Trump will probably surrender in Ukraine, as Trump is a coward and his supporters are weaklings and cowards. But that doesn’t mean Ukraine will surrender.

Any 18-year-old who is being shouted off the bus by a DI at San Diego's Receiving Company already has more military experience than over a century's worth of Trumps combined.

He will make the US the envy of the world once again. God bless Trump and Elon.

Idk about that but they can't do worse than Biden.

Last time he was in power it certainly was more peaceful. Will it this time? Depends how eager and how much money the Military Industry Complex wants to make.

That myth still going?

https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2021/01/20/trump-the-anti-war-president-was-always-a-myth/

But with four years of accumulated evidence all pointing in the same direction, it’s time to kill this myth once and for all. Sure, Donald Trump didn’t launch a new all-out ground invasion on the scale of Iraq. But he did escalate conflict in every theatre of war he inherited, repeatedly brought the country to the brink of new wars, and recklessly threw around U.S. power with no regard for the many lives it would cost. The “anti-war” candidate, like those before him, was a pro-war president.

Escalating Inherited Wars — Despite repeated PR stunts, Trump did not “bring the troops home” or “end endless wars.” In fact, Trump consistently added fuel to the fire, increasing troop levels, deepening reliance on private contractors, and dramatically scaling up aerial warfare. Where an end to endless war requires repealing the 2001 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force, Trump expanded conflicts under both. His term saw four consecutive years of growth of an already out-of-control Pentagon budget. And loosening even the minimal restrictions that were already in place, he expanded the United States’ deadly and unaccountable drone wars.

Not only did Trump not end the wars he promised to, he worsened them, dropping more bombs, stoking further conflict, undermining the prospects of peace, and massively increasing the rate of civilian deaths.

...



Plus he escalated the road to Oct 7 with the Abraham accords and moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. Both reasons cited by Hamas to go forward with Oct 7.

This time he has a much worse situation in the ME to pour more gas on the fires. And already has nominated candidates that don't perceive Muslims or Palestinians as people.


Not even 'at home' did he make it more peaceful

The War at Home — Communities of color have suffered under the thumb of police violence and “security” surveillance since well before Trump. But Trump took these wars even further, escalating Islamophobia, terrorizing migrants and asylum-seekers at the Southern border, violently repressing racial justice protesters, and so much more.
