Donald Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in defiance of “the military-industrial complex,” the “deep state” and the corporate media, is more evidence that his is the most “pro-peace presidency” since John F. Kennedy, said Dr. Anthony Monteiro, the Philadelphia-based Duboisian scholar. Trump’s “moves toward détente with Russia” and North Korea and “his opposition to regime change in Syria” show that he recognizes the decline in U.S. capabilities in a changing world, said Monteiro.

Trump is also a con-artist and a RIVAL NEO-LIBERAL deep state figure, don’t give him more credit than need be and while he want detente with Russia and North Korea he surrounds himself with Bush era and Republican warmongers whose goal is the opposite and ultimately see Trump as a Manchurian candidate. Also don’t expect Russia or the other BRICS to save the world, all are commited to economies that kill the planet and all are rival neo-liberal nations, India with its brutal caste system and building of nukes, China once Communist now a corporatist nation; Brazil in which far right neoliberals have gone into power through a coup, and Russia which has its atrocious income disparity, and its own rival imperial policies abroad although i support their actions in Syria and think detente and abolishing of NATO. Agreed with a lot of Anthony statements but my God a lot of what he says I just have to object & I don’t see the imperialism of the US retreating, nope! only getting stronger & tweaked.
