Can't do a war without public support. The public continues to be highly suspicious of war.
There certainly isn't a lot of evidence that anyone is cool with going to war with Russia. You know -- the world's second biggest nuclear power.
Even when it comes to killing Muslims in the dessert there is little patience. I don't have a crystal ball when it comes to what might happen hundreds of years from now. But I doubt within Trump's tenure he will get any public support for big conflict.
His best bet is North Korea. There has always been a good case for a war with North Korea and then letting South Korea take over the rebuilding/democratizing aspect of the whole thing. But Trump is so unpopular, the public probably wouldn't even trust him with that one.
