Donald Trump and his White House team spent much of the summer practically begging the Norwegian Nobel Committee to give the president a Nobel Peace Prize, his record notwithstanding, though the public relations campaign has died down a bit of late. It’s been replaced with presidential saber-rattling at two different countries simultaneously. First up is Afghanistan, a country Trump has talked about going back into since 2022. Asked by a reporter if he’d consider deploying U.S. troops to take the base, Trump demurred. Nevertheless, if you voted for Trump because you expected restraint on foreign policy or the use of military force abroad, I continue to have bad news for you.
