His foreign policy is the same persistent train wreck as the economy. This agenda reaches back to Truman and has been faithfully followed by every holder of that office (with one sad exception). <br /><br />Trump has adopted the "Asia pivot" and is beginning to re-positioning himself on Russia and the CIA. He has apparently realized that he is a puppet and puppets are dispensable.<br /><br /><i>In President Obama’s last year in office, the United States dropped 26,171 bombs in seven countries. This estimate is undoubtedly low, considering reliable data is only available for airstrikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya, and a single “strike,” according to the Pentagon’s definition, can involve multiple bombs or munitions. In 2016, the United States dropped 3,027 more bombs—and in one more country, Libya—than in 2015.</i><br /><br />source: http://blogs.cfr.org/zenko/2017/01/05/bombs-dropped-in-2016/Noah Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012500819097539976noreply@blogger.com
