The US it seems can't avoid wars
Coming into office and saying there will be no more for-ever wars is a perfectly respectable platform but if you are the president of the United States, avoiding wars seems to be an impossible objective. That's one of the lessons learnt by Donald Trump. Ok, the attack on Iranian nuke sites doesn't signify a for-ever war. But I doubt the attacks over last weekend will be the last. Iran will always pose a threat, nuclear or otherwise, so in some senses the confrontation between the US and Iran is for ever. Then there's the Putin issue, what might he do after Ukraine? If he marches towards a Nato country (which I doubt he'd be foolish to contemplate), then Trump could find himself involved in a much bigger war. And there's China and Taiwan. If Beijing invades Taiwan, will Trump send in the carriers? So, the lesson is, however much you want to be a peacemaker and not get the US further involved in wars of any kind, the US is and has always to be a global force because it is a military and economic superpower. So, I fear the attacks on Iran will definitely not be the last time the US has to go to war under this administration or any future administration.
