith, and generally speaking as if he is attempting to remake the Catholic Church in the image of the World Economic Forum and the New World Order. I have found no way of securing data about who runs those forty video propaganda channels, but I can say I have found no evidence that Pope Leo and the Vatican have taken any measures to close them down for deliberately publishing false stories about his intentions to savagely redo the Church. They say silence connotes approval, so we ought not to be too surprised to learn one morning that Cardinal Clause Schwab and Cardinal George Soros have taken up quarters in the Vatican.

When you look at U.S. foreign policy over the last quarter-century in any part of the world, you have to come away in a state of awe. It seems quite likely that no country has ever fielded a diplomatic corps that so inevitably causes disasters for the United States wherever it goes and in whatever it plans. The present ensemble of failure at the Department of State is headed by Marc Rubio, a man who looks fine and speaks well, but at heart is a war lover, a Cuba hater, and Israel sycophant and seems to be supported by civil servants, diplomats, and ambassadors who share those qualities, while posing – with Rubio – as being the equal of such truly great and war-limiting American diplomats as Benjamin Franklin, John Quincy Adams, General George Marshall and the truly great George Frost Kennan. Sadly, our current crop of diplomats is largely ignorant that there job is to serve U.S. interests and prevent us getting involved in somebody else’s wars, treaties that usually fleece the pockets of U.S. taxpayers, or treaties – like NATO – that surrender U.S. sovereignty and makes our military the protectors of what is now a European continent that is ruled by patently stupid totalitarians, men and women who are good only at annihilating their native-born, white, and Christian populations and replacing them with the Third World’s vast assembly of uneducated, non-Christian, war-loving, and utterly criminal detritus.

Part of President Trump’s problem is that American-style diplomats are inevitably ass-kissing frauds who have acquired talents involving the acquisition of socialist outlooks, high salaries, gaudy posts abroad, and a supreme talent of lying to or about their superiors and the president. [Doubters of this sought to watch a few episodes of a television series called “The Diplomat”. Look for a moment at the clown who now represents the republic in the country that now controls the United States, namely Israel. U.S. Ambassador Huckabee behaves and speaks as though the United States pays him to support anything that that cur Netanyahu wants to so, as well as to ensure that every last Palestinian is murdered. It seems that Huckabee must have been trained by Susie Wiles. Does Trump really approve this kind of thing, or is he helpless to stop the anti-American content and conduct of the U.S. State Department. One also must wonder why American diplomats in Europe have been silent as the EU’s untalented and doped-up leaders are systematically installing authoritarianism in Europe, as well as bringing in hordes of military-age Muslim men, who the EU encourages to be patient until war comes, and in the meantime, amuse themselves with regularly raping young girls and women, and killing them if they complain. The work and words of American diplomats always stress their determination to promote “American values” overseas, which is a lie. They cannot speak accurately of American values because they are products of high-cost universities that have taught them to behave and speak as do Democrats, people whose only values are money, war, crime, atheism, election-rigging, cartel coddling, mass abortion, and America hating.

Our guest this week, the fine author Brandon J. Weichert, who has his own National Security Hour Program on America Out Loud, noted that Trump’s on-again, off-again intention to go to war with Venezuela holds out the clear possibility of yet another U.S.-started war for democracy, disguised as a part of the long-failed war on drugs. Indeed, the only success in the war with drugs appears to be the cartels ability to corrupt politicians at the federal, state, and local levels, as well members of the bureaucracies and police who serve those elected criminals. This on-and-off march to war also covers up the fact that The Trump Administration – probably with Secretary of State Rubio in the lead – rejected a deal with Venezuela that would have given America wins on the issues of narcotics, the return of illegal aliens and gang members to Venezuela, and access to Venezuela’s resources of rare earth metals. Most recently, we have had President Trump and his military lieutenants publicly suggesting that the United States may have to go to war in Nigeria to end the slaughter of Christians in that country, and, accidentally of course, gain access to the country’s rare-earth minerals. This is pretty close to the last word in madness. What do our leaders think such an attack and/or prolonged military presence in Nigeria would produce? Let me suggest that such a U.S. military attack and presence, would (a.) produce an immediate up-tick in the pace of Christian slaughtering; (b.) prompt the Democratic leadership in the United States – which is completely and viciously anti-Christian to the core – to identify such an attack as an example of the Trump crew’s eagerness to kill Blacks wherever they can be found, and thereby give the Democrats a basis on which to reclaim some of the Black voters who went with the Republicans in 2024, and (c.) the foolish reality that Americans have long forgotten the hard fact that Bin Laden’s war against the United States and the West did not end with his death. African and Arab Islamists, for example, have over the past decade defeated France in Central Africa and caused it to abandon some longstanding territorial and political control there. Today, Al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda-like organizations are spread all over Africa from Morocco to the Cape of Good hope. An American military intervention in Nigeria would be seen as a clear blessing from Allah for the Arab and African Islamist fighters who reside on the continent to press forward Osama’s war at an increased pace. Such an intervention would also increase the number of Islamist fighters from around the world who would jump at the chance to come to Africa and help whip the American military again.

Finally, my podcasting partner, Colonel Mike, pointed out that it does not seem that Trump has anyone on his staff responsible for keeping him from unnecessarily making embarrassing mistakes. It seems no one in the White House thought to mention that the day Trump chose to meet Syria’s terrorist president – 10 November 2025 – is the 250^th Anniversary of the creation of the United States Marine Corps. So, it appears, that Trump spent a good deal of time on November 10^th meeting a well-dressed Islamist fighter/terrorist/president of Syria, rather traveling to meet with Marines and their officers at one of their facilities. It is true that the President, via social media, did make a short and rather lame statement honoring the Corps, but that seems like a pretty bush league action. Syria is of no national-security interest to the United States, unless Trump’s Administration wants to build a military airfield there, and so give even more help to perfidious Israel. As always for U.S. presidents, striking a blow as an Israel Firster must take precedence over all other tasks, even the essential one of adequately honoring the 250^th birthday of the United States Marine Corps, which is the most potent, victorious, loyal, and honorable military organization America has, and perhaps that the world has ever seen.

There have times in America’s history when the serving president could not find his butt with both hands. It strikes me that the Johnson, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, and Biden governments all fall into that category; namely they were composed of flailing socialists, globalists, America haters, an Israel-suborned Congress, and war mongers. I like to think that Trump’s three successful election campaigns – each of which his foes attempted to cheat him out of winning — were a sure sign that Americans recognize that they had for too long acquiesced to the above-mentioned march toward hell, and now were eager to try and halt and then reverse republic-killing process of authoritarian, centralized, and war-loving government.

Trump’s third electoral victory seemed to promise an acceleration of that process, but, nearing a year from election day, the Trump administration appears eager to find or create wars around the earth. Almost from inauguration day, we have been waging war economically – with tariffs – or with old fashion powder and shot. I thought the renaming of the Department of Defense as the Department of War – which the Founding generation named it – was a grand idea. The change was more than just playing with words; it was a move back toward adulthood in American thinking on foreign and military policy. In this day of nuclear weapons and other such of weaponry, it is simple for the federal government and the constantly fear-spreading media to convince the populous that military action is necessary to defend ourselves from a perceived “threat”, one that far too often exists only in the head of the mad-hatters who govern the republic and its foreign policy.

The government and media regularly push the idea that there are to threats the republic everywhere, rather than depending on the facts that are embodied in a genuine attack, irrefutable intelligence of coming attack, or a declaration of war by a well-known foe. It is easy for the president, his cabinet, and senior bureaucrats to use threat-lies to exact support for unconstitutional presidential wars from the population. After all, since 1945 Americans have been trained from grammar school through retirement to be always frightened to death of a wide variety of often imaginary foreign bogeymen. Through their lives Americans also have been educated and led by abject liars, leftist ideologues, card-carrying political traitors, and pro-Israeli propagandists in their schools, all of whom benefited from keeping Americans scared.

When the Department of Defense was named the War Department, the military was a tool for fighting necessary wars, was seldom seen or heard from by the public, was not astronomically expensive, and won all the constitutional wars it fought, even Lincoln’s utterly unnecessary and Constitution-ruining war against the Confederacy’s clear right to secede.

Today, The United States has not won a war since September 1945. Arguably it has not fought a single war since then that even came near to defeating an enemy threatening American liberty. Over those years. our military has shown itself capable only of beating the mighty power of Grenada’s armed forces, invading Panama to catch and jail its dictator, and spending 20 years losing a war in Afghanistan. Our political and military leaders have likewise been addicted to the madness of binding America to lethal allies armed with begging-bowls like the anti-liberty dictators that govern NATO and the EU, and those of the tiny and intensely anti-American sandbox-state called Israel. Not surprisingly, the biggest threats to American national security come directly from those two entities and the U.S. political, media dolts, and preachers who support them. The anti-freedom European leaders, backed by U.S. Neocons, Biden’s regime, and rogue U.S. intelligence chiefs have given Americans a war of zero U.S. national security interest in Ukraine, but one that does mindlessly increase the chance of nuclear war. In addition, the Muslim-and-Christian hating Israeli regime, has gifted America with 50 years of war in the Middle East. When allies like these speak or act, a death knell sounds for the United States, as the president of the day and his advisers are always ready to follow their lead without question and to open U.S. bank vaults to their unquenchable avarice.

President Trump was elected because he pledged to end all the unconstitutional and unnecessary wars that we are now fighting or that are reported to be on the horizon, Venezuela for example. Trump has been more than a trifle disappointing on this score. Soon after the inauguration he launched a worldwide tariff war which — while it clearly is raising funds for the Treasury – has made business planning more difficult and uncertain, and has raised many auguries of a deep, near-term recession. There is a least chance that these tariffs will have the same impact as did Hoover’s tariffs, which surely deepened the Great Depression, markedly slowed the New Deal’s already slim progress, and moved Franklin Roosevelt to seek war with both Japan and Germany to increase economic activity and thereby keep open his chance to serve more presidential terms.

Most of first year of Trump’s term has been conducted to an overture of rattling sabers and the accompanying commitment of U.S. money, troops, and weaponry to wars of European-and Israeli-making. Venezuela, of course, is a disaster of Trump’s own making. If he and his administration want to pound hell out of the drug cartels in Venezuela, Mexico, or elsewhere, let them. But only to leave behind smoldering wreckage and heaps of bodies so as to remind whatever remains of their gangster-leaders and their supporters not to sin again. But no, Trump seems drunk, as have been almost all other post-1945 presidents, on the idea of being “The Leader of the Free World”, and appears ready to incur an enormously expensive militarized foreign policy that could leave the United States, down the road, without a pot to piss in

It is already clear that a war in Venezuela will be framed as an effort to slow the entry of narcotics into the United States, but it also is sure to turn into yet another enormously costly and certain-to-fail campaign to democratize a foreign country, thereby wasting billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars and sacrifice the lives and limbs U.S. military personnel. And, as if this utter stupidity is not enough, Trump has diddled with the idea of sending Tomahawk Cruise Missiles to NATO for use in the Globalists/Neocons long-ago-lost war in Ukraine. Such an action, if the missiles are used to hit targets inside Russia, might well bring on –at least — a NATO-Russia War, which at a minimum would see Russia to obliterate much of Europe.

Perhaps Trump will yet be driven into reality, but only if he stops and listens for a moment and clearly sees that within days of his so-called “stupendous” peacemaking episode between Israel Gaza, and the Arabs, Netanyahu and his war-loving associates have already caused the death of more Palestinians and have bombed Damascus. Even Hitler had the courtesy to give Neville Chamberlain a bit of time to preen over what that foolish British prime minister claimed to be the document signed by him and Der Fuhrer had signed was a guarantee of “Peace for our time”, before sending the Wehrmacht to finish off Czechoslovakia and then proceeded to wage a European and then a World War.

One final comment is worth making. Americans and their government have long forgotten the genuine threat still posed to the United States by Islamist fighters, men who grew up under the rulings of the Koran and the Salafist tutelage of Osama Bin Laden, his lieutenants, and other Islamist leaders. We already have lost two wars against them – in Afghanistan and Iraq – and they also refuse to beaten in such places as Somalia. As always, the ignorance of the world and lack of commonsense of the fools who run U.S. foreign policy concluded that by killing Bin Laden they killed the anti-American/anti-tyrant/anti-Israeli movement he had consolidated, taught, led, and left a legacy of powerful words. This pipe-dream is far from correct and those who believe it are notably unfit for any post even remotely touching on U.S. foreign policy.

We also should all recall that Bin Laden’s leadership and communications-skill struck long-lasting chords in all parts of the Sunni Islamic world, a world that includes not just the Arab countries but also Asia, Africa, Europe, China, Russia, the United States and South America as well. Why? Well surely because of Bin Laden’s personality, preaching ability, political savvy, organizational abilities, patience, combat experience as an Islamist guerrilla fighting Soviets in Afghanistan, and his obvious knowledge and understanding of Muslim scripture.

Of equal importance, was Bin Laden’s incisive, even brilliant, grasp of an enduring geopolitical reality, the use of which created a good measure of Muslim unity and motivated Sunnis to take up arms against those he rightly identified as Islam’s irrefutable enemies. Bin Laden focused on the United States – saying not a word about its lifestyle absurdities, cultural idiocies, and sexual depravity – and focused on the role it had chosen to play in the Islamic world. Post-1945 America, he correctly said, had chosen to reliably provide indispensable support to tyrannies across the Middle East and in many other parts of the Muslim world. As readers well know that remains the blatant truth today. America, he again correctly noted, was the toy of Israel and that it would back, fund, and fight in any sort of war against Muslims or Muslim states that Israel chose to wage. Readers have just seen this reality reenacted in technicolor in the conclusion of Trump’s deal between the murderous Israelis, the war-and-Israel loving Europeans, a gaggle of Arab tyrannies. In this instance, the U.S. government has once again reinforced in the minds of those Muslims — and their sons, and grandsons — who bin Laden influenced and motivated with his actions and a legacy of well-remembered words, that the enemies of Islam – the United States, Europe, and the Arab tyrannies – are still on the march, and are ready to spread death and destruction among those Muslims – fighters and civilians — who choose to oppose them. All told, this unchanging U.S. foreign policy in the Muslim world is decidedly unwise and makes a mockery of the American sovereignty.
