campaigns has been to bring our troops home from where we are/have been in foreign wars. One thing I don't understand about Trump (one of about a 1000) is that Trump has fired or forced people who some of them were good people (relatively) but he won't fire the war monger Bolton. Bolton's world view and foreign policy agenda are 180 degrees from Trumps.

Trump is probably being counseled that a "little war" will be a distraction from all the problems Trump is facing from all the investigations going on. Problem is that the US has not been in a "little war" since it invaded Granada in 1983.

Bolton will get the US in a war and it won't be a "little war".
