one counterpoint i saw recently is that airstrikes have actually been scaled back substantially:

Actually pulling out of Afghanistan was also big, notwithstanding the aggression the U.S. has directed towards them since. We've also seen nothing as flagrant and dangerous (risk of touching off a larger conflict) as assassinating Soleimani.
yeah i dont know how much its just coincidence of conflict in Syria, Iraq, Somalia itself basically scaling down and how much the admin is actively ending airstrikes, because the difference is pretty substantial around some of these. i mean Biden's foreign policy is terrible, i dont know if worse than Trump admin though but thats a low bar though
isn’t the Biden admin ramping up operations in Africa too?
Yeah they just sent like 500 troops to Somalia.
He's the white Ronald Reagan. His legacy and that of the pork demons who voted for him will look great in a decade.
A lot of revisionist historians will claim so. It sure is convenient for modern republicans who run on white nationalism.
not signing the Iran deal because he wanted a ‘better deal’
idk if you can count that one given that Trump left the deal in the first place.
It's like blaming Biden for not removing Cuba from the sponsors of terrorism list... that the Trump admin put them on in the first place. They both suck and I'm not sure I see much of difference in the two.
There is no justice or god in this world. Knowing 1.1 million children are going to starve to death makes me so angry and completely powerless at the same time.
You just don't understand how the world works and that politics aren't fair. Btw did you change your profile to the Ukraine flag? The Russians are pure evil for bombing hospitals and stealing their grain!
"When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society [1] places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains. I have now to prove that society in England daily and hourly commits what the working-men's organs, with perfect correctness, characterise as social murder, that it has placed the workers under conditions in which they can neither retain health nor live long; that it undermines the vital force of these workers gradually, little by little, and so hurries them to the grave before their time. I have further to prove that society knows how injurious such conditions are to the health and the life of the workers, and yet does nothing to improve these conditions. That it knows the consequences of its deeds; that its act is, therefore, not mere manslaughter, but murder, I shall have proved, when I cite official documents, reports of Parliament and of the Government, in substantiation of my charge.

This shit is pure evil but it doesn't surprise me :amerikkka: does this shit all the time and it makes sense, our leaders are monsters who get off on hurting kids
:epsteingelion:
I bet starving a million children is literally getting some ghoul's dick hard
"I don't see the problem. When I was a boy in Scranton, PA - we had some neighbors really, really down on their luck. They had to mow their lawn and eat it. I had some. I had a little. It wasn't good but it kept ya goin'! I asked my pop I said 'Pop, why didntcha lend 'em some money?' He laughed and said 'Son, that ain't capitalism. How could I recoup my loan if they refused to pay it back?' My dad didn't have much book learning but he was very smart..."
Biden then talks for 3 whole minutes about a story involving his dad, ice cream, hard work, the American dream, and the movies. The members of the media look at each other perplexed trying to understand the presidential word salad. Biden finally gets to the end...
"So - the Afghan people have the tools to improve their lives. It's just the damn Taliban getting in the way," he turns and old man shuffles away his baby pink fontanel shining. He takes no questions so the media yells at the back of his head.
a year after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and occupation
No.. they were already there, they didn't take anything over, THEY WERE ALREADY FUCKING THERE!
"Joelomodor" is such a great name for this absent the reinforcement of Communism No Food brainworms
Like any good neoliberal policy, it would one day trickle down
