Trump wasn't anti neo-con. He's got a neocon streak a mile wide. But he didn't understand how things worked. He just saw an insane policy that cost the USA billions, while the people we were spending billions on were helping Russia's economy by buying oil and gas from them. He wanted them to buy OUR oil and gas if we were going to prop them up.
What Trump didn't get was that in return for the massive subsidy, we got NATO's support in all our adventures around the globe, especially in Iraq. And Trump bragged about the oil fields in Northern Syria, where we have troops on guard.
Trump is pro-USA, and just wanted NATO countries to pay their fair share. He didn't know or care about the ongoing quid-pro-quo for that subsidy. Our spending kept Euro leaders in line.
China is a major gangster nation. Gangsters running it. Gangsters pursuing predatory trade practices and subverting foreign governments and institutions with bribes, blackmail, and other behind-our-back tactics. CCP subversion propaganda is a big part of the social divide in America. Commies are always better at cloak-and-dagger/subversion than we are, and generally terrible at the fundamental stuff, like innovation that you get from FREE people that compelled people simply can't match.
Liberty at home has always been our biggest advantage, creating an engine of prosperity that is matchless. Top-down socialist/progressive/communist ways of thinking always fail, because they try to FORCE what they want; whereas, free countries LET their people do what they want and keep what they earn. Marvelous incentive system for creativity that all the nanny-government nations lack. That's what's so sad about the way America is going. We're headed in the USSR/Communist-China direction in how we run things.
There's a federal rule governing EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN, from gas can spouts to EPA regulations that make it so you can buy a gas guzzler, but you can't find an affordable compact pickup truck anywhere, because they don't get good enough gas mileage! But if you build a truck BIGGER, with a bigger footprint (length and width of wheel base), the gas mileage requirement set by EPA bureaucrats says that's OK. My Tacoma is a mid-sized truck. It should be a COMPACT truck. The sweet spot is a small V6 (with or without hybrid) that gets 20 or 25 MPG. Enough power to travel the Interstate and maybe tow a little trailer. But those are illegal because of the EPA.
I could go on forever on this, but we are very much a top-down government on fascist lines. You can still own stuff, but they tell you what you can own and what you can do with what you own. And it's the lefties who insist that federal agencies do MORE, which makes you progressives the thin edge of the wedge of fascism in the USA, where medical boards punish good doctors for following their Hippocratic Oath, when it is in conflict with Big Pharma or Big Food profits.
We GOD Big Pharma and Big Food BECAUSE of federal interventions squeezing out the little guys. You guys complain about the little guys getting squeezed, but you insist that the machine that crushes them should be bigger and bigger and bigger, world without end. You're trying to perfect socialism by fascist means, and then you're surprised when things go to heck in a handbasket.
