Moon of Alabama — India's U-Turn Destroys Trump's Anti-Chinese 'Quad' Strategy

India give the finger to the US. Moon of Alabama provides the back story. As usual follow the money. Indian politics is notoriously corrupt. Prime Minister Modi get caught out and had to shift gears.

The other back story is that DJT is now onboard with the US military and deep state's global strategy for world domination by submitting Russia and China to US dominance. 

"America First" as taken on new meaning. The president has apparently decided now that Iraq was not the strategic blunder had had believed.

The game on the grand chessboard is about to get a lot more "interesting" in the many faceted reality show. More popcorn please.

Fear of defeat drives military men to folly. Early in 1968, General William Westmoreland, America’s commanding general in Vietnam, feared that communist forces might overrun U.S. military positions at Khe Sanh. His response, according to recently declassified cables as reported in the New York Times today, was to seek authorization to move nuclear weapons into Vietnam. He planned to use tactical nuclear weapons against concentrations of North Vietnamese Army (NVA) troops. President Lyndon Johnson cancelled Westmoreland’s plans and ordered that discussions about using nuclear weapons be kept secret (i.e. hidden from the American people), which for the last fifty years they have been.

Westmoreland and the U.S. military/government had already been lying to the American people about progress in the war. Khe Sanh as well as the Tet Offensive of 1968 were illustrations that there was no light in sight at the end of the tunnel — no victory loomed by force of arms. Thus the call for nuclear weapons to be deployed to Vietnam, a call that President Johnson wisely refused to countenance....

Recall that five-star Gen. Douglas MacArthur, winner of the war in Pacfic and one of the most popular people in the US at the time wanted to use nuclear weapons against China after they entered the Korean War. Truman fired him. MacArthur returned to a ticker tape in Manhattan and became chairman of the board of Remington Rand and later of the Sperry Rand.
