Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Robert O’Brien – tipped to play a leading role if the ex-president returns to the White House – backtracked on parts of his proposal to sever US-China economic ties, an aspect of which called for sending the entire US Marine Corps to Asia.
O’Brien, who recently submitted a 5,000-word article outlining his thinking to Foreign Affairs, explained on Sunday that instead of the “entire US Marine Corps”, it would be only the “fighting force”. And he said some Marines would still be stationed at bases like California’s Camp Pendleton and North Carolina’s Camp Lejeune.
“We want to stop a war, and the way to stop the war is through strength,” O’Brien said on Sunday’s edition of CBS Face the Nation. “Moving the Marine Corps to the Pacific and moving the carrier battle group to the Pacific would show the kind of strength needed to deter a war.”
In the essay, titled The Return of Peace Through Strength, O’Brien argued for the US to help expand the militaries of Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam; increase military assistance to Taiwan; and boost missile defense as well as fighter jet protection in the region.
He also called for renewed plutonium and enriched uranium production – as well as the resumption of live nuclear-weapons testing.……

Ex-Trump security adviser backtracks on proposal to send all Marines to Asia
Robert O’Brien explains his outline to sever US-China economic ties would only be to send in ‘fighting force’
He’s an idiot, period.Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Robert O’Brien – tipped to play a leading role if the ex-president returns to the White House – backtracked on parts of his proposal to sever US-China economic ties, an aspect of which called for sending the entire US Marine Corps to Asia.

If MAGA is whining about prices now, wait until the supply lines of cheap goods are severed.
As for expanding the militaries of Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines? Well, that will just make China quake in their shoes. How does the largest Muslim nation on the planet, Indonesia, feel about Trump’s idiocy regarding Muslims? Do we ignore Japan? What do other countries think about Japan’s military? What about rare earth minerals which are necessary for ALL electronics including military electronics?
Oh, don’t anyone tell SFL.

[sarcasm]Chip Roy belongs here. I’m sure Musk’s “free speech” brigade will be letting old Chip know that people are entitled to speak their opinions in this country. Oh, and several MAGAs with “free speech absolutist” or similar in their bios are in the replies saying they agree with old Chip. Irony so thick you can taste it. Just in case anyone still believes any MAGA believe in the Bill of Rights or the American system of government, this should disabuse you of that notion.

Charlie Kirk stepped out on to the stage at the Turning Point Action convention in Detroit, Michigan, this month as though it were him – and not his hero Donald Trump – who was running for president. Red, white and blue strobe lights buzzed over the 2,000-strong crowd, pyrotechnics blazed around him and bass speakers boomed out so loudly that it made your bone marrow quake.
“Welcome, everybody, to the people’s convention,” Kirk exclaimed, prompting chants of “USA! USA!” Then he launched into his trademark stew of far-right populism, do-or-die patriotism and Christian nationalism.
“The future of the greatest nation that ever existed hangs in the balance,” he said, beseeching his followers to do all they could to save the American republic by saving Trump. “We do our part, and we trust in God to do the rest.”
Kirk has come a long way since he founded Turning Point USA in 2012 as a conservative student organization. He was 18, and by his own account had “no money, no connections and no idea what I was doing”.
In little over a decade, he has transformed the group from a campus-based network of “anti-woke” teenagers into a far-right powerhouse and fundraising behemoth – able to entice Trump to headline two Turning Point events this month alone, including the Detroit “people’s convention”.
Offstage, Kirk has had a seismic impact on the Republican party at both the state and national level. Now, in the thick of a historically critical presidential election, Kirk is aspiring to go one bigger.………
Kirk’s outsized influence on the Republican party is seen nowhere more clearly than in Arizona, where TP USA has been headquartered since 2018. In a few short years, the group has transformed the Arizona legislature by replacing moderate Republicans with far-right Trump acolytes.
“Turning Point has become toxic in Arizona,” said Tyler Montague, an Arizona-based Republican strategist. “They’ve helped to cement an extreme worldview, creating anger that in turn generates political energy that they harness. That’s their game.”……
As a result of his own removal, and that of other moderate Republicans, Bowers told the Guardian that he now sees the Arizona Republican party and Turning Point as synonymous.
“They are basically the same, they are in sync right now,” he said. “They wrap themselves in a Christian flag and get all these young kids to think they’re doing the Lord’s work, and they use that evangelistic fervor very cynically to raise money and increase their power.”…….

Charlie Kirk once unified conservative youth for Trump. Why are Republicans now turning on him?
Kirk’s non-profit, Turning Point Action, is planning a $100m ‘chase the vote’ operation to help propel the ex-president to the White House, but his outsized influence is being subjected to scrutiny
