“In 2016, Donald Trump ran for president as a kinda-sorta, maybe-a-little-bit, ‘antiwar’ candidate. Once in office, however, he escalated every war he had inherited …. This year, Trump once again ran — and won — as a kinda-sorta, maybe-a-little-bit, ‘antiwar’ candidate, mainly on his claim that he could negotiate a ‘deal’ with Russian president Vladimir Putin to end the US proxy war in Ukraine. Should we have believed him this time? His prospective appointees to office are a mixed bag on the subject of foreign military entanglements, but a recent event in Congress provides strong evidence that the answer is ‘no.'” (12/12/24)
