    With "hawks" changing Trump's attitude (who previously referred to conflict with Iran as an electoral gimmick), are we seeing a new phase of the Military Industrial Complex as decision-making is corrupted and becomes alien to any sense of the public good for the American peoples?

    Military Industrial Complex analysis is liberal political economy, highlighting how 'accidental' war occurs through self-interest. Accountability does seem a problem with this current regime, arguably made worse by a Democrat Party seemingly incapable of offering any alternative to populism.

    And those right wingers that care about limited government as public good delivery? They'll be all over this too :)

    Liberals who ignored Clinton's aggression might be a little sheepish mind you...
