No patriotic virtue in obeying the orders of the crackpot realists of the military industrial complex


NPR/Ipsos Poll: Most Americans Don't Trust Trump On North Korea


I suspect that President Trump might be saner than his daffy Trump Junta - the generals and admirals around him . THEY think nuclear war is not unthinkable. THEY are not less stupid than the German and French generals of the Great War more than a hundred years ago who gave us the " Horror of Verdun ".
There is no patriotic virtue in obeying the orders of the CRACKPOT REALISTS of the military industrial complex. We need another revival of the BAN THE BOMB movement of the early 60s.
Today we have no public intellectuals like Linus Pauling, Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell - all voices for nuclear weapons disarmament.
Our trillion dollar plan to update the US nuclear arsenal : making the world safe for plutocracy ?
Don't expect " liberal " Democrats to lead a peace movement . They now compose a neo-con War Party , the kind anti-imperialist author Mark Twain ridiculed more than a century ago.
