In fact, Pence sees America waging war everywhere very soon, whether it’s “the fight on the Korean Peninsula and in the Indo-Pacific,” “the fight in Europe” or somewhere in Latin America. As for Iraq and Afghanistan, Pence is saying that there will be no end to not just American presence but American combat in those places. This is a view of the world that leads to catastrophes like the Iraq War. All around him, though, are people like Pence, who seem positively thrilled by the prospect of more wars. But as long as Republicans occupy the Oval Office, the chances of Pence’s prediction of endless war coming true are much higher.
