Trump Calls Out ‘Top People in the Pentagon’ Who ‘Fight Wars’ for Defense Contractors’ Profits

[enhanced_deficit]

The 'top people' that POTUS called out have got to stop, war crimes are a big no-no in this age of social justice and diversity promotions. Trump's nominating First African-American US Air Force Chief in history recently may change the direction of things radically too potentially.



As U.S. air war in Afghanistan surged, investigations into civilian harm plunged

(AP) Trump’s recycling program: War crimes and war criminals, old and (potentially) new

Rebecca Gordon
April 3, 2018
A barely noticed anniversary slid by on March 20th. It’s been 15 years since the United States committed the greatest war crime of the twenty-first century: the unprovoked, aggressive invasion of Iraq. The New York Times, which didn’t exactly cover itself in glory in the run-up to that invasion, recently ran an op-ed by an Iraqi novelist living in the United States entitled “Fifteen Years Ago, America Destroyed My Country,” but that was about it. The Washington Post, another publication that (despite the recent portrayal of its Vietnam-era heroism in the movie "The Post") repeatedly editorialized in favor of the invasion, marked the anniversary with a story about the war’s “murky” body count. Its piece concluded that at least 600,000 people died in the decade and a half of war, civil war, and chaos that followed — roughly the population of Washington, D.C.

Trump nominee to be Air Force chief of staff says he navigates 'two worlds' as an African American man

By Kaelan Deese - 06/05/20
Gen. Charles Brown, commander of Pacific Air Forces and President Trump's nominee to be the next Air Force chief of staff, said in a video released Friday that he navigates "two worlds" as an African American and that he's "thinking about how I can make improvements" institutionally.

"As the commander of Pacific Air Forces, a senior leader in our Air Force, and an African American, many of you may be wondering what I'm thinking about the current events surrounding the tragic death of George Floyd," Brown said.
The general said he has been thinking about living in "two worlds, each with their own perspective and views."

"I'm thinking about how my nomination provides some hope, but also comes with a heavy burden. I can't fix centuries of racism in our country, nor can I fix decades of discrimination that may have impacted members of our Air Force," he said.
Brown said he is thinking about how he can make improvements both "personally, professionally, and institutionally," so that current and future airmen "appreciate the value of diversity."

U.S. Navy to ban all public displays of the Confederate flag

[Sammy]

It's funny to see the same Deep State neocon Trumpkin GOP shylls praising this White House Fake News press release.

President Donnell is a Communist Dancing Wahhabi neocon Zionist MIC puppet.

What the hell is wrong with you?
The Ban didn't make you smarter.

 

[UWDude]

Remember. Ron Zeplin has said at least twice Joe Biden will make a better president.

 

[TheCount]

It's almost as though Trump appointed:

Raytheon executives as Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Air Force, and Secretary of Defense

A Lockheed Martin executive as the Secretary of the Army (bonus points: CFR staff member)

A Boeing executive as the Deputy Secretary of Defense

A Bank of America executive as the Under Secretary of the Air Force

A PricewaterhouseCoopers executive as the Under Secretary of the Navy

Woohoo, back down to 2016 troop levels in Iraq!



Let's see, that would be during the Presidency of the famously anti-war *checks notes* Barack Obama

2k troops coming home. Further troop reductions in Afghanistan. 7k drug-war victims prison terms reduced.

Vote Biden?

Since he frequently contradicts himself his statements can't be trusted at all, you have to watch his actions to even guess about his positions or plans.

^this.

Actions speaketh louder than words.


Trump signs $738 billion defense spending bill
Dec 20, 2019

The largest one-year defense budget increases in American History

200k active troops overseas in 177 countries

There was no shortage of cuts proposed in Trump’s budget for 2018, which was released earlier this week.
However, one of the few departments that did not receive a haircut was the Department of Defense. If the proposed budget ultimately passes in Congress, the DoD would be allocated an extra $54 billion in federal funding – a 10% increase that would be one of the largest one-year defense budget increases in American History.

But in all fairness, his top donor is a globalist neocon liberal Dem turned Netanyahu-Republican, so top rated former reality TV star should be cut some slack.

Will Trump's troop levels go back up in 2021 the way they did in 2017?

Will he launch a few hundred tomahawks at a new country?



Or are we all collectively crawling up our own asses and pretending like it's 2015 and Trump is anti-war?

Russia Hoaxer TheCount is not interested in the truth.

Russia Hoaxer TheCount thinks the tomahawk launch into Syria was part of Trumps allegiance to Putin.

Russia Hoaxer TheCount thinks he can hide his Russia Hoax beliefs, but I have at least three quotes of his which prove TheCount believes the Russian Collusion Hoax. Russia Hoaxer TheCount can't hide his true beliefs when confused and angry.

Russia Hoaxer TheCount actually does not believe the Russian Collusion Hoax, I am sure, as Trumps antagonistic moves towards Russia would defy such a conspiracy. but Russia Hoaxer TheCount doesn't care about truth. Russia Hoaxer TheCount will use anything and everything he can to attack Trump from a libertarian perspective, even though Russia Hoaxer TheCount is just another statist neocon that uses neocon language, unaware that it outs him as just another Lincoln project type neocon.

Russia Hoaxer TheCount claims to care about Tomohawk missile launches into Syria, while at the same time insists Assad and Putin "regimes" wanted nothing more than to kill every person in Aleppo.

Russia Hoaxer TheCount thinks troop reductions to 3,000 are the same as the Obama administration low point, when it was 4,500.

Russia Hoaxer TheCount says 2 + 2 = 5.

The trolls are going hard on this one. Orange man badder than ever!

The trolls are going hard on this one. Orange man badder than ever!

Actions always speak louder than words, Obama ran as an anti war president, he made overtures to Iran and the Mullah's threatened to cut the MIC and end the wars in Afghanistan and Iran but once in office, he played around with troop numbers and even started 2 wars. He never cut a cent from the defense budget. Trump also talks the good talk, played around with troop number but he has also tried to increased the defense budget to unprecended levels, increased troops in Syria, and on top of all of that tried to start new wars in Iran and Venezuela.

Always pay attention to attacks and not on words. Syria is an easy theatre to show his antiwar chops, the country has been asking us to leave, ISIS has been wiped out by the Russians and Syrians and the US is just there to guard oil fields from the govt. We went with EO and he can leave with EO.

 

[Swordsmyth]

Woohoo, back down to 2016 troop levels in Iraq!

Trump has said they are ALL leaving both places and that is happening.

 

[UWDude]

We all know Hillary, Joe and Kamala, in their 100+ years of political careers, have made similar statements about the MIC and the profit motive of war. If only I could just find one instance of them saying such things, like Trump has done MULTIPLE TIMES over the past four years.

Well, maybe not them, how about from ANY other politician that is currently serving in congress?

Nope?

Not even the radical leftists like Rashid Tlaib and Ilhan Omar will say something?

How is it that Trump is the ONLY currently serving federal politician to say something about the M.I.C.?

 

[TheCount]

Cool

Trump didn't started any new wars.
That's the big difference between Trump & Obama.

 

[RonZeplin]

Donnell Trump, New World Order

big difference between Trump & Obama.

Trump is more dedicated to the New World Order.

 

[Ender]

Trump didn't started any new wars.
That's the big difference between Trump & Obama.

He's certainly tried with Iran & parts of S America- plus sanctions are an act of war- and it ain't over yet. He's also bombed more people than Obama. And, I'm no Obama fan- so don't go there.

Trump also undid the Iran Deal which was one of the best things Obama did- Trump's position on Iran & the deal during his campaign let me know immediately that he was just another pretend-conservative.

 

[Swordsmyth]

He's certainly tried with Iran & parts of S America

LOL

If he tried it would have happened, he stopped those who tried.

And don't even try to pretend O'Bummer was better, ask Libya about O'Bummer, ask Syria and Iraq about ISIS.

Trump is ending wars not starting them.

Trump’s Record on Foreign Policy: Lost Wars, New Conflicts, and Broken Promises
by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies Posted on July 02, 2020

On June 13, President Donald Trump told the graduating class at West Point, "We are ending the era of endless wars." That is what Trump has promised since 2016, but the "endless" wars have not ended. Trump has dropped more bombs and missiles than George W. Bush or Barack Obama did in their first terms, and there are still roughly as many US bases and troops overseas as when he was elected.
