Donald Trump seems ready to save the world – by starting its sequel.
According to reports, his advisers are quietly shaping a “peace through power” doctrine that involves striking Iran’s nuclear sites to prevent a larger war. Because nothing says diplomacy like a preemptive explosion.
His camp calls it strategic deterrence. Critics call it election-season theatrics. Either way, it’s another episode in America’s longest-running show: Global Stability – Brought to You by Chaos.
Trump’s supporters say only he can keep Russia and China “in check.” The rest of the planet wonders if that check will bounce – again. Meanwhile, Democrats talk about “de-escalation” and “restraint,” words that sound almost obscene in the current political climate.
Perhaps this is the new normal: presidents as pyromaniacs and peace talks as marketing campaigns. The world doesn’t end anymore – it trends.
