But is this Trump? I would argue that the current escalation is inherent to how policy has been conducted particularly in the recent time with Russia, alienating it instead of continuing the fruitful period which started after the fall of the Soviet Union, but more generally how humankind has (not) dealt with the nuclear arsenal.
So, tensions are bound to raise, no matter who is in the White House or in the Kremlin, simply because the arsenal is there, we have done little to get rid of it, and we have allowed the military complex to hold us hostage to a campaign of terror (I am talking about State Terror) swiping the world specially after the September 11 attacks.
And regarding Trump rhetoric: the only thing that differentiates him to other politicians is that he is able to say one thing and the opposite in the same sentence. But all politicians, continuously, say something in one moment, and the opposite in another, or say something, and do the opposite, including important issues.
So, Clinton saying "I would not use nuclear weapons, ever", is not reassuring to anybody.
