Is Trump in particular isolationist, or is he a neoconservative, and he wants to intervene everywhere? Victor Davis Hanson says

Victor Davis Hanson : Donald Trump has both issued threats to our existential enemies abroad and that he’s called for peace as well.

Trump inherited a world that has lost U.S. deterrence after the Kabul [ Afghanistan ] fiasco, the greatest military humiliation in American history, he says.

He's a Jacksonian that is, he builds up the military to ensure that it can deter anybody, but not to use it.

Victor Davis Hanson : Use of force favors the U.S. without getting in house-to-house fighting or terrorism, tit for tat, in the streets of Baghdad type of endless engagements.

And I don’t think you’ll have to do very much of it to restore US . calm and deterrence, he says.

It will not be neoconservative interventionism, and it won't be isolationism, he adds.
