"In a world where wars solve nothing, Trump’s brand of pressure politics may be the closest thing to modern peace.
The mass casualties and destruction inherent in traditional warfare strike a New York realestate developer as simply pointless. There are other ways to compete and to coerce counterparts into agreements. Yes, they are often blunt, inelegant, and abrasive. But they are far less traumatic for states and societies. And that alone makes them preferable – everything is relative, after all. Even the outrageously brazen operation to seize Venezuela’s president, complete with strikes on military targets, turned out to be relatively precise and only moderately bloody." RT
