Impeachment and Guerrilla Warfare
The U.S. Senate will not impeach Donald Trump the sitting president, for the simple reason that you are not expected to go against the family, the Republican Party in this case. Kids from the same mother might vary in height, intelligence and temperament but they all call her mama.
Ukraine is watching the impeachment proceedings, so does the rest of the world. President Trump will walk out a free man, with just a milligram of a historical stain that he was unsuccessfully impeached, but that outcome might have an adverse effect on Americans abroad.
U.S. citizens who have never lived outside its borders have no idea of how some countries feel about their presidents, especially Donald Trump.
Trump will walk after the impeachment attempt. When he walks, he might deliver the main course after the Iran starters, where he ordered the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani, the man in charge of the Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. Should he order another killing, his foes globally might fine tune guerrilla warfare. Why?
Trump boasts that the U.S. is the greatest military power in the world and he can use Iran’s ‘disastrous mistake’ as an example. A lot happened in what we can call bloody 2020 January.
He killed Soleimani. Iran grieved and promised swift retaliation and attacked U.S. bases in Iraq. In the process, Iran’s act brought down a Ukraine International Airlines’ plane from Tehran on its way to Kyiv on January 8, killing 176 civilians. No survivors. Iran said it was a ‘disastrous mistake’.
Guerrilla Warfare
This type of warfare is not only in the history books. It is a living memory for American Vietnam War vets in their wheelchairs or when they think how they lost legs and arms.
They were in the trenches of a foreign country as part of the ‘greatest military power in the world’ but they couldn’t fight the enemy because they could not see it, the key element of guerilla warfare.
September 11, 2001. Guerrilla warfare right in urban America, not in ditches abroad. Most Americans and Canadians have never felt the need to learn other languages because they think they are the centre of the universe, so they don’t know how some countries reacted to 9/11.
Countries that are victims of U.S. guns and ammunition said finally, Americans know how it feels like to be killed by a foreign power in your own backyard. That was before Donald Trump.
What might water seedlings of another 9/11 is Trump’s brush with impeachment. It will increase his perceived invincibility. Trust his Twitter account to do that.
Internationally, he will capitalize on Iran’s mistake. All the world will remember is that Iran shot down the Ukraine International Airlines’ plane with 176 passengers on board and not Trump’s assassination of General Soleimani, that started the whole thing.
What makes the world a dangerous place is a man who seems to be comfortable with acting on his gut feel, bypassing most committees mandated to look at all aspects of waging war. U.S. allies are also wary of such a man. They are always worried about what Trump will tweet in the next hour.
What makes the world a dangerous place is the conclusion by U.S. enemies that guerrilla warfare at home and abroad is the only solution, because during the 9/11 clean-up, not only American passports were found in the rubble. There were gold, black, blue, green and red passports.
