Allowing Saudi Arabia<br \/>\nto keep bombing Yemen continues our complicity in that evil endeavor. His<br \/>\njudgment regarding Russia, China and North Korea leaves much to be desired.<\/p>\n<p>The answer to Ron Paul&#8217;s question as to whether we are creating more<br \/>\nterrorists rather than truly fighting them is Yes!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2017-05-31\/ron-paul-asks-are-we-fighting-terrorism-or-creating-more-terrorism\">http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2017-05-31\/ron-paul-asks-are-we-fighting-terrorism-or-creating-more-terrorism<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I find Trump&#8217;s endorsement of the huge weapons sale to Saudi Arabia repulsive<br \/>\nand unacceptable. The major beneficiary of this move is the military-industrial<br \/>\ncomplex. Having war as your business model and imperialism as your goal for<br \/>\n&#8220;making America great again&#8221; is not my idea on how to move forward. Instead<br \/>\nit strengthens the hold of the Deep State on our nation.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than draining the swamp and avoiding foreign entanglements, The Donald has<br \/>\nrapidly squandered his credibility in ways that may well be impossible for him to restore.<\/p>\n<p>Trump apologists like Steve Pieczenik, Roger Stone, Alex Jones and Robert Steele<br \/>\nneed to get beyond their justified disgust with leftist attacks on Trump and start<br \/>\nbuilding for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Creating a populist third party is an alternative I&#8217;ve promoted for many years.
