> To deter the rush to war, President Trump should remove special counsel Robert Mueller, and end his partisan search for Russian ‘meddling’ in the 2016 election - and supposed links between the Russian government and the Trump campaign.
> 
> The investigation, and the hysterical charges of Trump’s being ‘Putin’s puppet,’ are an attempt by the Democrats and the rest of the ‘war party’ to reverse the outcome of the election - and ensure the continuance of the Obama administration’s wars and war provocations - from Ukraine to the South China Sea.
> 
> Trump inherited eight wars from Obama - wars intended to ensure the maintenance of the economic hegemony of the US one-percent, in the energy-rich Mideast and across Eurasia.
> 
> Trump - in spite of contradictory statements - criticized those wars and provocations during the campaign. The war party are desperately afraid he may act on those criticisms, especially when he proposes talks with the North Korean and Russian leaders.
> 
> John Pilger wrote in 2016, “The CIA, Pentagon generals, and the pro-war New York Times  demand Trump not be elected. 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 Russian president Putin, then with China’s president 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...”
> 
> Mueller is continuing the farce - and should cease.
