[Peace-discuss] [Peace] Why Trump must go: he threatens not to continue US war provocations v. Russia and China

[Carl G. Estabrook]

No one doubts the influence of the Israel lobby, but there are other and more important lobbies influencing US policy, notably the lobby of ‘defense’ contractors. 

Mearsheimer and Walt’s "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy,” for all its insight, was an overstatement when it appeared a decade ago, and that hasn’t changed. 

Israel remains the client.  —CGE

Nobody is talking about the Massive Influence Israel and the Israel Lobby and the American   Zionists have exerted to  pervert and corrupt all of our elections, going all the way back to their pressuring Truman to pre-maturely recognize Israel in the first place.  Russia has nothing like the Israel Lobby and the American Zionists. A real Fifth Column if there ever were one.Fab.

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."
