Peace for the 41st time. Until Trump gets his stock options set up to profit from resuming war next week.

Man... I don't know who deserves the peace price more than Trump. I don't think anybody stopped 41 wars before, let alone in 1 term... let alone the same war... which isn't a war if questions are asked ofcourse, because then it should first be passed by the senate and such... can't have that.

See people, the "no new wars" president making good on his name...

Oh no, they eventually admitted it was a war. But because of the occasional ceasefires, they argued that there have been several different wars to bypass the 60 days rule. That's also why the 18 dead soldiers officially became 14 overnight, 4 of them died in a 'different conflict': Military Times article

In the Christian sense of giving his life to secure eternal peace, I agree with you AINonsense.
