We've had Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria. Those have seen military action. He has threatened Iran, NK, now Venezuala. I know I'm forgetting one or two. That is an average of roughly one country per month. We need to come up with 42 more countries before his term is over. Let's help him out and make a list of countries and reasons to provoke them.
I'll go first: I suggest the Indonesian controlled Kalimantan portion of Borneo because headhunters are very unchristian and therefore antithetical to our western democracy.

(54,436 posts)Iraq was a major MIScalculation ("maybe six days, maybe six weeks, certainly not six months" ).
Republicans prefer to invade places like Panama and Grenada.
The ONLY argument about military matters I ever won with Wes Clark was on the subject of Republican military intervention. A year or two after the Iraq invasion, he was worried that Cheney would try to invade Iran as well, with the disastrous results that would have brought. I said no way. They fucked up on Iraq, but they KNOW Iran will unite in a firestorm against us, and so they would never do it.
Sure enough. Bush ranted about Axis of Evil, but Cheney never let him touch Iranian soil. Of course, there is the secondary consideration that Cheney owns a house there, and didn't want his real estate investment imperiled.
But among the countries that are likely to shoot back, I think Russia can probably be safely counted among the top ten.

If it doesn't have a leader who can be pushed out of the way at the G20, then it shouldn't exist anyway.
