Republican Loss Shifts Conflict from Abroad to Internal US as Democrats Move In for Mopping Up Operations
Sulaiman Ahmed and PCR discuss US foreign policy implications of the Republican loss of the midterm election. PCR suggested the Republican Senator Ron Johnson is correct that the Democrats will use their new strength and Republican weakness to marginalize the Republicans and achieve one-party rule, and that this opportunity will shift their energy to internal conflict in the USA and away from external conflict against Russia and Iran. In the New Democrats PCR sees revolutionaries, not reformers. Their agenda is to change America, not Iran and Russia.
Asked about Trump’s announcement of a land blockade against Iran, PCR suggested that it is a way for Trump to avoid military conflict without looking like he has given up the conflict. PCR thinks a land blockade has scant prospect of success.
Here are loaded trucks from Pakistan awaiting entry into Iran. Is Pakistan going to forgo these revenues in order to accommodate a repudiated Trump?
