Stockman's Views on Trump's Potential to Bring the US Empire Home
David Stockman, a financial analyst, has shared his views on Donald Trump's potential to bring the US Empire home. Stockman is of the opinion that Trump's policies are 90% rhetoric and 10% substance. However, he believes that Trump's words occasionally hit the mark, such as when he criticized Ukraine's President Zelensky for his country's financial dealings with the US.
Trump's Potential to Halt Washington's War Machine
Stockman suggests that despite Trump's lack of historical or political depth, he may be the only hope to halt Washington's War Machine. He criticizes Trump for his previous administration filled with warmongers and for his quick decision to order a bombing in Syria in 2018. However, he believes that Trump's policy positions, primarily used to attack opponents and enemies, could potentially lead to a transformation in his approach to foreign policy.
Trump's Possible Actions if Re-elected
Stockman predicts that if Trump is re-elected, he will take actions against Zelensky and the Deep State War Machine. He believes that Trump, known for holding grudges, will do everything in his power to defeat them. This could potentially involve making a deal with Putin to end the Ukraine proxy war.
Republican Resistance to Trump's Actions
Stockman notes that the Republican majority is moving away from the neocon position, leaving few supporters for the War Machine. This shift is likely due to the blatant election interference by Zelensky. He also points out that the Democrats' attacks on Trump will only strengthen the Republican resistance to their policies.
The Impact of a Trump-Putin Territorial Partition
Stockman suggests that a territorial partition between Trump and Putin, which could involve separating the Donbas and the Black Sea rim from a demilitarized, NATO-free Ukraine, could change the course of history. He argues that this would bring peace to the region and prevent further military and economic destruction.
The Need for a Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy
Stockman argues that the US needs to move away from its current foreign policy and adopt a non-interventionist approach. He believes that the US should focus on maintaining its own security and promoting peaceful commerce with the rest of the world. To achieve this, he suggests cutting the defense budget by 50%.
The Potential for a Fortress America National Security Posture
Stockman believes that the US does not need a globalized, war-fighting capability. He argues that the US's current enemies do not have the offensive or invasionary capacity to pose a significant threat. He suggests that the US should focus on maintaining a Fortress America national security posture, which would involve defending the US homeland from potential threats.
Bottom Line
Stockman's analysis suggests that Trump could potentially bring the US Empire home and halt the War Machine. However, this would require a significant shift in US foreign policy and a reduction in defense spending. What are your thoughts on Stockman's views?
