Paul Craig Roberts on President Trump’s ‘Disappearance’
In my long experience in Washington, vice presidents did not make major foreign policy announcements or threaten other countries with war. Not even Dick Cheney stole this role from the weak president George W. Bush.
But yesterday the world witnessed VP Pence threaten North Korea with war. “The sword stands ready,” said Pence as if he is the commander in chief.
Perhaps he is.
Where is Trump? As far as I can tell from the numerous emails I receive from him, he is at work marketing his presidency. Once Trump won the election, I began receiving endless offers to purchase Trump baseball caps, T-shirts, cuff-links, coffee mugs, and to donate $3 to be entered into a raffle to win some memorabilia. The latest offer is a chance to win one of “personally signed five incredible photographs of our historic and massive inauguration.”
For Trump, the presidency is a fund-raising device. If his VP, National Security Advisor, Secretary of Defense, UN Ambassador, CIA Director, whoever, want to start wars wherever, that’s just more memorabilia to raffle off for a $3 donation.
As a result of Trump’s failure to govern his own government, we have VP Pence telling Russia and China that there could be a nuclear exchange on their borders between the US and North Korea. Although Pence is not smart enough to know, this is not something Russia and China will accept.
Washington worries about North Korea having nuclear weapons, but the entire world worries that Washington has nuclear weapons. And so many of them. World polls have shown that the majority of the world’s population are far more concerned about the threat to peace posed by Washington and Israel than by Iran, North Korea, Russia and China.
Pence prefaced his “the sword stands ready” remark with “the United States of America will always seek peace,” which after Serbia, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, and Syria is as false a statement as it is possible to make. From Washington’s perspective it is always Washington’s victims that are “reckless and provocative,” never Washington.
The US stands for war. If the world is driven to Armegeddon, it will be Washington, not North Korea, Iran, Russia, or China, that brings life on earth to an end.

Pence is in Australia. Where’s Trump
Trump is in way over his head. During his campaign, either he totally lied about his views on foreign policy, or he simply wasn’t allowed to follow through on his ideas. Neither possibility is good for anyone, and I mean anyone.
If Trump continues this belligerence, and escalates global tensions by making a first strike on Korea, what do his supporters think will happen? America can just kick a hive of angry bees, and not get stung? If so, will it stop with Korea, or will that just fuel the ego to move on to Iran? How long is the rest of the world supposed to sit back in fear of Uncle Sam dragging us into nuclear annihilation?
Maybe, the most important question that Trump’s supporters should be asking themselves is, which city are you willing to lose, if he continues to escalate global tensions? . If a nation fears for its existence, it’s going to hit you with everything it has. What if China assumes it’s next, and decides to flatten you, before you flatten them? American politicians and their mocking bird media can talk tough all they want, because they’re not in the field risking their skin. But tough talk never counted for
$h!t.
Besides, I bet the ECU’s for all your guidance systems were made in China. Outsourced by the MIC to maximize profits, and maybe they were made with a built in insurance policy, in case the US tried to attack China.
Regardless, If SHTF, there is no way that the quality of our lives in the West can remain the same. So, to anyone who agrees with Trump’s aggressive use of military force, when we get blown up, remember that you asked for it.
