FIGHT TO WIN, OR NOT FIGHT: Touting the death of ISIS’s leader under his watch and the beginning of a new round of talks with the Taliban, President Trump pledged in his State of the Union address “to end America's wars in the Middle East,” and in Afghanistan “to finally end America's longest war and bring our troops back home.”

“It is also not our function to serve other nations as law enforcement agencies,” Trump said, in a speech in which he paid tribute to fallen heroes as well as the sacrifice made by the families of troops who have been repeatedly sent into combat year after year. “These are warfighters that we have, the best in the world, and they either want to fight to win or not fight at all,” Trump said.

SANCTIONS NOT BOMBS: The speech was a reflection of the Trump doctrine, in which the president believes America's economic strength is mightier than the military in confronting threats from abroad, citing his “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran.
