No one can prevent globalization unless you are in a command economy. High tariffs can make this more difficult but not impossible.

As for anti-interventionism, why does Trump want to spend even more for defense. We are not under attack from any foreign power, now or in any foreseeable future.

Better equipping the armed forces does not really help fighting terrorism either.

So Trump or Clinton, same difference. It's the mighty MIC and every Senator is beholden to them.

You first, tovarich.

Caitlin Johnstone is a expat shill for Russia Times, a Putin apologist and batshit crazy.

Rajoo added to the conversation.

The Putin apologist thing is tired.
