Trump's First and most Noble Obligation
Trump faces staggering challenges. His first is to bring about peace and destroy the psychosis of war that is ruining the West and threatening the world.
The reverberations of WW ll are still with us today. They have a lasting effect lingering for decades. Until the West chooses to revisit an abundance of noble obligations we suffer an enduring pathos frozen in time.
The elites of the West are racist, capitalist, war mongers. These along with others are their sordid ideologies for survival and they are totally incapable exercising noble obligations.
Seeing themselves as racially superior after six hundred years of empire building, imperialism and global colonization they are panic stricken as the rest of the world has caught up to them.
If they had an iota of grace or contrition they would be willing to take their place as a hemispheric civilization along side other major civilizations. Instead they are locked in a sociocidal battle with the rest of the world that is entirely self-destructive.
Driven by their compulsive racist values and predatory capitalism as the God of their barbaric existence, endless war becomes their only way forward. They have rendered themselves morally and financially bankrupt.
They are trapped in an inevitable historical cycle ,beyond their control, where the West is declining, and the East in ascendancy
The truth of wars is told long before they happen. This is especially so with the war in Ukraine. In spite of the best efforts of the Western propagandist machine it must be seen in its global context and its roots run deep. For a few hundred years Western imperialists have had their eyes on conquering the Asian Heartland (Eurasia). It is the world’s largest land mass, the seat of the oldest enduring civilizations and the keystone for any hegemon hell bent on global domination.
Ukraine was identified by Western strategists as the pivot point and forward operating base for conquering the Heartland, taking out Russia, then China are the key objectives, which have now gone askew. Russia has won the Ukrainian war and the West is in such precipitous decline it can no longer go to war against Russia and China.
1945 death of empires and the birthing of others
The year 1945 was a climactic point in world history. The greatest war ever fought was over. Three empires had fallen; the British, the Japanese and the Third Reich. We entered the atomic age, and the Soviet and American empires were emergent.
WWll was the first corporate war as only corporations had the ability to produce arms on such a massive scale. The Dulles brothers as corporate lawyers were so accommodating as to supply the investors for Hitler to build his war machine during the 1930s. As the war approached they were so discreet as to close their corporate offices in Germany. Western corporations were deeply complicit in both the rise of the Third Reich and facilitating the Holocaust. They played both sides of the war and every war since has been corporate as the ultimate goal is a globalist world where corporate power reigns supreme with the consequent erasure of nation states.
As all other combatants in the war were faced with rebuilding, the US alone emerged unscathed controlling 50% of the world’s wealth with only 4% of the world’s population. It was vastly rich with a 17 trillion dollar cache and a robust industrial base, but a huge population deficit. It was warned it was only a matter of time before the Asian world would emerge with its vast populations to claim its place under the sun. The American response was to pursue empire and colonize the world to its liking, using war, brinkmanship and economic dominance to control the world. As John Foster Dulles was so candid to admit in 1957— get control of a country’s economy and you own it— a corner stone of US foreign policy by whatever means up to and including war.
John Foster Dulles coined the term “brinkmanship” where nations were bullied and threatened into compliance up to and including open warfare. Where all else failed he made phone calls to brother as head of the CIA or the Defense Department to“ close the deal”. The overthrow of the Chilean government in 1973 is an infamous example of the Dulles Doctrine at work.
Doing the business with the devil you become the devil
“In World War II, the United States made common cause with communists to fight fascists. In the cold war, the CIA used fascists to combat communists”.—Weiner, Tim. Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA
The corollary to Tim Weiner’s quote above is that if you do business with the devil long enough you become the devil and that is just what has happened in the US. Hitler was defeated but fascism was not. After the war it simply metastasized into Western power structures and institutions to where it has once more come into dominance. The Russian are fighting Neo-fascists in Ukraine just as they did in WW ll.
Even before WW ll ended the forerunner of the CIA was laying the ground work for the Cold War against the USSR and to this day continues as the Cold War against Russia and China and any other country aligning itself with the emerging multipolar world.
The newly emerging American warfare state used communism as a scare tactic on Western populations, to justify its growing Military Industrial Congressional Complex (MICC), justification for its endless wars and foreign interventions. For the Dulles brothers countries were not allowed neutrality or their own national aspirations. Where they they did not comply with the empire’s tyranny, they were ipso facto communist sympathizers.
The grandest belligerent
It was essential from the outset a hundred years ago that if the US was going to maintain empire and control the world from its minority position it would have to be the grand and habitual belligerent waging war on the world, using predatory capitalism to capture and control economies and a vast propaganda machine that it was spreading social democracy throughout the world, when in fact it had conceived the doctrines that clearly stated it objectives — Full Spectrum Dominance, the PNAC and the Wolfowitz Doctrine. There was also Star Wars aimed at controlling space as well. It was an epic sleight of hand that required endless lies, hypocrisies, passive populations and unconscious distracted societies.
It relied on endemic racism that all other cultures were inferior. America pursued its Manifest Destiny, which mutated into the claim it was the “exceptional” nation which led to its self-ordination as the divine ruler of the world, all other nations and civilizations were negated by its atrocious arrogance and delusional assumptions.
The much touted International Rules Based Order(IRBO) are a fraud as they are defined in Washington and do not represent any international consensus. The move to a multipolar world led by BRICS and other non-Western organizations and nations is a response to the tyrannies of the West and a stunning rejection of the unipolar world. Where the West has practiced hard power and endless wars the multipolar world promises to be more just for all— a lifting of all boats and a more equitable sharing of wealth and fundamental freedoms.
The grand belligerent can only see the world in terms of war, violence, threats and lies as these are its only stock and trade.
The Collapse of the USSR and Bush Jr’s fraudulent war on terror.
On or about 1990 the USSR committed an egregious indiscretion— it collapsed. Thus leaving the war mongering West with no nemesis, no scapegoat ,no whipping boy to justify the empire’s endless belligerence and propaganda. The enemy had collapsed under the weight of its own existence. The bipolar world was suddenly the unipolar world, and there was a huge peace dividend for all, for the harvesting. Where the fractured states of the USSR were left to rebuild their futures, the imperialist West had lost its rationale for endless wars and endless militarism. It suffered the total embarrassment of the world’s largest military, now redundant totally geared for endless wars when the enemy had self-destructed.
The cancellation of the peace dividend arrived with the false flag of September 11th 2001.The empire required a new nemesis and the War on Terror was newly minted. Bush Jr. declared the “you are either for us or against us” and the world was once again divided into good and evil. Iran, Iraq, and North Korea were dedicated as the “Axis of Evil” and two years later Iraq was destroyed with over a million dead and a decade of sanctions on medical supplies killing 400,000 Iraqi children. Iraq was a one time US ally fighting an 8 year proxy against Iran from 1980-88. This was its “just reward” as the caprice and viciousness of the empire knows no limits.
Some twenty years later the caprice of empire has struck again with the proxy war against Russia, now lost with greater wars threatening.
As it is today
We are in fact in a third world war where the new multipolar world is fighting off the evils of the unipolar world— where the former is in ascendancy, the latter is in precipitous decline.
The unanswered questions at this point are simply:
How much further is it going to escalate?
When will the insane West to come to its senses?
Will it go nuclear ?
Where we ask these questions many more persist.
We must first and foremost destroy the psychosis of war which impairs our judgment and decision making. It a debilitating mass distraction that preempts other pressing issues. To destroy the the psychosis of war means making peace as soon as possible.
When it comes to making peace Donald Trump is the man for the moment as he is the most empowered president of the US for a very long time. That power must be used judiciously and expediently. He must rise above all else to the most noble obligation of our times and broker peace on all fronts .
The war in Ukraine has dragged for too long and it only persists because the Western powers cannot take the humiliation of losing a war to Russia, a war they fumbled badly thinking it was going to a quick easy victory, even as they set up Zelensky their designated puppet for failure. Being a NATO puppet is a very precarious existence at the best of times.
One the greatest historic ironies ever has taken place, is that NATO countries were suckered into a war with Russia that has ultimately destroyed their economies and prosperity . NATO their so-called protector led them into economic wreck and ruin.
An even greater challenge for Trump is to read the riot act to Netanyahu shutting down both his ongoing genocide and wars against Lebanon and Iran. This is a delicate matter as Zionism has become a pervasive force in US politics and it is desperately pressuring Washington to fight its wars, which can easily escalate to fully global and nuclear. He must also deal with the Neocon crazies in his cabinet.
Trump’s success depends on his willingness to serve the greater good, nationally and Internationally.
Until peace and a rational equilibrium are restored the West is frozen in time and decline.

I don't see Trump reining in Israel. Israel is doing exactly what the US wants it to do.
"One the greatest historic ironies ever has taken place is that NATO countries were suckered in a war with Russia that has ultimately destroyed their economies and prosperity . NATO their protector led them into economic wreck and ruin." Absolutely correct and spot on. The EU government, if one can call it that, has turned into a modern version of the Vichy Government in WWII, and obeisance to its North Atlantic master has turned its brains to mush. It is now even supporting the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. As for Trump confronting Netanyahu with a cease and desist order, well, hope is the last to die. Just don't bet the house on it.
