«Donald Trump campaigned on the idea that electing him was the best way to avoid wars. He has referred to himself as the “peace president,” going so far as to complain that he hadn’t won a Nobel Peace Prize.
Yet Trump has governed as a hawkish interventionist whose approach better aligns with his neoconservative secretary of state, Marco Rubio, than with the anti-interventionists in his administration, such as J. D. Vance and Tulsi Gabbard. The United States is now enmeshed in so many conflicts that its foreign policy is closer to “world police” than “America First.”
The newly launched war against Iran is the most significant. Operation Epic Fury begins less than a year after the United States and Israel partnered to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. At the time, Trump declared that operation a success, and Vance defended it by stating, “I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements … But the difference is that back then, we had dumb presidents and now we have a president who actually knows how to accomplish America’s national-security objectives. So this is not gonna be some long, drawn-out thing.” (...)
All alone, this war would make a mockery of MAGA claims that Trump is an anti-interventionist. But it is one in an extensive list of Trump-era entanglements.»

Sim, desta vez tenho que dar razão ao (Im)Pertinente. O ataque ao Irão é uma traição às promessas eleitorais de Donald Trump, concorde-se ou não que o regime dos aiatolas tinha ido longe demais.
No entanto, volto a sublinhar: as duas razões principais pela quais os norte-americanos elegeram Trump foram a questão da imigração e o facto de a alternativa ser uma neomarxista wokista (passe a redundância) com QI de ameba. Se o mandato do Bidé não tivesse sido uma calamidade nestes dois aspectos, Trump provavelmente não teria vencido.
