Trump track record on "finishing a war"
Trump POTUS 45 & 47
often has disparaged
"Forever Wars" --
how good is he at
Ending Forever Wars?
What kind of track record?
did he "finish" the Russian - Belarus invasion
of a democratic UKRAINE
war on his first day of his 2nd term?
No.
Did Donald John Trump finish the
Israel - Hamas War? He has invited
returned hostages who were released by
Hamas to Israel at the OVAL OFFICE . . .
Is there a complete "Council of Peace"
deal to restore the Gaza Strip?
No.
Did POTUS 47 invade the capital
of Venezuela and take back to
Manhattan Court Room the President
of that nation? Certainly no one denies
that; did he gain "control" of the flow
of oil from Venezuela's oil wells or offer
a re-start to international Petroleum Companies?
Time will tell.
Did he deserve credit for solving the India-
Pakistan stand-off?
Pakistan says "YES"
and India demurs . . .
Between Rwanda and Dem. Republic of
Congo? Dec. 4, 2025 two leaders sign
a "Cease-Fire" of sorts
Time will tell.
ARMENIA - Azerbaijan
