    I remain convinced - grow more so virtually every day in fact - that the long-term goal of Trump and the fascist right is to formally ally with Russia in a war against the EU/NATO.

    Much more to the point, it will be a war of plutocratic oligarchy against social democracy.

      How many conscripted soldiers do you think will kill other poor people vs turn on the oligarchs?

        By the time the oligarchs are done laying the groundwork, none to speak of.

        The American people are going to be beaten down and inundated with propaganda all along the way, and the troublemakers are going to be disappeared. All that’s going to be left are the true believers, the hopeless and the cowards - anyone woth the wherewithal to take a stand against the oligarchs will already be in a prison camp or mass grave.
