Nikki Haley for President….of the War Party
Nikki Haley for President….of the War Party
Former South Carolina governor and Trump’s UN Ambassador Nikki Haley may be our next president. If GOP frontrunner Trump falters, second place Haley could move up to snatch the Brass Ring at the GOP Convention next July in Milwaukee and possibly the presidency.
Haley’s natural charisma in appearance and voice is a big factor in her rise along with her unique status as a woman in an all-male field.
But her ace card may be her bellicose defense of America’s fading world dominance that is resonating with jingoistic Republican voters. She promotes US intervention worldwide as humanity’s salvation.
“A strong America doesn’t start wars. A strong America prevents wars.” Haley ignores America’s destruction of Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, not to protect humanity, but to expand America’s world hegemony.
She claims the current US proxy war against Russia to maintain US control of Europe’s energy needs “is a war about freedom, and it’s one we have to win.” But she offers no plan for victory besides another $100 billion in weapons that will get hundreds of thousands more Ukrainians killed simply to keep Russia out of Europe’s political economy. The ‘freedom’ she hails is Zelensky’s kleptocracy shutting down opposing parties, suspending national elections, banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and silencing opposition journalists.
Regarding Israel’s utter destruction and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, Haley calls on Netanyahu to “finish them.” She claims “It is not that Israel needs America. America needs Israel”, forgetting that Israel needs our $3.8 billion yearly in US weapons to finish off the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
Haley stokes war with Iran trumpeting “We need to go and take out their infrastructure that they are using to make those (Hamas) strikes with so they can never do it again.”
Pivoting to the Far East Haley wades in with “Communist China is an enemy. It is the most dangerous foreign threat we’ve faced since the Second World War.” That sure doesn't stop Haley and most Americans from buying trillions in Chinese made goods.
Closer to home Haley promotes war with Mexico. "When it comes to the cartels, we should treat them like the terrorists that they are. I would send special operations in there and eliminate them just like we eliminated ISIS and make sure that they know there's no place for them. If Mexico won't deal with it, I'll make sure I deal with it."
Can you imagine Nikki Haley in the Oval Office during the Cuban Missile Crisis?
It’s not other countries, it’s Nikki Haley’s bombastic charges and threats against countries near and far voters should worry about. The last place she should move to in 14 months is the White House.
