Moon of Alabama — First Fallout Of Trump's Decision To Withdraw From Syria

President Trump campaigned on lessening U.S. involvement in wars abroad. He wants to get reelected. He does not need a Secretary of Defense that involves him in more wars that have little to none defined purpose.
Mattis is an ingrained imperialist. He always asked for more money for the military and for more meddling abroad. One of Mattis' little notice acts as Defense Secretary was a unannounced change in the mission of the Pentagon:For at least two decades, the Department of Defense has explicitly defined its mission on its website as providing "the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of our country." But earlier this year, it quietly changed that statement, perhaps suggesting a more ominous approach to national security....The Pentagon's official website now defines its mission this way: "The mission of the Department of Defense is to provide a lethal Joint Force to defend the security of our country and sustain American influence abroad."
The Pentagon no longer "deters war" but provides "lethal force" to "sustain American influence abroad." There was no public nor congressional debate about the change. I doubt that President Trump agreed to it. Trump will now try to recruit a defense secretary that is more aligned with his own position.…

Peace is un-American!

Peace-makers are traitors, Russian agents, and anti-Semites!

“Defense Secretary James "Mad Dog" Mattis resigned from his position effective February 28.”

Damn. We gotta look at that gnarly toad for another two months? I thought he was leaving immediately.

“President Trump campaigned on lessening U.S. involvement in wars abroad. He wants to get reelected. He does not need a Secretary of Defense that involves him in more wars . . .”

Trump will be re-elected regardless.

Here’s why…

Hollywood, the corporate media outlets, and giant media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are so saturated with militant political correctness and SJW pathology that it seems the entire USA is likewise saturated. With mass censorship of populists and conservatives, it seems like liberals have taken over.

Not so. Militant liberals dominate the Internet, but conservatives and non-committals dominate the physical world.

Hillary mistakenly thought the media world and the online world were the real world. That’s why she lost.

Who will the DNC establishment run against Trump in 2020? Either Beto O’Rourke or Kamala Harris, both of which are 100% neoliberal clones of Obama and Hillary. Both offer nothing but empty platitudes. Both mistakenly think the media world and the online world are the real world. Hence they will lose again.

They will not stop serving Wall Street and the Russia-gate hoax, nor will they all support single payer. They have nothing to offer except more of the same trash.

Trump will coast to victory.
