You Republicans would love for him to have made a move that you could have arm chair qbed. God bless Obama and bill Clinton for not being "brave' like bush was. How many soldiers regret Bush's braveness?
We're you a trump supporter or Republican last year? If you were a trump supporter not a Republican, be prepared to be disapponted
I've vote half sometimes 3rd party and the other half gop.
Good rant. I hope you are right.
Let's take Trump at his word and believe him that he doesn't believe in using military might unless absolutely necessary, his outspoken anger at Bushes war in Iraq provides some evidence of this opinion. His choices of cabinet, being generals and military underline this point also. Who knows better about the horror of war than career soldiers? They will be advising him lets not forget.
Also, let's not forget that Trump is not a hardcore Conservative. Think back to the primaries, the first debate, there was Trump talking about how bad the Iraq war had been for America and the world, how he was upset at NAFTA and various other ideas that NO Conservative would have spoken out other than maybe Rand Paul who was against the Iraq war and was an isolationist. None of the candidates would have ever have confronted NAFTA, he did, because he's not ideologically rigid. It was the largest point of contention I had with him as I consider myself laissez-faire, but he was making some strong arguments. I can't be stubborn when facts are presented, it reflects poorly on me if I become a cheerleader so I at least was willing to listen to him as he spoke a different language to me than any other Republican/Conservative had.
He is following Reagans lead; the president I think he most admires and wants to emulate. Peace through strength. I am more Libertarian and I didn't like him at first, but as he went along, chose a top notch VP in Pence, spoke about the constitution and strong rights of citizens, tossing aside PC culture with disgust, spoke about taking on China and other abusers, I said to myself, "holy cow, this guy just might have an angle here". Then good economically sound conservatives like Carson supported him, guys who were around him alot and saw him as a good man. Well. I think we have to give him a chance.
Let me turn it around for you. Do you think China wants a war with America? Do you have a clear understanding of just how far Americas reach is, WELL beyond just military might. In a minutes notice, America can have dozens of the most powerful militarys in the world onside for an offensive against a common enemy, China can rely on who as an ally? North Korea? I don't think even Russia trusts China anymore since their South Sea excursion.
Anyways the bottom line, Trump is a businessman. He knows that Chinas primary strength is its economy, America needs to tame this. No shots will be fired. If China keeps conducting such stunts as they did with stealing a probe, well, the world will respond, not just America. The world will win because as one famous man once said "they love their children too". War is the absolute last option, probably a few less appealing option for Trump than many of his predecessors.
Sorry for the rant, I type very fast and just came in from shovelling the snow
Just remember like the Iraq war, you voted for this mess. It's going to be interesting. My turn to armchair qb. Obama never got 9-11ed. Bush did. Will trump? Yup. And gas prices will go up to $4 a gallon. That's how trump will help the energy companies watch. And the defense contractors. The debt will double in just over 4 years and the middle class wages will not go up more than they did this year thanks Obama.
You watch, only they'll blame the Iran war for the high gas prices just like bush used the Iran war. And the American people got none of Iraq's oil the oil companies got it. Chaney said Iraq oil would pay but we paid. Member???

Who will back China? The middle east, cuba, turkey and who knows? Arent we already spread thin? I think you overestimate us and underestimate them. And i think we just put a hot head in charge.Who would have thought Japan and Italy would join forces with Germany?
After we lied other countries into iraq, who will back us? Who will be our coalition on the willing. Lots of people warned trump didn't have the temperament. Not just us liberal. Lot different getting in a fight with Rosie o and china.
