Trump’s slathering devotion to Israel has done nothing to advance American interests, and has certainly harmed them. From Philip Giraldi at unz.com:
President Donald Trump’s end of year speech to the American public that took place on December 17th was full of conceits over how the United States under the new regime in power is moving ahead on all fronts to benefit the American people. The reality is somewhat different with a struggling economy, inflation and growing unemployment as well as wars and rumors of wars. The only economic sector that appears to be doing just fine is the “military industrial complex” (MIC), or should one call it the warfare conglomerate, fattening on the one trillion dollar plus budgeted for military and related spending. For sure, the warfare bill is helping to expand the nation’s debt while providing little in the way of national security due to profound ignorance combined with serial blundering by those in power in and around the White House.
The unavoidable fact that Trump has created a mess nearly everywhere that he has trod has been visible practically since inauguration day eleven months ago, made worse by the incoherent and frequently contradictory explanations coming out of the Oval Office itself. One might point to the wars going on in Ukraine and in and around Israel/Palestine as the most unnecessary, and dangerous, of the Trumpean missteps, since both involved no threat to the United States unless they escalate and “go nuclear” while both can actually be described as sustained by what Washington has both done and not done.
