Yet Another Exchange Between Block and Wenzel on Warmonger Trump

Dr. Walter Block sent the following email to a number of correspondents including me, I responded.

Dear Folks:

Read this, and then tell me Hillary is more of a peace candidate than Donald:

Dear Walter,

No one is saying Hillary is a peace candidate.

The point is that Trump is just as bad, if not worse,

He has stated he wants to send ground troops into the Middle East.

He wants to rip up the nuclear agreement with Iran--setting up a potential confrontation with Iran.

His military adviser, Micahel Flynn, says we will be in a multi-generational war with Islam.

His economic adviser, that he has lauded, says that we will very likely end up in a military confrontation with China.

He stated on radio that the worst of the worst of the neocons, John Bolton, is a good guy.

Meanwhile, neoconservative rags have decried Hillary for being soft on Russia:

Hillary is horrific, but I just don't understand how you don't see that Trump could be as bad or worse!

You keep on sending links to stories that ignore all this. I do  not ignore the dangers of Hillary, I just don't ignore the dangers of Trump, where the authors to every pro-Trump article that you send do. This isn't serious analysis, it is pro-Trump propaganda.

Dear Bob:

Well, I guess, we'll have to continue to agree to disagree. I see it so differently than you.

Best regards,

Walter
