It's better that some countries fear us than throw poo our way. Regarding syria, Obama drew a red line in the sand and Assad kicked sand in his face. He caved. This opened the door for Russia to support the rebels 'who we armed', even though we didn't know who the hell they were.

Assad tried the same tactic with Trump. He and the Soviets wanted to test him. Well, after Assad gassed them again, Trump said something should be done, then he blew the crap out of their airfield.

Trump's tough talk about NK has led to further sanctions. China quit lending them money. China cut imports from NK. And now, SK is crediting Trump with talks talks about Korean unification.
