The Impeachment of President Donald Trump
Advances reasons for describing Donald Trump as the most disastrous American president ever
woeful in his foreign policy and George W. Bush concocted lies to invade Iraq, wasting a generation in that needless war. But Donald Trump is in a class and category way beyond the pale.
First: A Threat to the World Order Post WW11
The new world order post world war 11 initiated by the victorious allied powers (US, Britain, France & USSR) was to the intent that never again will any nation(s) rise up and become a threat to the peace, stability and security of the rest of the world. This was necessitated by the expansionist activities of Nazi Germany which perpetrated unspeakable atrocities during the just ended war (1939 -1945) claiming almost 30 million lives at its end. Off course, while Hitler’s Germany was terrorizing Europe, Imperial Japanese Military, having effectively devastated its neighbors, mainly China, proceeded to bomb Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii in an unprovoked and what eventually became a historic turning point in the war but critically, forever shaped and changed world geopolitics.
This bombing of Pearl Harbor was the strategic incident that drew America into the 2nd world war raging in Europe and the atrocities of Imperial Japan against its neighbors. The rest as they say is history. Suffice to say, having defeated Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, “axis powers”, (together with Italy), the allied powers created global organizations; The United Nations, NATO, IMF, World Bank, IBRD, etc.; to enforce and maintain peace, foster cultural and trade cooperation, share intelligence all in a bid to avoid a repeat of the colossal human carnage and humongous destruction to global order of WW2.
