[marxmail] Trump, Iran, North Korea, China & Russia: U.S. capitalists can’t be happy

Trump representative Rodney Mims Cook is overseeing the reconstruction of
the East Wing. Cook is also a fanboy of Tsarist Russia and he's meeting
privately with Putin representatives who would dearly like to penetrate the
East Wing. Trump is also favoring N. Korea over S. Korea, which also
benefits China. Trump's war with Iran has also crippled the U.S. Navy and
its "force projection".  We talked with a worker who follows U.S. military
and intelligence news closely. He explained the details and then commented:

*Speaker 1*
Like, take Idi Amin, or Mugabi, or something like that. Those are two
examples from there. But then, like, think of the situation in Hungary to
some extent, you can, or even in something in the UK, where you could have
like the Atlee government, or you know, there’s like varieties of different
smaller governments where we start to say like the capitalists are is out
of line with the leadership there right now, and they’re not happy with
what’s going on at the time, right? And we sort of see that because we look
and say, “okay, these are smaller countries,” and it’s easier for us to be
able to understand this dynamic of the capitalist losing control of a
leader in a given country when we’re dealing with these other countries.
But because we’ve lived in an era where the United States capitalist class
has been so organized, so dynamic, and so hegemonic, we don’t really have
the ability to imagine in our heads they’ve lost control of the leader of
this country because it just doesn’t really compute because we don’t have
examples of it. What I’m saying is, let’s take a step back here. Obviously,
profits are crazy high, and they’re happy with that, right? But there’s no
way, and if you just read the Wall Street Journal and they’re not happy
with the way the situation with Russia is being handled, and there’s no way
they’re happy with the way that North Korea is being handled. Like, look,
the capitalists of four major countries that we would say definitively are
the major enemies of the United States capitalists, are Russia, China,
North Korea, and Iran. This president has made all of them stronger. How
could the U.S. capitalist class be in favor of making all of its biggest
rivals stronger? Not. They are going along with this because Trump has a
degree of political power that’s inconsistent, according to the way that
we’ve always understood American politics. That’s why there’s all these
discussions about political crises and this is unprecedented and blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah. Because even the U.S. capitalist class itself
doesn’t really know what to do in a scenario like this because they’ve
never met a situation where they’ve lost control over the president. It’s
happening. It’s totally illogical to say that they’re still driving the
bus, and he’s making these many blatant strategic blunders that whether
they’re actually blunders or he’s brainwashed or whatever it is, he can’t
make these many concessions to the United States capitalists’ enemies and
expect everyone in the bourgeoisie of the United States to be happy with
it, I would say the majority of them are definitely not. That would suggest
they’re not in full control of the situation. He kind of lost some control
in the first term. Now that he’s come back for the second term, he’s
realized that a lot of this stuff is just based off norms and who you
decide to appoint. And he decided to say, “Fuck all that. I’m gonna do what
I like,” and the things he decided he likes to do is totally undermine the
U.S. strategic position at every turn. Yeah..."
