US military establishment is riveted to Rumsfeld doctrine of destroying state structures in entire regions of the world. GOP elites told Pompeo Trump was going to fail so he should quit Sec. of State and run for Kansas Senate-Thierry Meyssan, Voltaire

9/17/19, “Donald Trump’s Challenge To His Administration,” Thierry Meyssan, Voltaire net  

“For the past three years, President Trump has been trying to impose his point of view on an administration whose senior civil servants have been riveted for 18 years on the Rumsfeld / Cebrowski doctrine of destroying state structures in entire regions of the non-globalized world. On the contrary, for Donald Trump, it is appropriate, from a Jacksonian perspective, to substitute negotiation and business for war, so as to dominate the world in good agreement with Russia and China and no longer against them. He hopes to achieve his goals for September 23, the date of his speech at the UN, one year before the US presidential election. He could thus justify running for a second term by asserting his balance sheet…. 

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo…appears as the true architect of Donald Trump’s foreign policy. He was the first CIA director of the new president. He now has the privilege of being invited every day to his briefing with the Agency, so that he combines information from the CIA and the State Department. Above all, he is the designer of the president’s energy strategy [4]. Some of the Republican leaders do not believe that Donald Trump will succeed in imposing anything on the military, and certainly not the doctrine-according to them outdated-of President Andrew Jackson. They advised Pompeo not to go down with his boss, but to resign and to run for The Senate in Kansas.” (last paragraph of article}

Comment: Unfortunately no “Republican leaders” exist in the US. For that matter, no “leaders” of any kind exist in congress or the White House. When the author speaks of “Republican leaders” I’m guessing he refers to the Republican Establishment. They “lead” each other but that’s about it. All pretend “leaders” in Washington, DC share the same agenda: conversion of US from a democracy to a permanent military state that can’t be changed by voters or elections, ie, a dictatorship, open borders, extreme globalism, belief that their constituents are everyone living outside the US, and creating as much misery and suffering as possible for ordinary Americans.
