Fire McMaster

Who influences Mad King Trump the most? At first it seemed to be Jared Kushner, business boy. Then this dude and that dude.  In fact the key adviser for recent Presidents has been the national security advisor. Right now that's General H. McMaster.  How long will he last with Trump, and should we care?

Look at what H. McMaster published in the Wall Street Journal.

General McMaster: "The world is not a 'global community' but an arena where nations, non-governmental actors and businesses engage and compete for advantage. We bring in this forum unmatched military, political, economic, cultural and moral strength. Rather than deny this elemental nature of international affairs, we embrace it."

In short, the world is an arena and simultaneously a forum where actors and businesses compete. We have unmatched moral strength, especially when grabbing international affairs by the genitalia. And we like it that way.

McMaster's view of our human interactions as ruthless, elemental and brutal combat is nuts, but if you are a dim-witted general, what you see in the arena from your soft seat at the forum will always be combat. If you are a hammer, what you see is nails. It's time for McMaster to retire.
