Michael Krieger — Empire Destroying Wars Are Coming to America Under Trump – Part 1

Summary:
I’ve published several posts on the topic, with the most popular one titled, Prepare for Impact – This is the Beginning of the End for U.S. Empire. Here’s an excerpt: This is not the sort of thing you see in a confident, brave, and civilized nation, it’s the sort of stuff you’d expect to see toward the end. It’s the stuff of craven war-mongers, of dishonest cowards, of a totally deranged and very dangerous media. The signs are everywhere; imperial decline is set to accelerate rapidly in the coming years… Krieger zeroes in on über-hawks Tom Cotton and Nikki Haley. He sees Cotton as the major foreign policy influence on the president, more influential the the generals, and Haley as likely to replace Tillerson if he leaves the administration, which seems increasingly likely. Tom Cotton is

Tom Cotton is as dangerous a war hawk as exists in America today.…
Tom Cotton might actually be the most dangerous person in the entire U.S. Senate (which is saying a lot), so the fact he’s become so cozy with Trump on foreign policy is extremely dangerous....
I’m glad Nikki Haley came up, as she’s a certified grade-A maniac and bloodthirsty neocon. While she’s dangerous enough at the U.N., there’s talk that she could ultimately replace Tillerson as Secretary of State. Any combination of Cotton and Haley moving into increased prominence within the Trump circle of influence effectively guarantees more disastrous war in the Middle East....
I wouldn't limit that to the Middle East.

The post doesn't mention it, but Donald Trump initially offered the job of Secretary of State to Haley but she turned it down for the UN. Haley, Samantha Power, and Madeleine Albright are cut from the same mold.
