• US Military Part of the Campaign to Dump Trump in the Nov. Election: Ex-US Diplomat

  Former US diplomat and political commentator J Michael Springmann says he believes the US military is now part of the campaign against President Donald Trump to dump him in the November election.

  Springmann made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Sunday while commenting on Trump’s statement that the United States is “ending the era of endless wars.” Trump told West Point’s graduating class on Saturday that their job will be to defend “America’s vital interests” and not fight “endless wars” in faraway lands.

  In his address to the US Military Academy at West Point, Trump said that the job of the American soldier was not to rebuild foreign nations but “defend, and defend strongly, our nation from foreign enemies.” “We are ending the era of endless wars,” Trump said. It is not the job of American forces “to solve ancient conflicts in faraway lands that many people have not even heard of,” he said.

  Springmann said that “Trump’s remarks at West Point are seemingly contradictory and show the idiot nature of the reaction from the rest of the American government such as from the corrupt, incompetent, and illegitimate Congress.”

  “Trump says he’s going to remove 9500 soldiers from Germany, and then reposition them to the east in Poland, closer to Russia. I don’t see how this brings American soldiers home from foreign countries to defend American interests. I have no idea what American interests are in Poland that requires an additional 9500 soldiers there. We are not at war with Poland. We’re not at war with Russia,” he added.

  “Although I think a lot of these neocons and the American government would like to have a situation like that,” he said. “The issue of course is that Trump is continuing with his foreign wars. During his campaign, four years ago he said that he was against the Forever War against Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East and South Asia, yet he’s continued the wars, and he’s not withdrawn any real number of soldiers. They claim he’s done it from Syria, but I haven’t yet seen anything other than him repositioning soldiers to take over the oil wells in Syria,” he stated.
