Only months ago Donald Trump’s chief strategist predicted military involvement in east Asia and the Middle East in Breitbart radio shows

The United States and China will fight a war within the next 10 years over islands in the South China Sea, and “there’s no doubt about that”. At the same time, the US will be in another “major” war in the Middle East.

Those are the views – nine months ago at least – of one of the most powerful men in Donald Trump’s administration, Steve Bannon, the former head of far-right news website Breitbart who is now chief strategist at the White House.

In the first weeks of Trump’s presidency, Bannon has emerged as a central figure. He was appointed to the “principals committee” of the National Security Council in a highly unusual move and was influential in the recent travel ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries, overruling Department of Homeland Security officials who felt the order did not apply to green card holders.

It's not like we weren't warned. But too many bought into the lies of a "corrupt Hillary Clinton" and decided to "vote their conscience" in crucial battleground States. They just refused to do right by this country because their feels were more important than the threat of an war-mongering autocracy under a Trump/Putin Administration.

Now it's here.

When the draft--and make no mistake, there will be a draft--comes around, I hope all those who had refused to vote for Hillary Clinton will happily get their family to enlist in order to fight the many wars Trumputin has planned for the U.S., and I mean ALL who refused to listen to reason and assert common sense.
