The real story here isn’t asshat Trump. It’s that the US can’t keep its hands to itself, and it’s been that way for decades. Trump is just the new boss. The next one will also attack various countries.

The US has always been ruled by corporate interests. Presidents come and go, but money and the love of it will always remain.

[-] moodoovoodoo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ah 'both sides'. Yes. The quantity of countries per president doesn't matter.

Yes, it's bad that other presidents authorized attacks on other countries that they shouldn't have. But also yes, Trump is objectively the greater evil.

Not both side. One side. The US side. Versus the rest of us. I don’t give two fucks about your shit political parties. I give a fuck about how your country uses the rest of the world as its litter box.

Literally both sides. There's a reason the term "foreign policy consensus" exists. And if we're merely looking at quantity per president, Obama was a bigger warmonger than Bush.

[-] Squirrelknight@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I don't see establishment democrats doing much different when it comes to foreign policy.

Any war Trump starts, they'll perpetuate and support. They MIGHT start less of them, but they'll continue any existing ones and start a few of their own with the right incentives.

When has the US ever kept our hands to ourselves? We're clearly insane.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

It does show that Trump is the handsiest of them all though...

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

If anything, it probably highlights how weak he is in the machine.

Thank you for your comment, now that Selena Gomez song is stuck in my head.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
