Trump Continues to Prove Woods’ Law is Correct
“No matter who you vote for, you always end up with John McCain”
Thomas E. Woods Jr., a libertarian historian and political commentator, is widely credited with coining a fiercely accurate axiom about modern American politics:
“No matter who you vote for,” he opined, “you always get John McCain.”
This was Woods’ way of saying that, when it comes to foreign policy and war, ALL US Presidents act in the same way, and on behalf of the same interests.
And when I say “all”, I mean every President since John F. Kennedy.
Indeed, the John McCain example is incredibly apt. The former Senator from Arizona is also famous for dismissing Russia, a country which has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, as nothing more than “a gas station masquerading as a country” — a backwater ripe for defeat.
And the sad and dangerous thing is that now every leader in the Western world agrees with him. Indeed, they are all just as idiotic as that elitist psychopath was.
