Ah, come on, SCG. Be a good sport. You spent the last 6 months telling us Hillary was the neo-con in this election. Turns out Trump's short list of cabinet appointments is filled with neo-con Bush cronies, and he's increasing defense spending. When he "bombs the shit out of ISIS" his first day in office, probably resulting in 10 times the civilian casualties of Shock and Awe. What will you say then? He was just testing the weapons?
None of that is a surprise. He's been talking about bombing ISIS. He does have neo cons around him. None of this is news. But it's very telling he didn't have full support from
The neo cons. Not from the most evil William Kristol and his circle. Not from the Bush family.
Hillary was just the first choice, she's a sure thing for these people. Trump ran as a populist so talking tough on ISIS helped him. He just doesn't sound interested in being enemies with Russia, and neo cons want to be enemies with almost everyone but Isreal.
It's all a matter of degrees.
Increasing defense spending still doesn't necessarily equal war. Very simple concept.
