The something new being stopping the forever wars.
Trump is literally threatening wars all over the planet right now. Are you really that ignorant about what is going on in your own country? What your own president is saying literally on a daily basis?
Have you seen the actual results? Very peaceful world in his first term.
We are less than a month after inauguration, he has already made good progress to try to end 2 wars that started when Biden was at the White House.
He was bombing Somalia two weeks ago: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdrye506z1go
He has threatened to go to war with Panama, Greenland and fucking Canada.
Either you're ignorant of what Trump is doing or you're just lying. Neither is a good look.
Do you even know forever war means?
I know that Biden didn't start any wars and also that even if he did, they weren't in Somalia. Or Panama. Or Greenland. Or Canada.
You're really not good at being deceptive, so maybe you should stop trying.
Trump did not start wars against Panama, Greenland, or Canada. You don't get the facts right at all.
Under Biden, the world is a mess. Multiple big wars started under his watch.
I said he is threatening to start them. Read before you respond.
Also, the president, despite what you and Trump think, is not the emperor of the world and cannot stop other countries from starting wars. Trump won't be able to either if that's what some other country decides to do. He doesn't have magic powers like you seem to think he does.
We were talking about forever wars. LOL
Which wars in specific were the "forever wars" that Biden started that Trump then stopped? Which countries did Biden invade with the military he controls? Name them.
The wars that Trump is working to end, and on which he has made significant progress within less than one month of his inauguration, are the Israel-Hamas war and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Neither of those were started by Biden. Why did you say they were?
Also, what progress? Russia just drone bombed the Chernobyl concrete dome.
Started under Biden's watch.
It’s quite a denial to claim that Trump didn’t make significant progress in stopping that war.
Okay the Trump is responsible for all of these wars and military conflicts since they happened under his watch:

I believe you described all of that as "very peaceful" earlier.
Looking forward to the explanation for how ISIS in Iraq isn't Trump's fault even though somehow it's Biden's fault that Russia invaded Ukraine.
Seems like you have problems figuring out that wars are at different scales. The Israel-hamas war and Russia-Ukraine wars are large scale wars. Not all wars are the same. Just common sense really.
You have not explained why none of those are Trump's fault and yet the wars you are talking about are Biden's fault. Please explain.
No need to explain. The vast majority of people would agree the world is much more peaceful under Trump's first term than under Biden's administration.
