Is Trump proposing a ground war? No.

What you folks NEVER seem to grasp, is that there will be a hegemon nation on planet earth.

It will be us or someone else.

That means that we will steer the course for the planet, or another nation will.

One of the undeniable forces of nature, is that here on Earth a vacuum will be filled.

I don’t want Russia or China to be devising and implementing their global wet dream, at our expense.

If they were given the green light on that, the expenses we incur today would be peanuts compared to the fix we’d have to institute later, if would even be possible to fix no matter what we spent.

Guess who would have to pay that bill, and suffer the consequences of global non-engagement for a few decades.

Are you ignorant of the fact we've increased troop counts in Syria and Iraq this year? I don't care what he 'proposes', because he says whatever sounds nice at whatever time he likes. I pay attention to what he does, and he's dragging us into more "stupid wars" that at one point he realized we're of no net benefit to the U.S.

Russia has an economy the size of Italy, and your quaking about their global domination schemes? Please how explain how you fear China's global ambitions will cost the U.S. Taxpayer more than half a trillion dollars a year?

Your way of doing things has us at constant war, with $20 trillion in debt to show for it. Better to end it by our choice and not simply because we can't afford to do it anymore.
