Could Trump Take Down the American Empire?

“We spend $3.5 billion a year to have troops in South Korea,” Trump complained. “I don’t know why they’re there. … Let’s bring them all home!”

Phi Beta Iota: Although the author is viscerally against our President, he provides a fine summary of those portions of Fear that show our President is right on target about ending US wars and occupations and regime change operations overseas — the summary also reveals how shallow and unjustified are the arguments made by the national security team for continuing to be the military arm of the Deep State.
