I do think this is consistent with his behavior. It would be interesting to see 1) what becomes of his foreign policy and 2) how historians will view him in 100yrs. But we will not live to see that.

I will agree here. I will respond to the thoughtful posts on this thread in just a second, but the position I will take is that this is just a different strategy to the neocon philosophy.

This remains to be seen.

no American soldiers acting as an occupying force anywhere in the world right now.
We are certainly in agreement that this is a good thing. That said, we did grab Maduro and have possession of 6 tankers using our military. So the difference from my perspective is not that the philosophy has changed, but the strategy. And there is a strong argument that this is a better approach than what we have done previously.

Overall, I concur with your opinion.
I'd like to think this is true. Using Venezuela as the example, what we are doing is better than sending some mass force to establish a make-shift government, hold elections, and then somehow try to exit gracefully. That certainly did not work in Iraq.
The new Venezuelan leader is a complete unknown to me and it is still the Maduro regime. My position is that Trump still aspires to the neocon view that "gunboat diplomacy" can install western-style democracies across the globe. The principal difference is the way in which he is using the US Military.
I am sure many will argue that I am wrong, but if I am not what is the path to legitimate elections in Venezuela?
This says nothing of Iran.

Donald Trump is building a foundation for a post NATO American hegemony.
Absent bringing resources like Venezuela and Greenland to our balance sheet the dollar is going to fall and we are going to see a fiscal reset to a WEF/post nationalist and constitutional America.
Enforcing the Monroe Doctrine in preparation for post NATO. Brazil and Panama Canal were clear, strong messages to the south and Central American countries.
This is leadership, this is avoiding future wars. Get in line, or else.
Canada will be brought to bear through economic accountability. They became an assembly economy as a way for China to circumvent American regulations. As America corrects its trade imbalance with China …. it will be Canada that suffers the most. No more nafta, no more USMCA agreement…. no more protections from being a favored US dance partner ….
And don’t feel sorry for the Canadians … they did it to themselves.
But Greenland becomes extremely more strategic when Canada changes its attitude towards its biggest trading partner. Canada’s censorship efforts , their crazy Green initiatives, their covid behaviors…. all must be corrected or Canada’s economy will die a slow economic death. If they don’t come to their economic senses, they’ll become the economic pariah of the hemisphere, excepting Cuba.

Yessir we are 100% in agreement,
It’s far worse than that for them. We are going to take Alberta under our wing and their economic foundations will collapse within a decade.
I believe that if we stay the course they will come to us as a full fledged partner under a Vance administration once we fully reestablish our manufacturing base assuming tariffs remain in place.
If Trump/AF succeeds, the WEF globalist structure will collapse.
If he/AF fails it’s going to be a very dark time for America. It’ll either mean a full political split and kinetic political violence or an economic collapse and the political capitulation of the right that will amount to the end of the American republic as we know it permanently.
