#FakeNews Media Big Lies: Trump foreign policy edition

Once Trump won the Republican nomination the #FakeNews Media(FNM) began declaring that he was mentally unfit to conduct foreign policy; that he'd get us embroiled in wars and start using nuclear weapons.

Yet as of now Trump has avoided getting us in wars, unlike both Obama and Bush, and the only one talking about the use of nuclear weapons is Democrat Swalwell from California--though admittedly he was advocating their use against Americans not foreigners so it's technically not a foreign policy position.

What's truly amazing is how the same FNM is attacking Trump for trying to avoid conflicts.

Take Russia for example. Trump has been far harsher on Russia than Obama, remember the infamous "reset"?, providing weapons to Ukraine--something Obama wouldn't do-- and getting Merkel to avoid making Germany even more dependent on Russia while getting NATO to increase their defense spending--something the Russians really hate.  But Trump has also been holding out an olive branch to Putin et al to try and avoid a repeat of the Cold War and in recognition of the fact that the Russians have enough nuclear weapons to seriously damage if not destroy America.

Yet Trump's balanced diplomacy is condemned by the same people who applauded when Obama said that Russia wasn't a threat to the US anymore.

Similarly Trump has made more progress with North Korea--return of US war dead, dramatically improved relations between North and South Korea, first steps towards denuclearization-- than Clinton, Bush, or Obama and he's done so without giving NK huge bribes--remember Clinton gave them a nuclear reactor.

Finally when Syria used chemical weapons against civilians Trump made them pay without ensnaring the US in a major conflict unlike Obama who made a threat and then destroyed US credibility by not following through.

Any unbiased observer would conclude that Trump's foreign policy has been measured and responsible even if they didn't agree with all of his choices.  There has been nothing like the cowboy foreign policy we saw under Obama when we overthrew the government of Libya and then left the country to turn into a terrorist breeding ground.

Yet the FNM continues to spread the Big Lie that Trump is mentally unstable and unfit to conduct foreign policy.
