    Bolton aside, Trump hasn't started any new wars (yet). He's come close, and he's escalated wars begun by his predecessors, but he hasn't started any new ones. That's a low bar, but still notable because the same cannot be said for most recent presidents

        His foreign policy has been a mess numerous other respects, and we're in a sad state when "credit" must be allocated to a president for doing the bare minimum of not starting new wars. But again, still notable -- whether you want to acknowledge it or not

        By this point in his presidency Obama had already started the Libya war and surged massively in Afghanistan, both of which were disasters. He later started the Syria regime change op, the Yemen catastrophe, and Iraq War 3.0 (which, by the way, is still illegal)

        None of this excuses other aspects of Trump's foreign policy which have been bad (going to the brink of war with Iran this summer was absurd) but it's still a historically notable point of reference

        And I think it’s fair to say had Hillary been in Whitehouse at a minimum we would be openly engaged in Syria and most likely have attacked Iran, though who knows if it would have been a full out war.

        We don’t know this for sure, because we don’t know the extent of the “gloves off” license he’s given to the covert parts of the military. New wars? Extensions of old wars? Much is hidden.

        there isn't a shred of difference between obomber and trump other than style, which i guess is all that matters to those inclined to vote for one corrupt party or another - they're all bought and blackmailed to do the bidding of the oligarchs, hence absolute fealty to israel.

        Yes! Up to now, this has been his top achievement: bullying the World, without starting a war. Bravo. And in the process, showing that Established Democrats are the evil warmongers.

        Definitely believe he leans more towards stay out of other countries affairs but then hires policy position makers around him that are neocons with cold war mentality like Bolton was and Pompeo. 100% believe that the reason we are not all in Venezuela is due to Trump's pushback.

        He will in a second term though. If he's not a neocon then the other neocons around him will pressure him to. Bolton was only part of the problem. Elliot Abrams and Mike Pompeo are still there.
