Is Trump II starting to look like Biden/Bush II hopefully without WW3?: Classic Neocons Are Out, but They Might Still Get What They Want & Trump Appointments, Russian Missiles

The Classic Neocons Are Out, but They Might Still Get What They Want

I thought I saw some slight reason for optimism yesterday with regard to Trump’s appointments/nominees. Not so much anymore. Where to begin?

Michael Tracey @mtracey

Scott Bessent would be the first openly gay Treasury Secretary and also the first openly hedge fund manager. Congratulations to him on these historic firsts

Scott Bessent didn't always agree with the work done by George Soros's nonprofit, but didn't see a conflict working for him -- until one day, when some people wanted to restrict the fund from making investments in Israel. That was a red-line for Bessent: he threatened to resign

Bessent’s nomination makes official the unofficial MAGA acceptance of gay marriage & gay adoption

Two positions that were antithetical even to Democrats not that long ago

Interesting how the issue was settled with no debate or discussion

Inevitably a third position forms

Trump named Sebastian Gorka as a Senior Director for national security policy. Here's a discussion we had on X Spaces, with a special appearance from @aaronjmate

Gorka calls Putin a "KGB killer" with whom no negotiated settlement can be reached to resolve the war Ukraine. "There isn't an off-ramp!" he shouts

- He says Ukraine will fight not just to the last man, but to the last 12 year old -- "They will fight to the last child"

He says the Ukraine war "has nothing to do with NATO aggression"

He salivates about how Trump killed hundreds of Russians in Syria and "little Vladdy Poo" didn't do anything, because he "shat his pants'

Patrick Henningsen @21WIRE

Seriously, @realDonaldTrump appoints nut job Sebastian Gorka as head of national security policy. He could have been cast in a Dos Equis advert, clearly loves the sound of his own voice, and not shy posting these nonsensical rants - laughably, Gorka claims here that sanctions will force ‘regime change’ in Iran, even though Trump 1.0 already tried max sanctions and failed on every level. To top it all off, Gorka denies war crimes ruling on Netanyahu & Israel, taking a genocide apologist position. Trump should not reward charlatan media clowns like this with cabinet positions…

Gorka is hands down DJT's most disappointing appointment. He's a British agent.

Can it get worse? Well, it turns out that Alex Wong, from yesterday, wants Americans to get used to war like we haven’t seen since WW2. Not kidding—I’m not, and I don’t think he is, either:

Michael Tracey @mtracey

Alex Wong, newly named Deputy National Security Advisor to Trump, career trajectory:

2007-2009: Bush State Department "advisor" for Iraq

2012: Foreign policy director for the Romney-Ryan campaign

2015-2017: Foreign policy advisor for Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)

2017-2021: Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Trump/Pompeo State Department

2021-2024: Hudson Institute [Home base for Neocons]

More evidence that an ideological revolution in the Republican Party is truly upon us

According to Alex Wong, Trump's incoming Deputy National Security Advisor, the American public must prepare itself for military conflict not seen since WWII, because his favored China-hostile policies could likely provoke military conflict, which he deems entirely justifiable

OK, what’s going on with these and other appointments that touch on foreign policy in one way or another? Obviously—over the top obviously—we see pandering to Anglo-Zionist money interests. Is that it? Is Michael Tracey right in claiming all this as “evidence that an ideological revolution in the Republican Party is truly upon us”? Libertarian Reason agrees with Tracey’s worst forebodings (h/t Dissonant1):
