God bless this man,
“Former US President Donald
Trump promised not to send Americans to fight and die in countries they have
never heard of while addressing a crowd in the battleground state of
Pennsylvania this weekend.
Speaking at a campaign rally
on Saturday, Trump once again claimed he is the only one capable of preventing
an all-out global conflict, arguing that his Democratic rival Kamala Harris
“would get us into World War III, guaranteed, because she is too grossly
incompetent to do the job.”
“To make her president would
be to gamble with the lives of millions of people. Sons and daughters will end
up getting drafted to fight in a war in a country you’ve never heard of,” he
said.
In his nomination acceptance
speech earlier this year, Trump vowed to “end every single international crisis
that the current administration has created,” particularly the Ukraine and Gaza
conflicts.”[1]
"Now God save such a lord, who is so
good He will not have destruction of men's blood!"

Chaucer, A Knights Tale
Lord is used here in the sense of ruler, of course, not
in the sense of the Lord of Lords. For all his faults Trump worked hard not to
start any new wars, and to draw down in the wars the US was already in, during
his last presidency. And he has largely committed to doing the same next time
round, with the exception of Israel, which is foolish – though he has been
somewhat inconsistent on this point, so we may be in for a positive surprise.
A leader who wants to limit the warmongering and blood
thirsty US empire might be the blessing America, and we need. Remember our
country follows the US blindly into all its wars. I hope we get an anti-foreign
intervention leader of the western world. It is about time that the West
stopped it international crusade to force all nations into its image, and
pillage their resources at the same time. The West has so many problems of its
own it needs to work on. Fighting other people's fights should never have been
our task. American men should not be dying for foreign causes, they are far
more valuable staying home and working for their own country to be improved, as
is the case for Australian men.
American elections should be irrelevant to us here, but
they are not, because our country is a satrapy of the US. So, let's hope Trump
restrains the warmongers.
