Neocons Have Trump on His Knees

After slapping Donald Trump around for several months to make him surrender his hopes for a more cooperative relationship with Russia, the neocons and their liberal-interventionist allies are now telling the battered President what he must do next: escalate war in the Middle East and ratchet up tensions with nuclear-armed Russia.
Star neocon Robert Kagan spelled out Trump’s future assignments in a column on Sunday in The Washington Post, starting out by patting the chastened President on the head for his decision to launch 59 Tomahawk missiles at an airstrip in Syria supposedly in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack blamed on the Syrian government (although no serious investigation was even conducted).
Trump earned widespread plaudits for his decisive action and his heart-on-the-sleeve humanitarianism as his voice filled with emotion citing the chemical-weapons deaths on April 4 of “small children and even beautiful little babies.” The U.S. media then helpfully played down reports from Syria that Trump’s April 6 retaliatory missile strike had killed about 15 people, including nine civilians, four of whom were children.
However, for Kagan, the missile strike was only a good start. An advocate for “regime change” in Syria and a co-founder of the Project for the New American Century which pushed for the Iraq War, Kagan praised Trump “for doing what the Obama administration refused to do,” i.e. involve the U.S. military directly in attacks on the Syrian government.

    2. A not surprising number of them are Jewish Zionists. One could become a tad antisemitic over that! ;-)

    3. Some claim this is about Trump unpicking Obummer's legacy.

      It's not. It's about the US/Israel/House of Saud seeking hegemony in the region.

      Their opponents are of course barely 'better'.

  2. "We are in COMPLETE agreement."

    Quick, get the Bollinger out: that happens as frequently as a total eclipse of the Sun! ;-)

    I consider that Jewish Zionist Cabal to be a kind Fifth Column: they reside in DC (rather than J'sem) because it's easier to exert influence on DC's ME FP from within.

  3. The DC Suburbs are the 3rd largest Jewish community in the US, behind NYC and LA.
