TRUMP FOREIGN POLICY

So far, from what I have heard of his speech at Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C, Trump has:
1. restated his loyalty to Israel and America's Muslim allies, i.e. Saudi Arabia, while being highly suspicious of Iran;
2. promised the very, very quick demise of Islamic State;
3. promised to put Americans first by bringing jobs back and renegotiation of trade deals;
4. promised to try to reach a deal with Russia and China for peace but will be prepared to walk away;
5. promised to deploy military forces to defend allies but at a financial cost;
6. reiterated his lie that he was against the war on Iraq in 2003 and he now accuses Iran of gaining from that war;
7. promised consequences for companies who ship jobs abroad, blaming NAFTA;
8. promised to make America the policeman of the world which requires to America great and strong again.

Suggests that under Trump the world could be as peaceful as it has ever known.

This foreign policy is very worrying:
a) he still loves Israel, and would work with Saudi Arabia (but for a price) and hates Iran. This is just Neoconism, and could easily lead to more war in Middle East if advised by the warmongers who could feed the buffoon Trump a load of bullshit which the not-so-bright Trump could fall for given his love of Israel;
b) the very, very quick demise of Islamic State (2.) and (1.) and (5.) suggest that he would heavily bomb Syria. What would Syria and Russia have to say about this?
c) he still lies that he was against the 2003 Iraq war. He was against it when it ended but was for it when it started. Lyin' Don lies again. And to accuse Iran?
d) he would make America the policeman of the world which would require a much stronger military. Again, this sounds like it was lifted straight from PNAC's Rebuilding America's Defenses;
e) he and his family have shipped their jobs manufacturing jobs abroad to use chaep foreign labour, and they even shipped jobs to China, despite Trump slagging off trade deals with China!!

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.

The only who would not easily, if ever, go to war is The Bern.

Trump is pumped on steroids.
