The world is going to get even messier in the near future as American leadership and the might of our military is left on the bench.

Trump the pacifist isn't one of the bad things about the guy. The West has been trying to tell that region what to do my whole life. Let them figure it out and find their own balance. Its likely the best long term solution.
