There will be an armed conflict involving the U.S. overseas.

Military will be wounded. Many won't survive the flight back to "the Homeland".

And Europe will have closed their hospitals to many of them b/c the ones on military bases won't be able to handle the numbers.

Many will die.

And he apparently called off a second strike on Venezuela. And then there's Greenland which he's threatening now. Other countries, like Denmark, are readying their military. We already know that he doesn't value human lives, how many did he and Hegseth murder in those small boats near Venezuela? Sounds to me like he's on a rampage - and he wonders why he wasn't awarded a peace prize??
