The article discusses a dramatic transformation in President Donald Trump's foreign policy, emphasizing a sudden embrace of military aggression against Iran, contrasting with his prior commitments to peace and non-intervention. Following a recent bombing of Iran, the piece highlights the failure to achieve peace in regions like Ukraine and Gaza, as Trump appears to align more closely with militaristic advisors over isolationists. The commentary critiques his actions as having alarming implications for international stability, occurring without congressional consent or a direct provocation from Iran, thereby implicating a broader concern about Trump's decision-making process in foreign affairs.
On Sunday, the world witnessed the birth of a new Donald Trump, a bellicose one whose actions belie the abundant promises and declarations of the Trump who had expressed rhetorical desires for peace.
The reality is that there is no peace in the places where he promised there would be peace in 24 hours: neither in Ukraine nor in Gaza.
In the struggle dividing Trumpism between isolationists and militarists, the latter have convinced the president to first use diplomacy of deception and then maximum force.
Without any direct aggression by Iran, without congressional approval, and without any explicit declaration, the strikes ordered by Trump have unsettled the international community.
