To say this was a strong speech is an understatement. Iran were terrorist "losers." North Korea is on a suicide mission and the US has no choice but to destroy it. Our allies were scofflaw deadbeats. Only Israel was looking left and right wondering how it got off so easy.
The Trump base will be ecstatic. Lot's of peace through threats in that speech. Much equivocation too, e.g. to paraphrase "I've rewritten war strategy, no longer will war we limited by arbitrary deadlines..." Cool, Trump has codified endless war, just what his foreign entanglement hating base wants to hear.
