Wesley Clark is a tool. \n\nHe knows very well that the US cannot get in a shooting with Russia. Not only due to the possibility of a nuclear exchange, but a shooting conflict with Russia is a golden opportunity for China to take Taiwan and for a full scale war to break out in the Middle East. Not only between Iran and Israel, Egypt has been building up forces near Israel as well. \n\nThe US can’t fight and win a 3 theatre war. Aka WWIII. \n\nEveryone knows these tariffs are about the USMCA, in addition to drugs and aliens. This could have been averted. They know it. They’d rather let their people suffer than give up a favorable trade imbalance for a slightly less favorable trade imbalance. \n\nBut for Trudeau to invoke appeasement knowing the real stakes. And knowing that the only thing preventing hostilities breaking out elsewhere in the world is the US having freedom of action to respond, is shameful. \n\nAnd Wesley Clark, along with the rest of the neocon geopolitical apparatus, being willing to flirt with WWIII because Trump is pulling the plug on their imperial project in Ukraine.. downright traitorous.
