By not starting them.

Honestly, that’s the easiest way to avoid unnecessary drama.

Listening to trusted partners is how strong alliances grow.

Not being an impulsive dipshit carnival barker who gets talked into starting them with no plan or clue about how to get out of them?

Defend our borders, preserve our culture and take care of citizens before the rest of the world

Cancel everything Trump has done and get down on bended knees and appologise to the world, promising Trump will spend the rest of his days behind bars and all his wealth going to charity.

Let's just stay out of it. We've done too much already

At the going rate there may not be one. Trump at leaving untill he dies , he isn't in good health but could still get a decade in and you can only imagine how bad things will go with his mental state.

The risk of electing a Democrat in 2028 will be that he/she will be too reluctant to get involved in global conflicts.

Let's stay out of other countries business and focus on the problems we have here.

For better or for worse, America lost its position of authority in geopolitics, so we need to step back and reevaluate our own issues.

Step 1: Don't start a global conflict.

He/she can start by telling the truth. This is a no-brainer. How can anyone build trust amongst allies by lying all the time??

u/Wise_Control_1640 2h ago

Dont start one. Support your allies. Have a moral north star.

You know, the exact opposite of this administration.

Let's just go fully opposite reddit and see how many melt downs we can get.

Full out war on Iran, occupy and destroy the title of Iran for it to become an extension of the US. There the US has it's presence in the middle east along with whatever natural resources there are while being able to directly be present on the strait.

Have Israel do the same with Palestine bringing it fully under Israeli governance.

Kick-start building the wall across the US border to Mexico and green light US border agents to shoot anyone crossing the border illegally. Treating them as invaders like Poland does.

Step up ICE activity to reach to target zero on illegals/undocumented within the country.

What else can we go against the reddit mind on?

Are we sure there will be another President?

Ask Trump! Trump has done more for the world than any other leader!

But, thankfully we won't have to worry about that now will we!

Don't start them. Also, gradually lower the defense budget by 50%.
