Trump is finally standing up to Assad after so long of the US just letting him commit atrocities against his own people, and he did it without putting American lives in danger. At some point you have to be the kid that stands up to the bully and says "enough is enough."
North Korea isn't more adamant or increasingly defiant? They're continuing to build their nuclear program and testing missiles. You can't let them gain all the power to strike and say "oh, now it's time to put our foot down." That's too late.
That's my point. Both countries are continuing to do what the have been doing. Nothing changed except Trump's 180 degree change of opinion. You've seen Trump's tweets about using force in Syria in 2013. What is different between then and now?

We have been involved in Afghanistan since 2001. We are way beyond eliminating a threat before it reaches a dangerous level. It was already dangerous. That's why they bombed the tunnels.
Quote:With China, he either evaluated it more and changed his mind (he's said that he was wrong), or he's just playing along with them because we need them in our conflict against North Korea. Either way, he's being a smart leader.
First, He said China was a currency manipulator. Last week, He said China isn't a currency manipulator. What changed?
Quote:It's not like he just promised one thing to become popular. He's doing it in the best interest of the country. Sounds like a good leader to me.
Did you ever hear Him claim He was going to quickly repeal and replace Obamacare? That was for popularity. And votes.
Quote:As far as NATO, he's realizing that NATO can help us and can help the world. He's also doing that in the best interest of the country and world. Sounds like a good leader to me.
Until last week, Trump claimed NATO was obsolete. Nothing about NATO has changed. Only Trump's opinion has changed. But, based upon what? Certainly no change in NATO.
