President-elect Donald Trump named Marco Rubio as secretary of state .

Marco Rubio is a neoconservative warmonger who holds hard-line views on Iran , China , Venezuela , and Cuba .

Julian Zelizer says the liberal establishment is thrilled with Rubio 's selection.

Zelizer: Some Democrats in Congress admit they are “pleasantly surprised” by the “caliber” of some of Trump ’s picks.

Americans are more tired of war than ever before and desperate for some kind of opposition to the US ’s bloodthirsty foreign policy.

The Blob believes the United States needs a long-term military effort to try to contain China or potentially draw it into a conflict.

Trump is not anti-war in any real ideological or moral terms, but he at least seems to understand the political downsides of protracted military engagements.
