Besides, Trump is a pathological liar with no moral compass, tending to echo views if the most recent person who talked to him.

Though as we were discussing at last week's AWARE meeting, other candidates in past elections have sold themselves as opponents of war and turned out to be no such thing - "I have a plan" Nixon, GW Bush, "Nobel Peace Prize" Obama came to mind.

I believe Blum's argument that Trump is unlikely to start a hot war with Russia, and was very worried that Clinton was hurtling along a course to do just that. But will the Trump administration push for war with Iran? It seems all too likely. Will it keep up the trillion-dollar US nuclear weapons upgrade (as Clinton would have), and the anti-ballistic missile sites in eastern Europe?

When neither major party is standing up for election integrity, the Green Party can say that theirs was the party that fought for it. That has to be valuable for their reputation in the next election cycles.

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.”
