1. In his 2000 book “The America We Deserve,” Trump argued that a military strike on Iraq might be necessary.

2. When radio host Howard Stern asked Trump in September 2002 if he is “for invading Iraq,” Trump responded, “Yeah, I guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly.”

3. Trump increased troop levels in warzones.

4. In 2019, air strikes from the US and its allies in Afghanistan killed 700 civilians, more than in any other year since the beginning of the war in 2001 and 2002

5. The US dropped more bombs on Afghanistan in 2019 than any other year since the Pentagon began keeping a tally in 2006.

6. He vetoed a measure to force the end to U.S. Involvement in Yemen War.

7. He vetoed bills intended to block arms sales to Saudi Arabia

8. He destroyed all progress with Iran via the Nuclear Deal and then dropped a bomb on an Iranian General.

9. He abandoned America's Kurdish allies, ask them as they're being slaughtered if the world is more peaceful.

10. He said of Russia invading a NATO country "I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want."

11. SvennoJ can and has already posted about how Trump's policies directly led to inflaming tensions around Israel.

12. The Russo-Ukrainian War started in 2014 and then escalated into a Full-Scale Invasion in 2022. I did not see Trump stop the war when he was President the first time around, that was when Russia only occupied Crimea and parts of Donbas via proxies, Trump couldn't stop the war then but I'm now expected to believe he can stop the war when Russia now occupies 15-20% of Ukraine?

I'm convinced by "peace" that Trump voters mean Americans scrubbing their hands of everything while watching the world burn which tracks with Trump voters, they don't care about anyone but themselves and who cares about the non-whites being bombed, and as for Ukraine, that's entirely on Europe, irrelevant of the security commitments America made to Ukraine in the 90s and Israel? They can slaughter whoever they want because it's Holy Land or some stupid religious nonsense. As for Trump himself, he is as much of a hawk as any other President but he tends to be sympathetic to countries like Russia and only hawkish to the countries full with non-white people, maybe he does the right thing and supports Ukraine but that definitely isn't what Trump voters have in mind, they've been all in on Trump abandoning Ukraine which they stupidly believe will lead to peace.

i hope that Trump keeps his promise to support Taiwan.  But it's like i can't trust Trump very much.  You always doubt the guy because you never know where he really stands.  

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's impossible even that Trump decides to support Ukraine if Putin hurts his ego but when Russian Media blasted Melania's nudes over State TV as a mockery against her, Trump didn't say anything in response, Lol. He's weak when it comes to Russia and he's too stupid to tackle China, the last trade war with China ended up with an American loss and them bailing out their farmers.

Trump Says Taiwan Should Pay The US For Its Defence As ‘It Doesn’t Give Us Anything’ | Taiwan | The Guardian

When he says shit like this (which btw, is horseshit) it doesn't inspire much confidence he would defend Taiwan even with how much he hates the Chinese, everything has to be a transaction to him, albeit he casually ignores Taiwan supplying most of the worlds semiconductors and spending literally billions upon billions buying American military equipment.

And what will convince China even more to have a pop at Taiwan is if America abandons Ukraine to Russia, all it will show to America's enemies is that America is both an unreliable ally and weak whose word doesn't mean shit, it will show that Trump himself is weak and USA doesn't have the stomach to defend its allies and throws bullshit excuses out like "We're not getting anything in return!" as an excuse to runaway. Want to discourage China from taking Taiwan? Put down Russia, their strongest ally and show China that America can and will defend its allies.

But I get the feeling a lot of people didn't learn about WW2 in history classes and how appeasement and rewarding invading countries doesn't discourage them from taking even more, it only emboldens them. You don't reward bullies by giving them a quarter of your shit, they'll only continue and take the rest of your shit, you put them on their ass and send a message.

Edit - Unless your name is Israel, if you're Israel then you can do whatever you want and have America defending you.
