Trump Threatens the Cold War Bureaucracy with Irrelevance

An entire foreign policy bureaucracy has grown up around the old battle lines of the Cold War. President Trump’s attempts to befriend Russia threaten the jobs and purpose of that entire bureaucracy, and they are fighting back. Linda Muller, working for Pat Buchanan at Buchanan.org, asks readers to share Pat’s latest column discussing Trump’s strategy. She writes in an email to subscribers:

Dear Brigade,

“Trump is headed for the most brutal battle of his presidency…. By cheering Brexit, dissing the EU, suggesting NATO is obsolete, departing Syria, trying to get on with Putin, Trump is threatening the entire U.S. foreign policy establishment with what it fears most — irrelevance…”

Brigade, Pat Buchanan has written another brilliant column which penetrates into the core of the Deep State, the Never-Trumpers, the War Party and the “very,” Fake News.

Please make sure this and Tuesday’s column are sent everywhere – let them know we stand strong with President Trump!

As always, for the Cause, Linda

In his piece Pat says that Trump is fighting against the establishment, writing:

Worst of all, Trump clearly intends to carry out his campaign pledge to improve relations with Russia and get along with Vladimir Putin.

“Over our dead bodies!” the Beltway elite seems to be shouting.

Hence the rhetorical WMDs hurled at Trump: Liar, dictator, authoritarian, Putin’s poodle, fascist, demagogue, traitor, Nazi.

Such language approaches incitement to violence. One wonders if the haters are considering the impact of the words they are so casually using. Some of us yet recall how Dallas was charged with complicity in the death of JFK for slurs far less toxic than this.

The post-Helsinki hysteria reveals not merely the mindset of the president’s enemies, but the depth of their determination to destroy him.

They intend to break Trump and bring him down, to see him impeached, removed, indicted and prosecuted, and the agenda on which he ran and was nominated and elected dumped onto the ash heap of history.

Thursday, Trump indicated that he knows exactly what is afoot, and threw down the gauntlet of defiance:

“The Fake News Media wants so badly to see a major confrontation with Russia, even a confrontation that could lead to war. They are pushing so recklessly hard and hate the fact that I’ll probably have a good relationship with Putin.”

Spot on. Trump is saying: I am going to call off this Cold War II before it breaks out into the hot war that nine U.S. presidents avoided, despite Soviet provocations far graver than Putin’s pilfering of DNC emails showing how Debbie Wasserman Schultz stuck it to Bernie Sanders.
