I agree fully with you. The Trump speech was pure propaganda and it is just so sickening when he portrays the military as the knights in shining armor the beautiful family, while at the same time the wars expanded and one the poorest countries in the world is bombed and starved out with the American Air Force fueling the Saudi bomber-jets in midair.
But even so the Saudis aren't winning and together with the Saudis America is losing, in Yemen and Syria, and in Afghanistan as well, increasing the troops won't help.
But I'm still sad that Trump didn't keep any of his promises, not even trying to get along with Russia.
But there is one thing:
You said the war-mongers don't get any resistance.
Actually from Europe there is some blow-back. After Trump's government decided on sanctions against German companies doing business with Russia Europeans are finally pulling away from the American war policy.
Maybe it's the first sign of a decentralization.
I hope you have recovered from your cold, oh and thanks for promoting the challenge.
