Mills's article is loaded with wishful thinking and intellectual dishonesty. That Mills thinks that Trump might very well harbor an inner Richard Nixon who could be unleashed by a smart appointment (someone like war crimes mass murderer Henry Kissinger) to find his way to Beirut and Tehran can one be explained by too much drinking. For the past 30 years, U.S. foreign policy has been boneheaded, militaristic, stupid, reckless, incompetent, cruel, reckless and feckless, etc. Trump is clearly the man for more of the same. It's also worth noting that Mills considers the Abraham accords to be among Trump's foreign policy successes when a very good argument can be made that the extension of the Abraham accords to Saudi Arabia precipitated the Hamas attack inside Israel.
*If* there is a plus side to a Trump presidency (note well the word "*If*"), it is that goodthinkers who held their tongue rather than criticize Biden's wars will feel no such qualms as long as Trump is in the Oval Office.
MSM propaganda mouthpieces that tiptoe around American participation in the genocide in Gaza and act like prissy old ladies who pretend not to know where babies come from will suddenly be full of righteous fury, as long as it is directed at the tribal enemy.
America's various catamites around the world may be less willing to bindly follow orders when they come from a loudmouth buffoon such as Trump. (Europeans in particular are congenitally used to serving senile monarchs and groveling before figurehead enunchs with fancy titles).
At the same time, it's not all kittens and rainbows if Trump wins. Any effort to withdraw from the war in Ukraine will be greeted with howls of "Putin puppet!", just as happened when Trump cucked out of withdrawing from Syria and Afghanistan. Hell, Trump could push The Button over Ukraine and his critics would kvetch that he only did it at Putin's orders and besides, Biden would have pushed The Button sooner and better. Trump cultists would insist that this was all part of a Master Imbecile Plan, even as we went up in a mushroom cloud.
Anyone crazy enough to predict Trump's next 4 year term as POTUS is one hell of a stretch. He may desire to mix things up-hell that's his MO-.HEe doesn't listen to otjers. He runs his on course thru history. Just maybe he'll be our 1st president in decades to consider dialogue over military blunt force...after all he does like center stage and listening to his own voice and certainly not what others have to say.

Well, yes.
