Tweety draws many, many red lines in the world, beyond which no one knows what he will do, if anything.
Come on man! War? You do not want war! Tweety supporters, you do not want war!
The megalomaniac sociopath Tweety (with Steven Miller advice) is about to go to war, or make America hate more again.
"Trump Officially Restores The Cold War"
By Eric Zuesse Global Research, January 26, 2018

"On January 18th, the Trump Administration had issued its crucial document about how it will implement America’s national defense from now on. This document, the National Defense Strategy 2018, represents a continuation of U.S. President Barack Obama’s vision and intentions, but extends Obama’s hostility toward Russia, by adding Trump’s hostility toward China.
In December 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump had issued his National Security Strategy 2018 (the NSS2018); but, in keeping with his prior commitment to leaving to the generals the implementation of his national security policy, the Pentagon has now issued this National Defense Strategy 2018 (the NDS2018), which is signed only by Trump’s minister for war (Secretary of ‘Defense’), “Jim Mattis”; and it’s considerably more informative on what the practical meaning of NSS2018 will be. The meaning is: replacing hostility against “radical Islamic terrorism,” by hostility against Russia and China. This — building upon Obama’s imperial vision — is now Trump’s ‘Defense’ policy. Trump’s campaign talk had been against ‘radical Islamic terrorism’, but was merely bumper-sticker lying, to win votes, from an electorate that believed the differences between today’s Democratic and Republican Parties are more than bumper-sticker deep (which might once have been the case, but no longer really is)."
"Trump has drawn three red lines. They’re all likely to be crossed."
By Fareed Zakaria February 1, 2018
"President Trump’s State of the Union speech mostly ignored the world outside the United States. He made a few tough statements on the Iran deal and Guantanamo and described (accurately) the evil nature of the North Korean regime, but he said very little about his foreign policy. This masks a more dangerous reality. The Trump administration has in fact, either accidentally or by design, laid out aggressive markers in three parts of the world — three red lines — without any serious strategy as to what happens when they are crossed."
The quote of note:
"Thomas Schelling, the Nobel Prize-winning scholar of strategy, once remarked that two things are very expensive in international affairs: threats when they fail, and promises when they succeed."
Tweety has no foreign policy other than acting "the bull in a China Shop." Ironically, China is reacting . . [pun intended! lol}
"China condemns US over nuclear escalation, accusing Trump administration of 'Cold War mentality'"
Beijing criticises Pentagon report, calling on Washington to 'earnestly shoulder its special and prior responsibility for its own nuclear disarmament'
Lucy Pasha-Robinson 4 Feb 2018
"China has criticised suggestions by the US government that it could be a potential nuclear adversary, accusing the Trump administration of peddling a “Cold War mentality”.
The US defence department said its nuclear program had been tailored to “prevent Beijing from mistakenly concluding” that it could gain advantage by using its nuclear weapons in Asia.
But a spokesperson from China’s defence ministry said its arsenal is the “minimum level” required for security and called on Washington to reduce the size of its own weapons programme."
China sees the USA of today as a true threat to start a war. Everything Tweety does in foreign relations lacks diplomacy, and shows the worst side of our country. Tweety CANNOT BE TRUSTED!
Tweety CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!
"The ruling Communist Party’s military wing, the People’s Liberation Army, has the world’s fifth-largest nuclear arsenal, with 300 warheads, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The US and Russia each have about 7,000 warheads, or about 20 times as many as Beijing."
"Trump alarms China with ‘Cold War’ rhetoric in State of Union address"
By Simon Denyer January 31, 2018
"BEIJING — China raised alarms Wednesday over what it called President Trump’s “outdated Cold War mentality” after an address that described Beijing as a global rival and set a tougher line against China’s economic and military reach."
Here's the nub. Tweety's State of the Union [No doubt out of Steven Miller's sick mind]:
"“Around the world,” Trump said, “we face rogue regimes, terrorist groups and rivals like China and Russia that challenge our interests, our economy and our values. In confronting these horrible dangers, we know that weakness is the surest path to conflict, and unmatched power is the surest means to our true and great defense.”
Beijing was not pleased to be spoken of as a danger in the same breath as rogue regimes and terrorist groups, but Trump’s language did not come as a complete surprise."
Tweety / Steven Miller is just stupid. Tweety / Steven Miller cannot be trusted. Their White Nationalist paranoia will do significant harm to America.
"Despite a state visit last November during which Trump gushed about the lavish welcome he received and his bond with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, his administration has repeatedly signaled in recent weeks a new cynicism about China’s role in the world and the threat China represents.
“The idea of engagement has underpinned the U.S.-China relationship for decades,” Bill Bishop wrote in his Axios China newsletter. “Now the U.S. government appears to have declared engagement has failed.”
The change was spelled out most clearly by the White House in its National Security Strategy dated December 2017.
“For decades, U.S. policy was rooted in the belief that support for China’s rise and for its integration into the postwar international order would liberalize China,” the document says. “Contrary to our hopes, China expanded its power at the expense of the sovereignty of others.”
Among the complaints: that China gathers and exploits data on an unrivaled scale, and that it spreads features of its authoritarian system around the globe, including corruption and the use of surveillance. At the same time, China is building the most capable and well-funded military in the world, second only to that of the United States."
OK, this is not new and Tweety is responding, but to put China into the "rogue regimes" box is going too far. Using "rogue" does not fit China whatsoever, no more than if Tweety would label Russia as "rogue." Of course Tweety did not call out Russia as "rogue," and this is because he is indebted to Russia.
"How Comrade Trump Unleashed a Cold War in America"
There will still be an America after Trump. Our existence is not in doubt. But the nature of our existence—and, more importantly, the reason for our existence—is unclear.

So Tweety brining in a new Cold War was expected . . . . and Vanity Fair (VF)wants to say, no Tweety and the uSA is not in a new Cold War.
Ok.
How does VF explain it? A new Cold War has been on the wings for a few years, and I don't get it, and I do not understand why VF thinks it is not a cold war when we start building MORE nukes!
I think Peter Savodnik is the one confused, suggesting it is about ideas, not nukes. He's wrong. A new Cold War is an Arms Race, and Tweety is starting it! Peter says it is an idea. Yep, it is about surviving an attack from the USA when USA feels threatened, like we attacked Iraq!
"For at least a decade, Americans have been obsessing over the new Cold War about to break out between Russia and the West. In 2007, the much-anticipated tipping point was the Bush administration’s plan to install missile interceptors in Poland and the Czech Republic. In 2008, it was Russia invading Georgia. In 2009, it was Russia turning off the gas to Europe. In 2014, the invasion of Ukraine. In 2016, Russian meddling in U.S. elections. In 2017, Washington imposing sanctions on Moscow for that meddling. "
Well, maybe not?
"There is not going to be a new Cold War because the real Cold War was, at its essence, a clash of ideas. "
Peter, Peter, Peter. You miss the point. Tweety is unstable so the World has ot be ready for his next bit of verbal vomit to become a hot war!
"We are not waging a new Cold War with Russia, but Russia, as always, forces America to confront itself. It demands to know who we are, and it broadcasts to us all of our failures and misgivings—about America, the world, our role in it. The next president will necessarily do battle with Russia, but that battle will be contained. It will not be total. It will not be hot. It will not even be cold."
Wrong!
