US Presidency 2016: Trumpophobia is illogical

Capitalist-imperialist America is destined to have hawkish presidents in future too for advancing global interests of USA, both legal and illegal.

After the successful launch of Islamophobia with full media backing, now the  Hawks in USA are now  busy introducing fear for the Trump phenomenon 0r Trumpophobia to terrorize the educated American  voters fed up with problematic Obamamania and Democratic misrule after republican variety. .

A major thrust in Democratic campaign against Republican hopeful Trump is presenting him as a serious threat to USA and world. They are generating fear of trump- Trumpophobia- to win points over him.

Donald Trump may not the most sensible leader in USA but then he is not at all insane as many Clintonites fondly claim.  However, Trump is one the most needed statesmen Americans badly need as they face an arrogant regime still seeking prolongation of terror wars for resources and routes to ensure US energy security permanently.

Trump can end antagonism with Russia and will ask Americans and world at large to respect the rights of Palestinians, among some of his wise ideas. Of course, there’s more than a little irony in the uproar over Trump’s ostensible encouragement of using violence to knock off a political opponent a strategy of former Jewish state secretary of USA. But then that is how begins his topics and attacks. Trump is only reminding the Americans of violence a key feature of Hillary as the terror phenomenon characterizes so much of the statecraft of Hillary’s idol, Henry Kissinger.

Responsible for illegal bombing campaigns that caused millions of deaths throughout Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, Zionist Kissinger also fomented genocides in East Timor, Bangladesh, southern Africa, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Argentina; the earliest Neocon boss  also notoriously enabled and supported the Pinochet regime in Chile, which seized power in a military coup – a coup that led to the deaths of thousands, including the democratically-elected president Salvador Allende in the presidential palace.

Hillary Clinton is a democratic bomber and, like Trump, is horribly wrong.. Interestingly, former first lady at White House Hillary Clinton sharing honors her husband was enjoying, openly emulates Zionist Kissinger. Not only has she verbalized her admiration for Kissinger, as she did in the Democratic debates this year, in her 2014 review of Kissinger’s World Order Clinton wrote that Kissinger is “a friend,” and that she “relied on his counsel,” and consulted with him regularly when she was Secretary of State. Aside from words, though, or, Clinton emulates Kissinger both in theory and practice, in deeds. Her support of the coup d’etat in Honduras in 2009, for instance, when she was Secretary of State, came right out of Kissinger’s playbook – as was her support of launching strikes against Libya, not to mention her plans to bomb Syria.

The character of the 2016 presidential election is the fascist demagogy of the Republican billionaire, on the one hand, and on the other, the militarist, “patriotic” claptrap of the Democratic imperialist.

Neither Trump nor Hillary would be expected draw down the terror wars launched by Bushdom rouges and accelerated by lefty Obama team, but one can still feel Trump could be trusted as a true representative of capitalist-imperialism.

Not many countries are interested in the US elections or the outcome as nothing is going to change in terms of policies of USA and republican or democratic the next president is going to repeat the show of Bush-Obama, citing the so-called national interest.  For instance, the Saudis have little hope that either of the two main US presidential candidates, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, will turn things around. The Russian deployment of combat aircraft into Iran to bomb Sunni targets in Syria is the latest step in what Saudi Arabia perceives as a steadily deteriorating regional security environment. The deployment of Russian bombers is the first foreign military presence in Iran since the fall of the Shah. It’s a nightmare for the royals. Riyadh sees the ever closer relations between Iran, Russia, Syria, Hezbollah and Shiite Iraqis as a fundamental shift in the strategic environment in the Middle East.

The Saudis have been frustrated for years by US President Barack Obama’s unwillingness to put more effort into eliminating Assad. Now the Syrian president seems more secure than ever. Saudis from the royals to the general population believe America and the world have betrayed Arab world and the Sunni majority in Syria. Arab nations view the Russian deployment a strategic “shock” that demonstrates how badly the USA underestimated Iranian and Russian aggressive intentions. The Saudis always feared the Iran nuclear deal would end Tehran’s pariah status and give it more strategic options. Saudi efforts to buy off Moscow have been a failure. With international sanctions lifted for the most part, Iran is a strategic partner more attractive than the kingdom. America cannot change the policies over night.  Riyadh has bought over $110 billion in arms from Obama. But there is no confidence in the Saudi leadership about the future of American leadership. Yet, they have no clear idea about future relations. Iran nuclear deal worries Riyadh more than anything else.

The fascistic character of the Trump campaign was displayed in the candidate’s frequent references to the need for “vicious” and “extreme” methods, not only against ISIS itself, but against immigrants from countries where ISIS is active Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made it clear he would not abandon the terror projects of Bush-Obama or permanent war agenda of Neocons just like that Trump, in a fascistic speech in Ohio, called for “vicious” and “extreme” methods to combat the threat of terrorism, including a crackdown on immigrants from the Middle East, expansion of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and a war of extermination against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Trump seeks to combine this bogus antiwar stance with ferocious militarism in relation to ISIS.  A creation of USA, ISIS emerged out of the radical Islamist milieu in Syria, armed and financed under the auspices of the CIA, the Pentagon and US allies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The group only came into conflict with the US when ISIS fighters crossed the Syria-Iraq border in 2014 and began to wage war against the Shiite-dominated regime in Iraq.

US Vice President Joe Biden, in his first campaign appearance with Hillary Clinton in Scranton, Pennsylvania, denounced Trump for his professed admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin, including his suggestion that Russia could be a suitable ally in the struggle against ISIS because of its own conflicts with radical Islamists. He was on his way from Pennsylvania to Eastern Europe, including the Baltic States, to reassure the right-wing governments of these countries that the US would stand by its obligation under NATO to defend them in any conflict with Russia. Biden complained that Trump was lending credence to those in Turkey who were accusing the Obama regime of backing the coup attempt against President Erdogan.

The presidential polls taking place against background of unexpected Brexit. The “Brexit” vote in the UK, together with the growth of nationalism and populism in Europe, has doomed the elite project of creating a federal Europe that can act as a superpower in world politics. Brexit also has challenged US superpower status. Europe will be a rich but fragmented trading bloc surrounded by colossal continental powers, the USA, China.

Experts have made prediction that the world will have three economic poles or cores—China, the USA and Europe. However, the USA is in long-term relative decline. America’s share of global wealth will decline since countries like China and other regions like Africa, are growing more rapidly.  So will America’s share of global military power, which, is loosely rather than perfectly correlated with relative economic weight. Whether defined as polarity or hegemony, American global primacy is coming to an end.

Tomorrow’s world will be multipolar, not simply bipolar or tripolar. The rise of China as the second power after USA will allow regional powers, from Turkey to Vietnam and Brazil, to play the continent-states against one another and pursue their own independent interests. The US president would be hawk and is expected to advance the global interests of the United States by employing all possible strategies and tactics to achieve the goals.

Trumpophobia is illogical mainly because any American who would assume office of White house would have to be aggressive, arrogant and hawk to prolong the terror wars as a permanent US foreign policy tool! More than Trumpophobia it is Hillaryphobia which should terribly worry the American electorates.
