Alex Pfeiffer — Tillerson Says U.S. Will Defend Innocents Around The World


The Trump administration goes full-on liberal interventionist and assume the role of US as world's policeman as integral to American leadership.

Oh wait,
Spicer said a press briefing Monday, “The Trump doctrine is something that he articulated throughout the campaign, which is that America’s first. We are going to make sure that our national interests our protected, that we do what we can to make sure our interests both economically and national security are at the forefront.”
“We aren’t going to just become the world’s policemen running around the world,” Spicer added. “We have to have a clear and defined interest wherever we act, and it’s our national security first and foremost that has to deal with how we act.”
Can someone help me out. Who is in charge here, anyone?

Richard N. Haass — World Order 2.0


Richard N. Haass is president of the Council on Foreign Relations, the public face of the "Masters of the Universe." What he says about is therefore significant as the public agenda of the plutocrats and technocrats.

He begins with describing the old world order as that following the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which made national sovereignty the priority. Haas asserts that this order is no longer appropriate for a globalizing world and the new world order needs to be founded on internationalism.

Guess who wants to write the rules for international obligations of states?

Haas bemoans that this view is antithetical to Donald Trump's America First policy.

Battle brewing.
