Linda Goudsmit: President Donald J. Trump is a brilliant businessman who understands that economic wars are won and lost without bullets. The problem is that our America 1st president assumes that ideological wars can be won and lost with economics––it is a fatal mistake. President Trump is making the same mistake in his trade deals in the Middle East with Muslim nations, that Nixon/Kissinger made in opening trade with Communist China in 1971. Americanism is associated with the colors red, white, and blue. Communism is associated with the color red, and Islam with the color green. The red/green ideologies are existential enemies of the red, white, and blue. Any short term red/green trade deals are just pauses in the ideological wars against the red, white, and blue. Why is this true? Because the red and green ideologies are long-term, binary, socio-political, supremacist, expansionist world views that fully intend to rule the entire planet. What about the western globalist elite? The western globalist elite are the most dangerous existential enemies of Americanism and our constitutional republic. Globalism is the third binary socio-political ideology of rulers and ruled that seeks the destruction of all nation-states, and our constitutional republic in particular. Americanism, with its upward mobility and middle class, is the exception to the binary red/green and globalist totalitarian political ideologies. President Donald Trump and MAGA republicans are committed to the preservation and protection of Americanism and freedom in our constitutional republic––they courageously stand against servitude in the globalist Unistate, the Communist Unistate, or the Islamic Unistate.

- Iran knows exactly what it is doing. It is playing a game it has mastered for decades: stall, confuse, buy time, bring in the well-intentioned but toothless International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). All the regime needs to win the negotiations is to entrench enforceability and retain the ability to work in secret down the pike.
