Cracks Emerging in the Cold Warrior Establishment. Time For Trump to Take Decisive Action

Cracks are emerging in the Establishment even as a hysterical, McCarthy-ite campaign against Trump is underway in the media. By weeding saboteurs out of the intelligence agencies, State and the Pentagon, Trump will merely be undoing the enormous damage done to our national security by a purge of the same bodies undertaken under the guidance of Vice President Dick Cheney following 9/11

A fog has descended on American political life and it is rather hard for the average citizen to understand what is going on. The mainstream media are daily clamoring for more heads to roll in the Administration and for independent investigations to be launched amidst allegations of collusion between Donald Trump’s campaign team and the Kremlin, for which the hacking of the DNC server is highlighted as one of the presumed ‘smoking guns.’ Clearly they are laying the groundwork for what may be a bill of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ in an impeachment motion.

In this context, Russia policy is just the cutting edge of the more general attack on Trump. It serves as a shorthand for his plans to reposition the United States as a more conventional, less “exceptional” member of the world’s governing board and to abandon permanent war in favor of Teddy Roosevelt’s recommendation that we speak softly and carry a big stick. None of this sits well with America’s Cold War minded Establishment of whichever party.

Trump’s adversaries in Congress, like Senators Schumer, Congresswoman Pelosi on the Democratic side of the aisle, and Senators Graham and McCain on the Republican side, and even his allies blow hot and cold on Donald and his foreign policy depending on how persuaded they are that he is yielding to their pressure and changing course.

Indeed, President Trump and his cabinet appointees seem to have backtracked on the notion of an accommodation with Russia, or making any structural changes in NATO and in our relationship with allies in Europe and Asia.
