To each American ad­ministration, its war.

For Truman and Eisen­hower, Korea.

For Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, Vietnam.

For Carter and Reagan, the culmination of the Cold War. For both Bushes, Iraq. For Clinton, ex-Yugoslavia.

For Obama, Afghanistan.

Which will be Donald Trump’s war?

There is good reason to fear it could be the Second Korean War. Or it could be yet another quagmire in the Middle East. His most excitable critics warn that the Third World War will happen on his watch. But I am more worried about the First Cyber War —because that war has already begun.
