this is huge for me just as a thought exercise of trump as pres. this is the only way trump stands out from other republicans. his foreign policy hasn't been good but how we've not been any major military conflicts while hes been president is baffling to me. its crazy trump is the only one that wants troops out of afghanistan in both parties. of course all of this isn't for any righteous reason or anything it's all part of some grift i'm sure, foreign policy decisions he's made outside of boots on the ground rhetoric have been awful (moving the embassy in israel, assassinating that guy from iran, trying his hardest to stoke conflict with china)
He's not started hot wars, but has restarted a cold war, and has by accident/on purpose fomented a civil war.
Do not forget that he did almost get us into a war with Iran when they obliterated a senior government official, then as a peace offering did not acknowledge/lied about the retaliation on US troops.
yea i'm talking exclusively about the bush wars continued under obama. i guess the fact they were continued by obama explains his hard on for ending them though...
