Trump voters thought they were voting for peace. But circumstances are conspiring to make Trump the worst kind of war president: a loser.

From a national leader’s perspective, there’s nothing like losing a cataclysmically destructive war to make people hate you and revile your memory. Just ask Hitler. (If he’d avoided that war, or better yet won, he’d be remembered as a hero.)

Trump is lucky that most Americans haven’t read Ron Unz’s free ebook Our COVID Catastrophe. If they had, they would know that the first Trump Administration created the COVID crisis by launching an ill-advised bio-attack on China and Iran.

The US bioattack on Wuhan and Qom didn’t explode into World War III, thanks to Chinese and Iranian restraint. But even while the Trump Administration was sending biowar operatives to the Wuhan Military Games in October 2019 to spray COVID all over the wet market, it was arming Ukraine to the teeth and pointing those weapons at Moscow. When Russia inevitably responded in 2022, it wasn’t just Biden’s fault, but Trump’s as well.

And let’s not forget that in early January 2020, just as the US-weaponized COVID virus was picking up steam in Wuhan, Trump ordered the murder of Iran’s greatest-ever military hero and would-have-been next president, Gen. Qasem Soleimani. Iranian retaliation injured dozens of Americans, and may have caused deaths, though that’s still classified. Trump backed down, angry that advocates of the killing had insisted that Iran wouldn’t retaliate, and even angrier that Netanyahu, who had promised to take responsibility, reneged.

The moral of all of this is that Trump, who would prefer to be a peace-and-prosperity president, has been nudged by circumstance and bad advice toward becoming the next Hitler. By that I don’t mean he’s a bad guy—I don’t think Hitler was an especially bad guy either—but rather that Trump, like Hitler, is setting himself up to lose a hugely destructive war and be reviled in the history books. And unlike Hitler, Trump may one day be prosecuted for a real, fully-documented genocide: the obliteration of Gaza.

Today’s Trump Administration 2.0 is desperately trying to repair relations with Russia so it can instead fight Iran (on behalf of Israel) and China (on behalf of US global supremacy). At first glance that may seem reasonable. After all, if you’ve driven your three biggest opponents together due to your unrelenting hostility to all three of them at once, being nice to one of them might conceivably make it easier to fight the other two.

But in this case, that superficial analysis is wrong. Russia knows full well that the US is a decaying, increasingly decrepit empire that is non-agreement-capable and totally predatory in outlook, whereas China has become the world trade and manufacturing hub with a win-win orientation to its partners. So anything Putin says to mollify Trump and get what Russia wants in Ukraine should be taken with a grain of salt.

But Trump’s real problem is not that Russia will at best only pretend to be America’s friend vis-a-vis China and Iran. It’s that those wars are unwinnable. Today, China and Iran have the power to deter all-out war, and to inflict unacceptable damage if war comes. Any way you slice
