So a man trying to bring peace
Bring peace is what Donald Trump says, bring war is what he does. Jesus taught that a person’s true character and spiritual state are revealed by their actions, not their words. "By their deeds you will know them. Does a man gather grapes from thorns or figs from briars?" - Matthew 7:16, NMV
Trump did not initiate a new, full-scale declared war during his first presidency. However, his second term is very different, and we're only half way through. Trump has directly initiated or materially escalated at least three major kinetic campaigns:
- Iran: Coordinated U.S.–Israeli strikes beginning in late February 2026, evolving into operations dubbed "Epic Fury" and "Roaring Lion"
- Venezuela: A January 2026 operation involving strikes on Caracas and the reported removal of President Nicolás Maduro
- Syria/Iraq: An intensified counter-ISIS campaign including "Hawkeye Strike" and other large-scale strikes following U.S. casualties
Additionally, Trump has been tied to nearly a dozen distinct U.S. military operations, including strikes in Somalia, Nigeria, and maritime interdiction campaigns in the Caribbean and Pacific.
From the start of his first term to now, Donald Trump has authorized military strikes in 10 countries, more than any other US president.
