How long do you estimate the USA going to war under Trump?

Considering we are already fighting at some level in at least 3 countries, I reckon not very long.

Oh, it's a lot more than that. I think we are even in the Philipines. With any luck, we are going back to Somalia too to retrieve parts of the Black Hawk.

The only argument I can see that might succeed is one claiming a violation of equal access, which could be remedied by requiring all candidates to provide their tax return. The best part of all is the name of the proposed new law: "Tax Returns Uniformly Made Public" or TRUMP act

About as long as it takes for decent people to get sick of this kind of talk.

We won't have a war with the Philippines, Trump and Duterte are best buds;

The Philippine president called Trump on Friday evening to congratulate him on his victory and Trump wished him “success†in his controversial crackdown, in which 4,800 people have been killed since June, according to Duterte who said: “He was quite sensitive also to our worry about drugs. And he wishes me well ... in my campaign and he said that ... we are doing it as a sovereign nation, the right way,†Duterte said in a statement

Since Duterte took office he has ordered the gangland style execution of alleged drug dealers without trial and has encouraged citizens to shoot drug dealers or drug users on sight. In the first 6 months of his administration 5,900 alleged drug dealers/users have been killed. Philippines: 5,900 die in 'war on drugs' since July - CNN.com

Since we are talking about a loose cannon, hyper reactive megalomaniac who claims he is too smart to go to intelligence briefings I don't think decent people will quit talking about it any time soon

News flash, Obama has ongoing drone attacks in 6 plus countries. The Washington post had this noted in one of their articles.

When a country is bombed by a drone, it sure as hell thinks they are at war...

Please list the wars started by Obama.



Not the first time you've been wrong, I'm sure.

Our special forces are over there in joint forces with NATO. Sent by Obama to fight ISIS. They call it an "train, advise and assist" mission.

I think, Actually the Chinese might be very happy with a Trump presidency. A Chinese official was quoted that they look at Trump as business man and not a politician. They feel that the threats of trade deals can be negotiated and dealt with.

Where China would be positive on a Trump presidency is on his approach to Japan and South Korea. He would be the first president to challenge these countries on trade as well as military support.

So he would play the Taiwan, Japanese, and Korea card in order to control China. He also won't give Japan or S.Korean or Taiwan 100% unconditional support. There will be balance of power.

We all know how he feels about Russia.

So Trump is less hawkish compare to Hillary.

Going to war? We are already in a war that Obama made worse in the 8 years he was in office.
