Though Trump has arguably accelerated things a bit, pointless invasions and huge attacks of poorer countries are extremely normal for USA over the past few decades, this is not reducible to just Trump-thought. The difference this time is that the enemy has missiles, modern military tech, and a sizeable, well organised army.
