From Venezuela to Iran, Trump's National Security Advisor John Bolton is pushing an aggressive foreign policy that someday may lead us to an Iraq like war. As a candidate, Trump criticized such foreign entanglements. As President, he seems to be tolerating policies that could lead to further US troop deployments.
In the latest, Bolton reportedly ordered the Pentagon to draw US military plans in the event "Iran attacks American forces or accelerate work on nuclear weapons." The NYT's reports:
"At a meeting of President Trump’s top national security aides last Thursday, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan presented an updated military plan that envisions sending as many as 120,000 troops to the Middle East."
