It is hard to know with certainty what Trump would have done and what would have happened were he still president but I agree the situation, if things continue, is bleak. We would not have progressed to this point under Trump. If things continue on this course we are going to find ourselves in a very bad situation, we should back off right now and define the boundaries of our involvement and stick to it. And I totally agree with the writer of this article, there is zero reason for the USA or for that matter NATO to get involved in this affair.
Stupid people always warn of WW3 every time a conflict breaks out in the middle east forgetting that WW1 and WW2 were mainly European wars so it seem logical to assume that WW3 will follow that legacy.
What might be called proto world wars all started in Europe going back at least to Alexander the Great's incursions throughout the world then known to Europeans.
When Saddam invaded Kuwait, I didn't see any reason for the USA to get involved in a Muslim country v Muslim country conflict. Still don't. Bush 41's popularity went through the roof during the war, but he still lost to B.J. Clinton in '92.
