If you want to be as cynical as possible any evidence you may have heard about Trump having ties to the Russians is evidence he would be less likely to start a nuclear war with them or continue the proxy war against Russia in Syria.

Trump specifically campaigned on withdrawing from Afghanistan as an "un-winnable" war. Since winning the election he has unfortunately doubled-down on the violence of his predecessors.

There was a somewhat popular interview where Bill O'Reilly asked Trump about Syria, stating if Putin helps Assad fight off ISIS, then Russia/Putin will own Syria. Trump basically said America had its own problems, if we go in we'll own it, why would we want it? Of course he reversed this after election too.
