[Peace-discuss] [Peace] Gabbard, Rand Paul, and the Stop Arming Terrorists Act,

[David Green]

Gabbard's negatives include Israel/Palestine and India/BJP; but the question remains whether any Democrat can challenge established structures, and whether her genuinely decent views will be viewed by herself and others as a political bargaining chip, to be compromised away in the pursuit of power.

 Yes, Tulsi is gutsy, and she is providing the truth in respect to Syria, but she appears almost “too good to be true”, and we need to always beware of that which is too good to be true. If Tulsi does run for President in 2020, she’ll probably run as a Democrat, another female to take on the glass ceiling, as did Hillary, only Hillary was a warmonger, and just not young or refreshing. Tulsi is young, former military, and a woman of color being 1/4 Samoan, and a Hindu, what’s there not to like? The foreign policy issues that Bernie, who produced truth in relation to domestic issues, would not. 
Just having another Democrat in the White House will produce no more change or progress than we’ve had under Obama or Trump. Just a continued march to oblivion, which is why we need to build an alternative to the two party system which is owned by the same military/industrial complex known now as the “Deep State” or “Shadow Government.”

...It is an established fact that America has been knowingly arming, funding and training terrorist factions in Syria, who are the only groups still fighting against the Assad government that the US establishment wants to overthrow. With her bipartisan Stop Arming Terrorists Act, [Rep. Tulsi] Gabbard [D-HI] is forcing American politicians to take a stand on this unforgivable behavior in front of the whole nation.
...Following Gabbard’s lead, outspoken non-interventionist Republican Rand Paul [R-KY] has now introduced the Senate version of this same Act, which means that if Gabbard decides to do what so many of us are screaming our lungs out for her to do and runs for president in 2020, she’ll likely be competing for the nomination with Democrats who‘ve voted against one of the two congressional bills. The legislation is expected to be met with resistance from the increasingly indistinguishable neocons and establishment Democrats, since it attacks longstanding policies backed by the Bush and Obama administrations, and by their military industrial complex donors and the plutocrats who benefit from America’s insane interventionist foreign policy…
