Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Who profits from the end of the mid-range nuclear treaty?

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Escobar explains why the ending the Intermediate-range Nuclear-Forces Treaty is very disturbing to the US Empire's European components which could further alienate their role as allies. Once again we see Trump's administration bumbling and dangerous qualities as he tries to "Make America Great Again". But then, look at the choices Americans had in the last "democratic" election: the vigorous and sophisticated aggressive foreign policies of a Hillary Clinton administration or the bumbling administration of a real estate tycoon.
