Brandon Weichert: ‘Donald Trump has brought up using NUCLEAR WEAPONS against Iran A LOT, the generals are constantly having to distract him.’ ‘I have been very worried. The N-word, nuclear war, has been a real nightmare of mine since about July… And the reason I was saying this back then is because people I still talk to in government were saying the President is bringing it up a lot with the joint chiefs, with the generals, and the generals are constantly having to change the subject like you would with a toddler. Like, “Oh, look at that, oh, look at that, we’ll use the MOAB instead.” That’s scary, and it means it’s on his mind, and we don’t want to have a President where that’s top of mind, particularly in an offensive capacity. But I watched the midterm results and they’re so decisive, there’s such a rebuke of this thing, whatever you want to call MAGA now, “Make Israel Great Again,” I think is what we should call it. You can’t help but say the President is done for. If he continues on as President for two years, which I don’t know if he will, if he continues on for the next two years, he’s basically a hostage of the Democrats in a gilded cage called the White House. He’s going to watch as the Democrats hollow out his administration. Bye-bye, Pete Hegseth. And he’s also worried about his future in terms of legal ramifications.’ Watch the full interview in the quoted post below 👇 @WeTheBrandon

Brandon Weichert: ‘The US🇺🇸 was NOT supposed to be an adventurous IMPERIAL POWER going abroad in search of monsters to destroy.’ ‘The reason I wrote the book is because last year, the Trump administration announced in their National Security Strategy memo and then again in their National Defense Strategy memo: judge us by the wars we don’t fight, not the wars we do fight. That’s what they said. And we were going to be focusing, they said, on the Western Hemisphere. Now, obviously, the Donroe Doctrine is not what I had in mind, but the idea that we were going to be doing Western Hemispheric defence on top of focusing on domestic issues here in the United States, that was what I thought was the Trump agenda, the Trump doctrine, if you will. But then by February 28th, as you know, the whole thing changed. It’s as if the President didn’t even read his National Security Strategy memo. So I felt compelled to write a book that reminded readers why we are not supposed to be this expeditionary, adventurous imperial power, going abroad in search of monsters to destroy, as John Quincy Adams once famously said, and we are supposed to be focused much closer to home. And now it’s a tripolar system internationally, trending multipolar. You could already say it is multipolar, but really there’s three main powers right now that are military and economic, and that’s the United States, China, and Russia. We need to have a better strategy than the one we’ve been using since 1991, because that one was predicated on hegemony. Well, we can’t be a hegemon anymore. We have spheres of influence, and we’re going to need to enforce the spheres of influence. China’s doing that in their part of the world. Russia’s doing that in their part of the world. We haven’t been doing it in our part of the world. And the key thing here is when I say enforce the sphere of influence, it’s not military first. It’s not send CIA paramilitaries to a country we don’t like in Latin America and knock off the country. The whole currency of the realm in 21st century international affairs is geoeconomics. It’s trade. First and foremost, it’s the economy, and so you have to be able to make your first point of contact in terms of foreign policy the economic front. The United States used to be good at this. This was what the founders wanted us to do. I quote George Washington effusively in the book. This goes back to the founding, a commercial republic, and that’s what we need to go back to. And unfortunately, under this President, we’ve lost sight of that completely.’ —@WeTheBrandon, Author of ‘Fortress Americas: A New Monroe Doctrine’ Watch the full interview in the quoted post below 👇
