Exakt så. Fake News Media försökte komma undan det faktum att Trump är en fredsskapare, men börjar de så småningom att erkänna det

AP News: Despite his tough talk, Trump is leery of foreign conflict
Citat:
A president with few ideological constants, Donald Trump has consistently been leery of getting entangled in overseas military engagements. It’s a stance shaped by his belief that wars in places like Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq have drained America’s resources at home and its reputation abroad.
Despite his tough talk about American military might, Trump has largely kept the United States out of international conflicts, a dynamic that has come into focus this week as his administration builds the case that Iran was directly responsible for a crippling attack on a Saudi oil field. Even as tensions escalate, fueled in part by Trump’s own rhetoric, the president has hesitated, harking back to his campaign pledge to avoid military conflict.
Trump told reporters in Los Angeles on Wednesday that he believed it was “a great sign of strength” that he had gone no further against Iran thus far than imposing fresh sanctions.
“How did going into Iraq work out?” the president asked, adding that wars were “very easy to start.”
As for Iran, he said, “If we have to do something, we’ll do it without hesitation.”
The Republican president’s reluctance to engage in full-on military intervention long predates the current situation in the Middle East.
Outside of ordering a pair of missile strikes in Syria, and the downing of an Iranian drone earlier this year, Trump has kept his fingers off the trigger. But he’s used his phone to unleash harsh Twitter posts, from threatening to obliterate North Korea to warning Iran in recent days that the U.S. armed forces were “locked and loaded.”
“He is the opposite of Teddy Roosevelt: He is walking loudly and carrying a twig,” said Tim O’Brien, a Trump biographer. “He wants to bluster, he wants to look tough and overcome his insecurities and he wants to occupy center stage. But he doesn’t follow up that talk with strong military action. By and large, his inclinations are more dovish than hawkish.”

The measured response by President @realDonaldTrump regarding the shooting down of an American drone was clearly seen by the Iranian regime as a sign of weakness.

Som ordspråket lyder: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Trump är därmed USA:s enda moderna president som inte saknar sunt förnuft.

Härligt! Då behöver Trump inte sätta hårt mot hårt, eftersom det säkerligen inte upprepas då säkerhetsluckan säkerligen är igentäppt!
Det förklarar iofs varför KSA:s svar har varit ganska återhållsamt. Det finns säkerligen inget att oroa sig för!
Citat:
Det är nog snarare USA som får betala.
USA är beroende av låga oljepriser eftersom det skadar USA's fiender svårt så länge oljepriserna är låga. Det skadar även USA's inhemska fracking-industri, men det är ett billigt pris att betala för förmånen att få skada fienden än mer.
Genom att pröjsa för att skydda SA, så bibehåller man de låga oljepriserna.
