The American Empire And Economic Collapse

• http://www.zerohedge.com, by Antonius Aquinas

While the hope for a less meddlesome US foreign policy is not completely extinguished and would never have existed had the Wicked Witch of Chappaqua been elected, a number of President Trump's foreign policy actions, so far, have been little different than his recent predecessors.

President Trump's biggest blunder was his acquiesce to the Deep State's coup of General Michael Flynn, the most Russian friendly among Trump's foreign policy entourage.  Since Flynn's abrupt departure, there has been little talk of a rapprochement with Russia, but instead there has been continued saber rattling by the war mongers that Trump has, unfortunately, chosen to surround himself with.

The most recent Russian badgering has come from Secretary of Defense, James "Mad Dog" Mattis who wrongly accused it of "bad behavior:" "Russia's violations of international law are now a matter of record from what happened with Crimea to other aspects of their behavior in mucking around other people's elections and that sort of thing." Of course, the US has never tried to influence the outcomes of elections or "mucked around" in the affairs of sovereign countries, heaven forbid!
