Note to Trump: Hiring a Bunch of Warmongers Wont MAGA

So we are now starting to see some of the more senior foreign policy positions in the Trump administration being filled, and its wall to wall warmongering America-supremacist Zionists; with an extra dollop of Cuban US vassal dictator-loving diaspora thrown in.

• UN Envoy: Elise Stefanik

  • A graduate of the Bush/Cheney school of foreign policy and a leading advocate of censoring any speech that criticizes the Zionist regime. Trump did not appoint Nicki Haley so he simply appointed her clone; another “swamp” member.

• National Security Advisor: Mike Waltz

  • A Green Beret who served as defence policy director to neocon Secretaries of Defence Rumsfeld and Gates in the Bush administration, was against the Afghanistan withdrawal and considered one the most hawkish members of Congress with respect to China and Iran. Fully pushed the Uyghur genocide hoax. And a reliable Zionist supporter.

  • His wife Julia Nesheiwat has worked with the CFR, the WEF and is currently serving as a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council. She was a previous US Army military intelligence officers and held related positions in the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations.

  • Waltz and his wife are full representatives of “the swamp”

• Secretary of State: Marco Rubio

  • Part of the Miami Cuban diaspora that preferred a US vassal dictator to a people’s revolution, forever wanting to destroy the Cuban communist state. Never saw a US war that he did not support, a tax on the rich he did not want to cut, a regulation he did not want to remove, a Zionist cause that he would not support, and fully on board with widespread spying on the American people. And fully anti-China and anti-Russia, including pushing the Uyghur genocide hoax.

  • As Anya Parampil covers in Corporate Coup: Venezuela And The End Of US Empire, Rubio was a central player in the attempts to overthrow the government of Venezuela. She also notes that Rubio’s brother is a convicted drug trafficker and that Rubio had lived in the home at the centre of his brother’s drug operation. Also, that Rubio had substantially fabricated his own political coming of age story.

• Defence Secretary: Peter Hegseth

  • An army National Guard officer (major) and a Fox News host, having worked for the latter since 2012. He has hosted shows such as Modern Warriors (blind celebration of the US military), Battle in the Holy Land (Zionist propaganda about the history of the Levant), The MisEducation of America, (how “patriots” can reclaim education from those that don’t celebrate American history and teach about climate change), Untold: Patriots Revealed (celebrating unsung heroes of the American revolution), and The Life of Jesus (Hegseth and his pastor retracing the life of Jesus across Israel).

  • Also a best-selling author of books such as The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free, Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation, Modern Warriors: Real Stories from Real Heroes, American Crusade: Our Fight to Stay Free, In the Arena: Good Citizens, a Great Republic, and How One Speech Can Reinvigorate America that both romanticize and fetishize US power and “patriotism” in a US-supremacist and somewhat fascistic way.

  • A Christian Zionist who celebrates the use of US military power, condemns those not “patriotic” enough (“leftists”, “atheists” etc.) and romanticizes war and the (generally white male and Christian) people who fight it.

• CIA Director: John Ratcliffe

  • Served as the Chief of Anti-Terrorism and National Security for the Eastern District of Texas in the Bush administration, and Director of National Intelligence in the first Trump administration. An extremely hawkish and conservative member of Congress, extremely anti-China and reliably pro-Israel. He is on record as saying that the US should carry out joint strikes with Israel on Iran. Also a Trump loyalist who criticized the FBI and the other security services during the “Russia, Russia, Russia” establishment campaign against Trump.

Oh, and the US Ambassador to Israel will be arch Christian-Zionist Mike Huckabee, and the Head of Homeland Security will be Kristi Noem who is “proud to support Israel” (as long as the Zionist donations keep flowing). She is also on record as having shot her own 14 month old dog when it did not measure up (her view) to hunting dog requirements; kind of screams “psychopath” doesn’t it? She also considers that the US should not be taking any immigrants from “terrorist areas”'; i.e. those nations terrorized by US wars and interventions. And seemed to have no problem labelling indigenous people as incubators of drug gangs.

With these appointments that are central to foreign policy and internal security, Trump has shown the utter BS that was his campaign promises. They point to more war not less, and a greater level of interventionism around the world, together with full engagement with “the swamp” rather than any draining of it. Such appointments may have worked in perhaps 2008, but they are utterly disconnected from the world of 2024. The resultant foreign policy choices will continue to overstretch the US and continue to destroy its standing in the world, hardly making America great; perhaps more helping to make America go away through abject failure. An Empire banging its head against a wall when the best course of action is to stop banging.

These appointments also support the position that Trump is only good at playing a successful business man rather than actually being one, he is simply a front man for a segment of the billionaire class. Such as Miriam Adelson (worth US$32 billion, 52nd richest person, and richest Israeli, in the world) and Howard Lutnick (worth at least US$1.5 billion and a big Trump fund raiser among the billionaire, centi-millionaire and deca-millionaire class). Trump follows his orders dutifully, with a nice tongue massage thrown in for his biggest backer Miriam Adelson; US$100 million just from Adelson alone in 2024 buys a lot of control (they more politely call it “influence” in the mainstream media).

With such appointments, Russia can be expected to double down on attempting to change as much of the reality on the ground in Ukraine as possible prior to Trump’s inauguration on January 20th, and continue to do so until the US comes to terms with Putin’s demands. Any thoughts by the new administration that it can force Russia to the negotiating table through a “maximum pressure” campaign will be proven to be delusional (as they were previously with respect to Iran). Waltz showed his utterly delusional state with respect to Russia in this interview with NPR, where he stated:

And first and foremost, you would enforce the actual energy sanctions on Russia. Russia is essentially a gas station with nukes. Putin is selling more oil and gas now than he did prewar through China and Russia. And you couple that with unleashing our energy, lifting our LNG ban, and his economy and his war machine will dry up very quickly. I just spoke with the speaker of the Parliament of Lithuania. She buys 85% of their oil and gas from Texas and Louisiana. She said, what do you want me to do? Go back to buying from Russia? - because we've constrained our energy supplies.

So I think that will get Putin to the table. We have leverage, like taking the handcuffs off of the long-range weapons we provided Ukraine as well. And then, of course, I think we have plenty of leverage with Zelenskyy to get them to the table.

This interview was on November 4th, 2024! After over two and a half years of Russia very successfully beating the 2022 sanctions (and all the previous sanctions), and besting everything the West has thrown at it on the battlefield, this idiot is still repeating the ridiculous “gas station with nukes” stupidity. In an earlier speech he also stated that the US military should have stayed in Afghanistan for “as long as it takes”, producing guffaws in the audience.

The Iranians are also now in a much stronger position than in Trump’s first term, with their alliances with Russia and China, with the US out of Afghanistan, and with their now proven ability to render the Israeli defence and attack capabilities inconsequential. I have earlier covered how the China of 2024 is a very different and much stronger adversary than the China of 2016. Rubio is even more of a light weight and ideologically-blinded idiot than the Blinken who so poisoned US-China relations at the start of Biden’s administration. We can also expect more attempts to overthrow the governments of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. The progressive leaders of Mexico and Colombia may also be well advised to watch their backs.

Seems that Tulsi Gabbard may fall into the “used and cast off” category. Let’s see if RFK Jr. is given a meaningful role in Making America Healthy Again.

So, already a correction as Tulsi Gabbard is being nominated for the position of Director of National Intelligence. She is a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army Reserve after serving multiple times in the Middle East as part of the National Guard. She describes herself as a hawk “when it comes to the war against terrorists” (i.e. national liberation movements attempting to throw off Western neo-colonial rule, and vassal terrorist groups created by the West) but a dove “when it comes to counterproductive wars of regime change”. So bombing the crap out of Iran would be just fine as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is defined by the US as a terrorist organization (as is Hamas and Hezbollah). Pushes the BS of “radical Islam”, much of which was intentionally created by the US covert services and the Saudi regime. A supporter of the Moslem-hating Hindutva movement. A US imperialist who disagrees on tactics but not strategy.
