The only thing on my profile page right now:

I voted for Donald Trump because I was tired of Ivy League globalist pr!cks running this nation's foreign policy. Anyone who still thinks the invasion of Iraq was a good idea shouldn't even be allowed to clean the toilets in the White House.

If there is any war of any kind it will not include troops being at the mercy of IEDs or holding territory. Their job will be to keep international commerce flowing safely through the straits of Hormuz. That means breaking things the Iranians can use to threaten that commerce. If the Iranians react badly to that by firing missiles at other countries, it means using air power and our own capabilities to break the things they use to do that (a much more destructive...and dramatic...outcome).

Donald Trump will not engage in regime change, or invasions, or nation building. Those things don’t work and are in fact destructive not constructive. What is happening now is preparation for the possibility that Iran will attempt to disrupt international commerce in a very big way, and the further possibility that it may attempt - as its regional power diminishes from its losses in Syria and Iraq - to create a larger conflagration by attacking Gulf States, Saudi Arabia or even Israel. Trump is not going to pull a Bush or a Clinton.
