Will Trump be the anti-war president he promised or will he cave to the neocons who control the Washington Uniparty?


by Leo Hohmann, Leo’s Newsletter:

I’ve done the math and it’s not promising in terms of what Trump will encounter when/if he seriously tries to end the wars in Ukraine and Middle East.

Donald Trump made a lot of promises about negotiating peace in Europe and avoiding World War III, but will he be able to keep those promises?

Several NATO member states are already scheming behind the scenes to undermine Trump’s peace plans for Ukraine.

Trump himself seems likely to ramp up the Middle East theater of World War III, saying weeks before the election that he would “obliterate Iran.” Let’s hope that was just meant as a rhetorical check on the Islamic State because there are tens of thousands of Christians living in Iran and nuking the country would not only kill them but would also escalate the World War III barometer exponentially.

But let’s focus here on Ukraine.

No matter how remote the possibility of Ukraine winning its nasty border war with Russia, the governments of Britain, France and Poland are totally invested in keeping that war going, even if Trump is able to withdraw U.S. support.

London, Paris, and Warsaw are leading the pack of warmongering European states wanting to see Ukraine continue fighting as a Western proxy, apparently until the last Ukrainian soldier is used up.

This is exactly why our Founding Fathers warned us to avoid “entangling alliances” with the Europeans. These nations have a history of engaging in continuous wars and our Founders knew they would drag us into their devastating killing fields if given half a chance.

Whether he’s serious or not, Donald Trump represents a break with the post-World War II U.S.-led world order that sees U.S. troops dispatched to this or that country to influence its leadership for the purpose of ensuring they remain firmly in the Western camp. That means they make sure their countries become or remain profitable markets for U.S. and European-based transnational corporations.

What I’m referring to here is a neo-imperialistic foreign policy supported full-throttle by the Washington establishment’s Uniparty, with nearly 100 percent of today’s Democrats behind it and about 60 percent of Republicans supporting it. It’s all about the money but the big lie told to the American taxpayers, who foot the bill, is always that it’s about “defending democracy.”

The culprits, those who do the bidding of the military-industrial complex, are commonly referred to as neoconservatives or “neocons” for short. This in itself is deceptive because the neocons consist of both liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans. The only thing that ties them together is their thirst for war.

If there was one vote this year that unmasked all of the neocons in Congress, it was the one taken in April on whether to send $61 billion to Ukraine, $15 billion to Israel, $9 billion to Gaza and $8 billion for Taiwan, along with other foreign-aid goodies. All added up, it amounted to $95 billion diverted from the U.S. Treasury to countries overseas for the purpose of warmaking. The bill passed easily in the Senate with 46 of the 48 Senate Democrats joined by 31 of the 49 Republicans voting in favor. This is but one example of just how powerful the neocon voting bloc has become. Only 15 Senate Republicans voted against the outlandish $95 billion boondoggle while 31 thought that was a good idea and three chose not to vote one way or the other. So that means 63 percent of the current delegation of Senate Republicans fall squarely into the neocon category, joined by 96 percent of Senate Democrats. For anyone who challenges me on this, all I can say is, how does any member of Congress sleep at night after voting in favor of $95 billion for foreign military aid (yes, a small portion of the package was for “humanitarian” aid but the humanitarian crises were caused by U.S.-sponsored wars).

US Officials Discussed Giving Nuclear Weapons To Ukraine

US Officials Discussed Giving Nuclear Weapons To Ukraine

Authored by Kyle Anzalone via AntiWar.com,

According to the New York Times, US and European officials have discussed a range of options they believe will deter Russia from taking more Ukrainian territory, including providing Kiev with nuclear weapons. The outlet reports that Western officials believe the Kremlin will not significantly escalate the war before Donald Trump is sworn in as President in January.

Following the election of Trump earlier this month, the US and its NATO allies began taking steps to rush weapons to Ukraine and give Kiev the ability to strike targets inside Russian territory with long-range weapons.

American officials who were briefed on the intelligence community’s assessments told the Times that weapons will not alter the challenging situation that Kiev is currently facing. “US spy agencies have assessed that speeding up the provisions of weapons, ammunition and matériel for Ukraine will do little to change the course of the war in the short term,” the Times reports.

Desperate to bolster Ukraine’s standing in the war before the transition of power on January 20, the Biden administration is looking at a range of serious escalations. “US and European officials are discussing deterrence as a possible security guarantee for Ukraine, such as stockpiling a conventional arsenal sufficient to strike a punishing blow if Russia violates a cease-fire.”

The article continues, “Several officials even suggested that Mr. Biden could return nuclear weapons to Ukraine that were taken from it after the fall of the Soviet Union.”

According to some officials who spoke with the Times, the administration believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t significantly escalate the war until Trump returns to the Oval Office.

“But the escalation risk of allowing Ukraine to strike Russia with US-supplied weaponry has diminished with the election of Mr. Trump,” the report says, adding, “Biden administration officials believe, calculating that Putin of Russia knows he has to wait only two months for the new administration.”

That assessment is based on the belief that Trump and his incoming Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, will take a more favorable stance on Russia. However, Trump proved to be a Russia-hawk during his first administration by ramping up sanctions on Moscow, providing lethal arms to Ukraine, and expelling a large number of Russian diplomats from the US.

In September, Putin said he preferred Vice President Kamala Harris to win the White House. “Trump has imposed as many sanctions on Russia as any president has ever imposed before, and if Harris is doing well, perhaps she will refrain from such actions,” he explained.

US officials actually discussed a nuclear option, via the NY Times report:

Much of the American political class has cast Trump and Gabbard as agents of Russia. However, extensive investigations into Trump’s ties to the Kremlin have come up empty. Additionally, the Times reported last week that there was no evidence Gabbard was in any way an asset of Putin.
