But I disagree that it would be coming from policies within the Republican Party. But would be more from the 'military industrial complex' that includes the CIA that would be in favor of another war like they generated in Vietnam and Iraq.

Mill, people might argue that the MIC/CIA were AMONG groups who pushed the Vietnam War, though hardly primary movers.

One could hardly argue that they pushed the Iraq War though, since that was plainly driven by a cabal within the Bush administration--which was a Republican administration.  

Trump's current NSA is John Bolton, one of the neo cons who helped engineer the Iraq war. And he is a Republican.  Trump is also a Republican. He has the overwhelming support of his party.  Doubtful that many in the MIC or the CIA cheered busting the Iran Deal.  The majority of the intel community certainly understand what just happened to US credibility and to the balance of forces in the Gulf, even if the public does not. They know it wasn't them.
