He will associate himself with Putin to look like a tough guy, and threaten to bomb Iran to look like a tough guy.

Right on target counselor.

Trump also wants Putin to help make him richer. Putin is rich (potential investor) and can ensure Trump's projects will encounter no government interference.

How is Trump using the establishment to overthrow the government?

As in America, German industrialists in the 1930s were to a large degree, the German military industrial complex. So, yes, military build up was a boom to business for them. However, once the tide turned against Germany, allied bombing raids proved disastrous for their bottom line. Also as we've seen in America, Capitalists are not known for their long term vision...……...

It would be more accurate to say Trump is using the Republican Party to destroy American Democracy and put control of the government directly in the hands of American Corporate bosses. Some might call this "Fascism".

I do.

As an Obama supporter, it's painful to have some of my reservations on his policies and decisions confirmed by a nonpolitically motivated credible source.

Obama's distaste for geopolitics either went too far, or not nearly far enough.

Bergen: Mattis had problems with Trump -- and with Obama, Biden and Bush

Generals are not usually the ones to indicate to their nation that it's overextended.

It is illuminating: Mattis is griping about the effect of immigrant/refugee on Europe.

Obama always had a measured distaste for anyone who had this strident view of American power. Breedlove comes to mind.

I'm glad to see you guys aren't wearing the MAGA ball caps on this website.

Want to post my prediction here, already said it on AK in the gas prices thread.

We (the USA) are going to invade Iran. We'll be in by February, 2020.

IMHO, the refinery 'attack' in Saudi Arabia was a false flag operation. Shit like that is going to keep happening until the invasion starts.

Unfortunately Trump will become more popular.

Good to see you here, BigElCat. Welcome.
