Interesting article. Points to ponder.
To ostensible enemies, Trump and his cabinet should collectively be a mystery wrapped in a conundrum wrapped in a riddle wrapped in an enigma.
Leading them to give up hostilities and kiss Trump’s...ring.
Yes, it is interesting. I already started "pondering" before this article appeared.
In particular, the two names mentioned are at the top of my "things ain't gonna change" list.
It's just more of the same. We rule the world, it's our world, and we'll whip your butt if you don't mind us. You know, like Blinken, but hopefully much smarter. And then they keep the war machine going like the last several wars/disasters/debacles, just turning up with a few new names plus the old ones, too.
Yep. Just keep it up and drive Russia, China, and the global south to keep on growing with their own NATO-like version block (BRICs, Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, etc.).
I sure hope it doesn't turn out like the last few disasters: Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, etc.
How'd them work out for us??
Maybe somebody will tell them it's not 1945 anymore. That era ended for us a couple of decades ago.
