Shall We Fight Them All?

Under this title, Pat Buchanan takes on the latest wave of American aggression. After noting that North Korea presumably wants missiles that can hit the US for the same reason other nuclear powers do – to deter attack – Buchanan takes a tour of other trouble spots:

Apparently, U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia are insufficient to satiate our War Party. Now it wants us to lead the Sunnis of the Middle East in taking down the Shiites, who are dominant in Iran, Iraq, Syria and South Lebanon, and are a majority in Bahrain and the oil-producing regions of Saudi Arabia.

The U.S. military has its work cut out for it. President Trump may need those transgender troops.

Among the reasons Trump routed his Republican rivals in 2016 is that he seemed to share an American desire to look homeward.

Yet, today, our relations with China and Russia are as bad as they have been in decades, while there is open talk of war with Iran and North Korea.

Was this what America voted for, or is this what America voted against?

I always think that when I end up agreeing with people like Pat Buchanan, strange things are happening  in the world.
