Deep-State Deep Fake? --The prospect of nuclear war looms larger By CLG News Founder Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., with h/t to Lori Price | 18 Nov 2024 | Was Biden's smiley-faced meeting with Trump to discuss the peaceful transfer of power proof that the whole heated contest between the political rivals -- Trump v. Biden, Trump v. Harris -- was nothing but Kabuki theater? No, the deep state apparently favors the neocon Democrats in power to the incoming Trump administration, despite Trump's promises to "rebuild" the military and to erect an Iron-Dome-like missile defense system for the United States. Donald Trump has, after all, threatened peace. The deep state demands a much faster burn rate than Trump's peace plans or his past presidential tenure would suggest. And such a burn rate only comes with war.
