The yemenis would like a word, as would the syrians. Also John Bolton as national security advisor is not exactly a peaceful stance - to me the biggest long-term effect of the Trump presidency is we will never be trusted by a group like the Kurds in a conflict again. The US absolutely screwed them over.
Certainly agree about the neocon warmongering. I am incredibly glad that is over for the moment. There is a huge national security establishment that encourages use of force, and I'm glad that finally there's some right wing pushback for once.
I wish Obama had been a lot more pushy to finding ways to end the US involvement in the mideast.
If he is a 1-term president Trump will enter the history books as presiding over an increasingly peaceful American foreign policy as the 21st century progressed. I don't think that is on him as much as geopolitics; but if the world at large sees him as the chaotic candidate that mistake is on them. Bush's administration was a disaster of world-shattering proportions and the world should be quite happy not to see its like again for 100 years.
