“This article is talking about much larger wars than against Al-Qaeda or ISIS. A war with Russia, or China, or North Korea or Iran”
Oh REAL wars! It’s ridiculous to think that Trump is going to want to fight Russia or China. Definitely less of a concern than if Clinton had won.

Agreed. . . but what if what he doesn’t want happens anyway? Bush didn’t want 911. It happened anyway. I really hope Iran, North Korea, Russia and China all decide that now is not the time to all go for it (whatever that might respectively be for each one of those powers) because we couldn’t win against all four and probably not against even two of them (i.e. China and Russia) without enormous cost to us in men and materials. If China makes grabs in the South Pacific, what can we do about it? If Russia decides to gobble up Ukraine or the Baltic States, what can we do about it?
