In the wake of the United States’ military operation in Venezuela—including the abduction of the murderous, communist, dictator Nicolás Maduro—Professor Salim Mansur of Western University and Robert Vaughan examine the profound ramifications. Domestically, the action raises serious questions about the U.S. Constitution, as only Congress holds the authority to declare war. Internationally, it appears to contravene established norms of international law.

Although the Trump administration’s conduct violated constitutional principles in principle, such actions are far from unprecedented. Every U.S. president since the end of World War II has engaged in military interventions without formal congressional declarations of war. Similarly, on the global stage, violations of international law by permanent members of the UN Security Council—endowed with veto power—have occurred repeatedly without effective consequences.

Our conversation underscores a troubling reality: the United States, often regarded as exceptional by various measures, operates beyond meaningful constraints of international law due to its veto in the Security Council. Likewise, the president appears increasingly unbound by the Constitution, given historical precedent and Congress’s consistent failure to assert its authority—often through tacit bipartisan acquiescence.

Both the U.S. Constitution and the United Nations framework have proven impotent when confronted with a president acting unilaterally in what he deems the best interest of American citizens.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, President Trump was asked whether any checks existed on his power on the world stage. He replied: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop (me).” When pressed on international law, he added, “I don’t need international law. I’m not looking to hurt people.”

Some may view this stance as echoing President Truman’s famous motto, “The buck stops here”—an assertion of personal responsibility. Others, however, may interpret it as monarchical in character. As Salim noted in our conversation, “Donald Trump is not following in the footsteps of George Washington. Donald Trump is now the George III of America.”

History since World War II demonstrates that U.S. presidents have proven largely unstoppable in such matters, with American forces overwhelmingly dominant. As Salim also observes, “The cost of enforcement can only lead to further conflict—a conflict, especially in the age of nuclear weapons, that nobody can say how it will end.”

Robert Vaughan was interviewed by Rasheed Muhammad on The Red Pill Diaries on December 26.

With a formal background in psychology and as a political commentator for Just Right Media, Robert delved into a range of topics. He began with an examination of the psychological mindset of Western leaders, whom he characterized as morally corrupt, psychopathic, or sociopathic figures influenced by subjectivist philosophies derived from Karl Marx, the Frankfurt School, post-structuralism, and contemporary woke ideology.

He contrasted this with an objective view of reality and critiqued the leaders’ lack of self-reflection, empathy, or willingness to admit errors, attributing their behavior to a pursuit of power and corruption.

Later in the discussion, topics included media manipulation and state funding in Canada, the intentional dumbing down of education systems leading to societal decline, and the role of blackmail, cliques, and the deep state in perpetuating detrimental policies, such as support for Ukraine and neoconservative foreign interventions.

The dialogue also addressed the rapid cultural and moral decay in the West, disappointments with figures like Donald Trump, the influence of bureaucracy on presidents, and America’s historical shift toward global hegemony contrary to its founding principles.

The discussion concluded with an analysis of the rise of the Global South, China’s economic and technological ascendancy, the end of unipolar U.S. dominance, and optimism for a multipolar world focused on individual peace and flourishing rather than enforced domination.

Neoconservatism Part III — America Betrayed

 Foreign Relations, Globalism, Latest, Military, Politics, Video  Comments Off on Neoconservatism Part III — America Betrayed
May 072025
 


In the third installment of our discussion on neoconservatism, Professor Salim Mansur examines the post-Soviet era, a period marked by complex dynamics and post-Cold War tensions. Rather than embracing Russia as a potential ally and a nascent democracy recovering from decades of communism and autocratic rule, the United States eventually came to cast it as a new “monster to destroy.”

This shift undermined America’s founding principle of rational isolationism with limited international engagement as it sought to maintain hegemony in an emerging multipolar world. The pivot fueled hostility both domestically and internationally, channeling billions into the military-industrial complex and perpetuating endless conflict.

Central to this narrative is the unwavering defense of Israel, which, alongside the focus on Russia, shapes American foreign policy. Crafted by neoconservatives and embraced by hawks across administrations since George H. W. Bush, this dual focus has defined U.S. global strategy. The neoconservative agenda, explicitly outlined in the Project for the New American Century (1997), drove NATO expansion and heightened tensions in the Middle East.

Ultimately, neoconservatism has betrayed America’s early ideals, costing countless lives, squandering vast fortunes, and tarnishing the reputation of a once-great nation.

Neoconservatism Part II — The Power Elite

Millions have died or suffered as a result of conflicts associated with the neoconservative ideas which have shaped American foreign policy. To understand and critique these policies effectively, it is crucial to examine the background and motivations of neoconservatives.

In Part II of our discussion on neoconservatism, we examine how, growing up in the United States as descendants of Eastern European Jewish immigrants, neocons have spent the last half-century weaving a network of allies. According to their own writings from the Project for the New American Century, their mission is to enforce a global “democratic” hegemony, with the United States at the helm and Israel as a key ally.

Fueled by the ancestral memory of exclusion—physically in the ghettos of Czarist Russia’s Pale of Settlement and ideologically by Stalinist Russia, which rejected the international communism of Leon Trotsky (né Lev Davidovich Bronstein)—these neoconservatives, whose ideas are neither “new” nor “conservative,” have banded together in a sort of loose coalition to address their historical grievances.

Their instrument of vengeance is the imposition of “democracy” worldwide however ironic that might seem. To this end, they’ve barnacled themselves to the Republican Party, despite their ideological leanings being more aligned with the Democratic Party—a party associated with racial elitism and a form of unfettered democracy, which contradicts the foundational principles of the American Republic. They propagate the false notion that only a democratic world, reminiscent of Trotsky’s globalist vision, can be truly just and good, a vision to be realized through the might of the American military-industrial complex.

While it seems that most neoconservatives have moved away from traditional religious affiliations, they maintain, perhaps subconsciously as a result of their culture, that they have been chosen to guide world affairs. This perverse belief can be likened to Plato’s “Noble Lie,” suggesting that leadership should be reserved for those considered inherently superior.

Maxime Bernier responds to Trump’s tariff threats

Robert Vaughan sat down with Maxime Bernier to discuss President Trump’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods crossing the border. Maxime Bernier states that the economic policies of the People’s Party of Canada would diffuse President Trump’s protectionist rhetoric, leading to more amicable negotiations and a deal beneficial to both nations.

The PPC’s policies, if implemented, would eliminate supply management, end all subsidies on lumber, oil, and gas, and dismantle the dairy cartel. These issues, according to Trump’s resent remarks, are the main stumbling blocks to freer trade with the United States. A zero-percent inflation target, also a PPC policy, would make Canada more competitive by stabilizing the purchasing power of the Canadian dollar.

Bernier also noted that before achieving freer trade with the US, Canada should remove inter-provincial barriers to trade, which increase the domestic cost of goods. He emphasized that it’s a matter of putting our own house in order before criticizing the trade practices of another country.

Also in this presentation Bernier gives a quick and blistering critique of the legacy of the Trudeau government now that Trudeau has announced his resignation.

To understand why the United States maintains approximately 800 military bases in about 80 foreign countries and has been involved in numerous armed conflicts globally, it’s essential to examine its foreign policy of neoconservatism.

Professor Salim Mansur of Western University provides us with a master class on neoconservatism, tracing its roots back to the influx of Eastern Europeans into the American cultural matrix during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He examines how many of these newcomers and their descendants came to influence U.S. foreign policy, transforming it from the isolationist and benign approach intended by the Founding Fathers to one that is interventionist and belligerent.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to suspend his campaign and support Trump in the swing states marks a momentous shift in American politics.

His castigation of the Democratic Party as a party of “war, censorship, corruption, big pharma, big tech, big ag, and big money” has all but gutted Kamala Harris’ chance to become President.

Professor Salim Mansur of Western University joins Just Right Media’s Robert Vaughan to discuss this historic decision by Kennedy to put county before party.
