Pax or Pox?

February 17, 2017

Writes John F. Miller:

The ongoing Civil War in our national security apparatus apparently hinges on Trump’s challenge to this doctrine:  Doctrine of ‘Big Enchilada’.

 **”Our forces will be strong enough to dissuade potential adversaries from pursuing a military buildup in hopes of surpassing, or equaling, the power of the United States.” **

 Neo-con and rabid anti-Trumpster Max Boot explains: Will Trump be the end of the Pax Americana?

**”With the ‘America First’ emphasis in his truculent inaugural address, Donald Trump has signaled that a radical reorientation of American foreign policy may be in the offing. For more than 70 years, the United States has been the world’s leading champion of free trade, democracy, and international institutions, particularly in Europe and East Asia. But for how much longer?”**

A reemergent Russia in the global political sphere undermines American hegemony in European and Middle Eastern affairs.  And thus threatens the so-called “Pax Americana.” Based on the blood and chaos unleashed upon the world by Max Boot and the imperialists at the CFR, a more accurate description would be “Pox Americana.”
