"There is no peace on earth today for reasons mainly rooted in Imperial Washington—— not Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Damascus, Mosul or even Raqqa."

Be sure to read David Stockman's very important piece that I have posted at EPJ: Trump Is Right—–Dump NATO Now.

I hope Trump reads it.

I am not so sure Trump wants to dump NATO as much as he just wants to reconfigure it "to fight terrorism,"  with a bigger part of the tab picked up by Europe and an aggressive new expansion of he surveillance state.

Nevertheless, Stockman's analysis, and recounting of history, forms the best take I have seen on the current state of NATO, why it is there and why it needs to be ended.
