America…well, not first. Somewhere in the back

Don’t worry, this will hurt you more than it hurts him:

Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

Trump promised to end wars, not start them. Instead, he has deployed military force in increasingly dizzying ways. No other modern American leader has directed assaults in as many countries in such a short span of time. Since returning to office, Trump has authorized attacks in eight nations, three of which have never before been directly targeted by U.S. forces. In 2025 alone, he approved more individual airstrikes than his predecessor did over four years.

I guess! Frankly, I am beginning to question the wisdom and judgment of everyone who convinced themselves that Trump was the peace candidate.
