    Maybe someone will find this as they try to intervene with Stephen and get him medical help and take control of his finances due to his incompetence.

    Stephen claims Trump massively inflamed existing wars with North Korea and Venezuela leading to "skyrocketing casualties".

    I wish you luck getting him the help he needs.

    And I wish you help with recognizing context in written communications. Here's the part you omitted after "Trump might not have started any
    wars, but he massively inflamed existing ones...": [Trump] ... came
    close to catastrophic new ones. Examples of that category are Venezuela

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gideon_(2020)

    And North Korea:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017–2018_North_Korea_crisis

    Look under "Rhetorical escalation in August 2017."

    You are a rhetorical casualty. Be silent or be a foolish babbling idiot. Those seem to be your only choices.

    Hed: Trump’s Foreign-Policy Adventures Haven’t All Flopped

    Subhed: For all the chaos, the Trump administration has notched some
    notable victories abroad. The question is whether they outweigh
    everything else Trump brought to Washington—and the world.

    Subscribers only but the opening text implies Trump didn't "abandon
    NATO, start a war with North Korea, or demolish the international
    trading system."

    Hold on....I'm still trying to find the casualty count in that Trump vs. N. Korea war.

    So far we only have confirmed collateral victim...a broke ex-piano Teacher in Austin.

    Where "[Trump] ... came close to catastrophic new [conflict.]"? You
    remember the famous tweet?

    https://theintercept.com/2022/05/14/twitter-elon-musk-trump-nuclear-war-north-korea/

    “North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They
    will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”

    No chance of casualties there!

    As if the decades of US policy on nuclear war involves no casualties.

    You're MAD.

    The only casualty would be a Twitter ban.

    You're MAD.

    And now, besides the usual inability to detect irony, you're arguing for
    and against the chance of casualties.

    I'll post this but it's possible your other replies will show your "disputatiousness" setting is too sensitive.
