Nearly all of those instances occurred in the first 16 months of his second term, though some span both terms.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            He\u2019s launched strikes in seven countries so far this term \u2014 Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen \u2014 after also attacking some of those countries in his first term. That doesn\u2019t even count the strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, which have targeted nearly 60 vessels and killed more than 190 people.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            He has also threatened or left open the possibility of strikes against seven others this term: Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Greenland (which is part of Denmark), Mexico, Panama and now Oman. He also threatened Mexico and North Korea in his first term.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Not all of those threats and strikes are the same. Some, like the strikes in Iraq, were narrowly targeted at terrorists rather than the government in power. And some of the threats were less direct \u2014 in many cases, Trump just declined to rule out the possibility.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=855\">Breaking down Democrats\u2019 chances to beat Ken Paxton in Texas<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Some of this may be explained by Trump\u2019s embrace of the \u201cmadman theory\u201d when it comes to foreign policy. In other words, he likes to portray himself as unpredictable, believing it makes foreign adversaries more likely to kowtow to his demands.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But all of it betrays a remarkably bellicose attitude from a president who has already invaded two countries this year (Iran and Venezuela) and appears to be considering a third (Cuba).\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And the data point to just how militant Trump has been. Here are some stats.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        1 out of 13 countries<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            That\u2019s how many Trump has threatened or attacked so far: 15 out of the nearly 200 countries in the world.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        1 out of 11 people<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Those countries account for 1 out of every 11 people in the world. That means 1 out of every 11 people on the planet has been at least somewhat worried that Trump could initiate a military strike on their country.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        5 countries in the Middle East<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Trump has now threatened or targeted five countries in the Middle East alone. That\u2019s five out of fewer than 20 total countries in the Middle East.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        4 continents<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s threats and strikes have included countries on four of the world\u2019s six populous continents: Africa, Asia, North America and South America. He\u2019s also technically threatened a European country in Denmark, albeit by talking about seizing its territory in North America.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        5 potential targets for imperialism<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Of the 15 countries he\u2019s struck or threatened, he\u2019s identified five of them as possible additions to the United States: Canada, Cuba, Greenland, Panama (specifically, the Panama Canal) and Venezuela.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=851\">Republicans scrub anti-Paxton attacks from the internet after he becomes their nominee<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump gleefully painted his opponents as trigger-happy interventionists who would get the United States bogged down in all manner of foreign wars \u2014 up to and including World War III.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":858,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
