Liberal Republicans' Favorite Walking Meme James Mattis: America Must Abandon an "America First" Foreign Policy and Instead Put the World's Interests Ahead of Our Own

Ah yes, perfect.

The Permanent Ruling Class Uniparty is back, baby!

Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis declared in an article in Foreign Affairs on Monday that the "America First: foreign policy had damaged national security, and called on Joe Biden to "eliminate 'America first'" from U.S. strategy.

Mattis resigned in December 2018, citing policy disagreements with the president, who had just ordered a troop drawdown in Syria. In his resignation letter, Mattis said that the U.S. needed to do more to show "respect" to American allies.

...

In his new article, however, Mattis [calls] for the “end of America First”:

In January, when President Joe Biden and his national security team begin to reevaluate U.S. foreign policy, we hope they will quickly revise the national security strategy to eliminate "America first" from its contents, restoring in its place the commitment to cooperative security that has served the United States so well for decades. The best strategy for ensuring safety and prosperity is to buttress American military strength with enhanced civilian tools and a restored network of solid alliances--both necessary to achieving defense in depth. The pandemic should serve as a reminder of what grief ensues when we wait for problems to come to us.

"Enhanced civilian tools?"

Motherfucker, you and your deep state allies used treasonous deception and insubordination to take foreign policy and warmaking out of civilian hands -- Trump's -- and put them into your own.

He also talks up making "Greater peace" with China.

China First, in other words.

All the Deep State grifters -- the people who spend their retirement years joining corporate boards and raking in millions for peddling influence -- are very much on the China First train.

Yay! Let's force more Americans into a permanent underclass by shipping their last remaining jobs to China! While meanwhile importing both legal and illegal workers to do the last remaining work we can't physically outsource to China!

Can you feel the Patriotism of this social class of treasoners?

Can you see how intensely committed they are to helping out the Workin' Man?
