“Under Trump there were no wars”

No new wars.

Russia-Ukraine isn't a new war. It was going for all four years of Trump's last presidency, with Russian soldiers occupying Ukraine and soldiers on both sides killing each other.

If you want to count it all as one war, then it still began during Obama and wasn't a "new war" under Trump.

Right, I'm just saying it wasn't a new war started under Biden. I don't think Trump really had a chance at ending it.

It would still mean when Trump isn't in office, Putin invades and takes more land and when Trump is in office, he doesn't.

That’s almost like saying Korea was going on during Trump’s presidency. It was frozen with some skirmishing along the border.

It was definitely hotter than Korea (which is mainly just a war on paper at this point) but you're right, it was mostly frozen. I'm just saying it can't be characterized as having started in 2022.
