Unhinged, Part 2: The War Party's Desperate Assault On "America First"

• http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com

The major---perhaps only---redeeming virtue of the Donald's ersatz campaign platform was his clear intent to seek a rapprochement with Russia, revamp America's commitments to NATO and other cold war relics and to discard "Regime Change" as the core tenant of foreign policy in favor of an "America First" approach to domestic security and safety.

Those eminently sensible notions struck the Deep State's raison d'etre to the quick. The fact is, there would be no justification for the $800 billion defense, intelligence and foreign aid apparatus on which the very prosperity of the Imperial City depends in the absence of a large state-based enemy; or, better still, without an imperial foreign policy that is implicitly designed to either bully or remove recalcitrant governments anywhere on the planet----whether or not they have the intent or capacity to harm the US homeland.
