For all of you saying Trump was anti-war and didn't have any wars under his watch, take a deep breath and take a seat, we got some bad news for you. Trump massively escalated the country’s existing wars in multiple theaters, leading to skyrocketing casualties. In Afghanistan, he substantially upped the amount of airstrikes, leading to a 330 percent increase in civilian deaths. In Yemen, he escalated both U.S. counterterrorism activities and support for the devastating Saudi-led war against the Houthis. According to the United Kingdom’s Bureau of Investigative Journalism, there were 2,243 drone strikes in just the first two years of Trump’s presidency, compared with 1,878 in the entire eight years of the Obama administration. Trump also came very close to tweeting the country into a nuclear war with North Korea in late 2017 and early 2018, a completely self-inflicted incident that seems to have been bizarrely memory-holed. Trump “didn’t merely threaten to attack North Korea if it possessed the ability to strike the U.S.,” wrote the Intercept’s Jon Schwarz. “He ordered the Pentagon to develop new plans, over the resistance of then-Secretary of Defense James Mattis, to do so.” According to former Pentagon official and Asia security expert Van Jackson, who wrote a book about the crisis, “The world was closer … to nuclear war, at that time than any time, since the Cuban Missile Crisis. And it was totally avoidable.” Trump put the U.S. on a path to “great-power competition” with China, incited a failed coup in Venezuela, and increased support for reckless, repressive clients around the world. Indeed, Trump was seen as such a dangerous interventionist that Congress passed the first war powers resolution in history to try to end his support for the Yemen war. Less than a year later, Congress passed a second resolution to brush him back from a potential war with Iran after he OK’d the assassination of Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander Qassem Soleimani. Both measures passed with Republican support, making opposition to Trump’s militarism one of the very few areas of bipartisan agreement during his administration.
@YourAnonNews Take a deep breath and say it with me….”no new wars”
@YourAnonNews But what’s the solution to Biden then because what he is doing is just indefensible
Interesting, isn't it, how convincing people here that he was a loose cannon and ready and willing to throw down ended up convincing people everywhere else of the same thing, which resulted in less of our blood and treasure being expended. You'd almost think he expected and planned on a bunch of frightened traitors in our midst scurrying off and reporting back to their real masters that he was an unpredictable madman and it was best to stand down and wait for a more biddable, predictable guy to replace Trump.
@YourAnonNews The only president under whose watch no wars started, yet their own people raided the Capitol.
@YourAnonNews Lol.... Still no new wars. Glad I didn't hold my breath
@YourAnonNews You’re just a salty Loser behind a keyboard You’re nothing like the ANONYMOUS we all knew no one is scared of you, no one respects you anymore, you’ve lost it all.
@YourAnonNews Anonymous is nothing more than establishment controlled opposition. They tout “the message” and uphold every false narrative constantly thrown upon the people. Maybe at one point it was a true uprising movement, but as of now, they’re played out and paid out by deep state losers.
Despite all of that, he was still 1/10th the war monger of any president in the last 50 years. It's all RELATIVE. It's like saying "the deserts has recieved 100 billion gallons of rain". Everything sounds big in the aggregate. But everything is RELATIVE. Biden has us on the brink of total annihilation and has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. Obama bombed several countries into dust. It's RELATIVE.
