The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity : War Breaks Out Between Neo-Cons And Libertarians Over Trump's Foreign Policy
Taking
a page out of Ron Paul's book, the libertarians, isolationists and
realists see an opportunity to pull back America's commitments around
the world, spend less money on foreign aid and “nation-building,”
curtail expensive military campaigns and troop deployments, and
intervene militarily only to protect American interests. In short: these
are people who believe that human life, and the avoidance of war, is
more valuable than another record quarter for Raytheon, Lockheed or
Boeing.
On the other hand, the so-called establishment camp,
many of whom disavowed Trump during the campaign, is made up of the same
people who effectively ran Hillary Clinton's tenure while she was
Secretary of State, fully intent on creating zones of conflict,
political instability and outright war in every imaginable place, from
North Africa to Ukraine. This group is pushing for Stephen Hadley, who
served as national security adviser under George W. Bush. Another Bush
ally, John Bolton whose name has been floated as a possible secretary of
State, also falls into this camp.
