The CIA has demanded Trump is not elected. Pentagon generals have demanded he is not elected. The pro-war New York Times – taking a breather from its relentless low-rent Putin smears – demands that he is not elected. Something is up. These tribunes of „perpetual war“ are terrified that the multi-billion-dollar business of war by which the United States maintains its dominance will be undermined if Trump does a deal with Putin, then with China‘s Xi Jinping. Their panic at the possibility of the world‘s great power talking peace – however unlikely – would be the blackest farce were the issues not so dire.
