I was not too concerned about him actually starting some new military action until Bolton came on board. Now I have no idea what they are going to do.
Since Fox News loves tough talk and big military spending I am guessing we will end up taking some military action to attempt regime change.
I think military action is much more likely in Venezuela than Iran. I think Trump is putting the screws to Iran at the behest of the Israelis and the Sauds. He's also destroying what many considered Obama's greatest accomplishment. For Trump this is win/win. That said, I think Trump would be fine with Iran continuing to waste away under sanctions. Now, this could all go out the window if some idiot, on either side, makes a huge error and starts a firefight.
