Trump as the tool of the Neo-Cons for a "face saving exit" from the problems US is facing

From posts

Is or will Trump be the tool of the Neo-Cons for a "face saving exit" from the problems they are facing not only domestically but world wide?

One more "free election" and "democracy" play ended on US stage in where American people were given the "right" to choose "one" out of "two" parties of the elite establishment. Trump came out to be the triumphant one -since people did not have any other option. 

Will there be any change in the US foreign policy? Since it is claimed to be a "democracy", Trump is not selected as a "dictator" who can make any decision and implement them at his will. The same non-elected bureaucratic structure established by the elites will keep on making the decisions on any decisive policies related to the interests of the military industrial complex and finance capital. The same lobbies of the financial  industry will keep on buying the representatives and congressman to act inline with their interests. History has shown that no one is immune or has impunity when the interests of elites are concerned. If any one goes against those interests, either they disappear from the "stage of democracy " professionally or from the world permanently. 

US is  going through not only an economic crises, but political-strategic crises in the world. The crises are not easy to tackle with like before, during the mono-polar world order. Multipolar world order has become a world reality. As I have argued in few articles, US is looking for a "face saving exit" from the Ukraine war. Now facing another serious problem in Middle East most likely  for which they may have to seek another way of "face saving exit".

Lately they are facing serious problems in Asia, especially with the Taiwan issue and the risk of facing China in South East Asia. All of these issues are not easy to solve and there is no way to win a war in any one of them.

Here comes to the scene the "useful....." Trump. Probably, actually most likely, have been chosen as a great scapegoat candidate for all the previous and following negative developments and face saving exit practices. 

For any ML, neither of them can have their own policies and can implement those policies without the approval stamp of the non-elected bureaucratic structure of the Elite class- Finance Capital and Military Industrial Complex.  They may have certain flexibility in domestic policies within the allowed limitations, none can have foreign policies without the direct involvement and direction of the non-elected super structure of the elites. 

We will all wait and see.

An update to the previous post based on the questions. 

The argument that "Trump did beat the Neo-Cons " is a bourgeois left-liberal argument that does not reflect any realities and totally disconnected from the "political realities of the US (never mind the fact that it contradicts the ML concept and definition of state and the role of bureaucracy in capitalist system"). 

As I mentioned on earlier post, It is not the "elected officials-bureaucrats but the non-elected bureaucrats placed as the  gate-keepers at various decisive institutions, and newly appointed bureaucrats who will have decisive role in decision making. All we have to do is to study the non-elected, appointed bureaucrats to the key positions of the government. 

There is no list of appointees yet, however , listening to the "speakers" on behalf of Trump, it seems that the new non-elected bureaucrats will be more "hawkish" and more bellicose than the previous ones. Previous ones only chattered but never acted upon, new ones may well be both; "talkers and walkers". 

It is true that there are few factions in Neo-Cons, but the contradictions among them are not antagonistic. Russia-phobia, China-phobia factions.  Their "conflict" can easily be turned in to "concession" when it fits in the interests of Finance Capital and Military Industrial Complex. 

I stand by my initial argument that "Trump has been selected and won as a scapegoat" for all the things going wrong and will inevitably go wrong for  US and American people. He will be used as a great tool for "face saving exit" from Ukraine war, he may be able to get (or given) credit for that. But what he is facing is a Middle East crises impossible to solve without extending the war or setting up another very difficult "face saving exit". 

Tariff policies against China is and will be hurting US farmers and small to medium size businesses. That in turn will make the declining US economy worse (except of course for the Military industry). 

Neo-Cons are the representatives of Finance Capital and Military industrial complex. The factions within do fight -compete to serve the interests of Finance Capital interests best. To claim that "Trump beat the Neo-Cons" is a delusion and wishful thinking of those who still live in 1990s and the myths- fantasies created during that period. 

At best we can see a transition from the domination of Russia-phobia faction to China-phobia faction of Neo-Cons. 

To "beat" neo-Cons, requires revolution not fake-elections. And that revolution, as I argued numerous times, will probably be the last revolution after socialist revolutions in most of the countries in the world.  Elections at best can bring about the "realist" faction of the Neo-Cons who are extremely weak at the moment.
