Many of us felt the same way about the last 2 Presidents.

Now that's a funny joke. Pacifist presidents don't threaten a nation with "fire and fury like they've never seen." Pacifist presidents don't drop the "Mother Of All Bombs" on Afghanistan. Pacifist presidents don't lob 100 cruise missiles at Syrian airports.

Just to remind you, the previous WH occupant got the ball rolling. A couple from his reign:

Sadly, the US under Trump has few allies left and I don't think NATO is going to back Trump.

Why does something that happened several years ago matter?

Today, the White House seems to again be looking at how to poach, rather than buy, oil from foreign countries. That did not work in Iraq, and the consequence was the emergence of ISIS. Lies about WMD and the invasion of Iraq was an enormous failure with severe longterm consequences.

Trump has apparently attempted to do the same thing regarding Venezuela. Trump is very short sighted, so there is no doubt that he has not thought through the consequences of overthrowing the Venezuelan government. He is reckless, and he is itching for a war. He doesn't care whether it is with his allies, North Korea, Venezuela or in space, but he does want to play war games.

Watch how fast Europe comes to the table when Trump says bring the soldiers home.

I'll save you the trouble of looking at the comment I quoted. It has to do with Trump wanting civil war. Obama began our culture war and identity politics. Any talk of civil war is due to BHO's incessant drum-beating.

I hear Libya is looking for one. They haven't had a good little war since Obama attacked them.
