Neo-Con Failures

Ever since Trump was beaten into submission by the establishment, he has for some unexplained reason appointed deranged neo-con advisers and other personalities to his cabinet and various posts.

Two of the worst examples of neo-con depravity are Mike Pompeo, the current US Secretary of State and CIA-trained professional liar, and John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser who seems to have undiagnosed and untreated mental problems.

The main problem with the deranged neo-con movement is that it is oblivious to reality and facts. The neo-cons refuse to accept reality, if it does not fit their ideological upside-down worldview. So they try to use brute force and the greasiest of methods to undermine and destroy it, whether it be military aggression, false accusations, provocations, sanctions.

But the neo-cons do not realize that there are things that cannot be fought because they are beyond their power to change, no matter how overinflated the neo-cons egos otherwise dictate.

That’s why the neo-con movement is destined to failure. It can only appeal to the ignorant and mentally unstable.

The neo-cons dreams of world domination that were supposed to follow after their ‘success’ in Iraq have not come to pass, and they never will.

The neo-cons ignore the fact that US power is on the wane. New international partnerships are forming which do not rely on US patronage, which is an outdated concept of the post-WW2 period.

All that the neo-cons have done so far, is alienate more countries from the US, and weaken the US in the long-term. Their incorrect, reality-defying beliefs can do nothing else. This has already occurred before with the invasion of Iraq, which was based on false pretenses.

The neo-cons incorrectly believe that the US has more power than it does. But US power has it limits, and those limits have been reached. There is no one else for the neo-cons to fight that will not lead to the destruction of the US in some way.

Since these two neo-con clowns got control of the Trump regime, they have only managed to ruin and spoil relations with everyone around, friend and foe. For enemies, they have sanctions. For their vassals, they have tariffs. 
They tear up treaties and blame others for it, without evidence or any kind of explanation.

After the Russian collusion accusations proved to be untrue, Mr. Pompeo has doubled-down on accusing Russia of interfering in US elections.

One constant is that the neo-cons have caused problems for the US. They work on delusion and assumptions. But this is not the 1990s. The world has changed. New powerful players and partnerships are coming into existence that the US cannot control. They will grow, and undercut the US, as they have already done.

The US needs to adjust to this new reality, but to do so it will need a new way of looking at things. Whether this is possible, only time will tell.

But the fact is that the uni-polar world where the US reigns supreme is over.

In the next 5-10 years, the US will see a negative change in its power and posture. Its influence and strength will wane as the insurmountable debt and the inability to compete with others take their toll on the society.

It will either have to adjust, or will end up destroying itself.

No amount of sanctions, tariffs, theft, lies, false accusations, scapegoating or military threats are going to work.

The neo-cons have exhausted their box of tools. The longer Trump keeps them around, the more problems they will cause.
