they knew what they were doing in the campaign, it wasn't just 'pettiness', look at who was backing them and participating. obama stood up to the israelis and saudis a bit
undoing obama was about more than just ego, it was a strategy of rolling back the clock on purging neoconservatism
Of course, but Trump is uber petty about it.
It comes through in all his tweets.
It is a lot of ego motivating his decisions.
thats' the cover man
"He's too dumb to be hurting America on purpose"
the pettiness is for show for his base, it gets them pumped
that's putting the sail into the wind to power the strategy
he's a performance artist
Lol. Pence and others do the heavy lifting. He is amateur compared to them.
Pence was a PR move to get the evangelicals, as were sessions and some others
Those wanting to impeach Trump don't get that Pence is a political insider that knows how to get what he wants. So it was 4D chess to make his VP worse than himself.
it's how they got ann coulter and the like on board
then they were discarded
as were the less crazy natsec types like mattis
dont be surprised if pence is replaced with Nimrata
Pence was a PR move to cover for a guy with 2 divorces and a history of being a playboy
da fuck somebody like DONALD TRUMP is getting voted for by evangelicals?
then he was discarded too
It is a toxic mix of neo con and neo liberal foreign policy.
Both are pretty catastrophic world views.
who is repesenting the neoliberals in the trump foreign policy team
Those crashing and burning the EPA,etc. xD
those aren't neoliberals
and you said 'foreign policy'
Yeah they are. It is essentially the war lobby elite.
both have their views on war, but there are no neolibs in trump admin
There is a correlation between the fossil fuel die hards and the war lobby.
neolib foreign policy is lead by Richard Haass
EPA is lead by wheeler, definitely not a neoliberal
he's a former coal lobbyist
In what way? At the core of neo-liberal policy is to destroy the govt from within and make it dysfunctional for corporate elites.
That was literally the 1970s through to the 2000s. Still continues as well. Just shock therapy is less pushed these days.
the neolibs and neocons are very 'right' of Lefists and Progressives, but they aren't the same thing
And mass privatization is also their baby.
As are private armies like Blackwater or "Academia" as they call themselves now.
They formed a tight alliance of convenience over the Iraq and Afghanistan war, and are more than happy to plunge us into Iran.
Granted that there are still neo liberal dissidents, and they aren't as well polished as traditional neo libs.
