Militarists for Peace!
I came across this description of a Head of State as a child, age 12: "He is very arrogant, extremely smug and quite taken with himself...is offended at the slightest comment, plays the injured party and more than occasionally gives an impudent answer; furthermore, he is unbelievably lazy and slovenly." link
Sounds like someone we now know, but in fact the description is of the future Kaiser Wilhelm II, from his MOTHER, Queen Victoria's daughter Vicky. Wilhelm's character would later be seen as a major cause of WW I. Trumps personality deficiencies and militarism seem to present a grave danger of history repeating, except the death toll could be in the billions this time, as opposed to WW I's millions. It's ironic that some still repeat the fantasy that he was the 'peace candidate' compared to war-mongering Hillary. |
Trump militarism?
|
How can you even ask? His bloated defense budgets? His demands for more nukes? His preference for generals as staffers? His policy of militrizing space? His attempt to militarize Pennsylvania ave?
|
His efforts to withdraw from Syria and Afghanistan.
|
His efforts not to let Poroshenko use him to serve Poroshenko's local politics.
Space effort is justified in view of China's significant advance in anti satellite warfare. And are you serious with this Penn business? Militarists are essentially adventurists; Trump is an isolationist. |
There are certainly other possible explanations for the cold shoulder for Poroshenko.
It's a judgement call. Penn Avenue serious; we're looking for indicators of mindset and attitude. The military equipment parade wish is indicative of a childish woody for military weapons and display. |

This image is popular with the base--there's a market for art prints and hand painted copies in oil! |
Wilhelm got in trouble essentially because he was an alliance guy. Trump wants to cut alliance.
