U.S. President Donald Trump earned plaudits from war-weary Americans when he promised during his first campaign to stop dragging the country into conflicts overseas he framed as a waste of money and personnel.
But his latest foray into hotspots on other continents, including launching strikes in Africa on Christmas Day, has some supporters questioning whether he really meant it when he said he’s “not going to start wars.”
In his second inaugural address in January, Trump said his presidency’s success would be measured “not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”
If he didn’t the CBC would be blaming Trump for humanitarian inaction.
