I trust Trump about as far as I can throw him, and at the end of the day it's really the Pentagon calling the shots here not the POTUS.

But dudes clearly speaking to a public sentiment here.

    Trump was already president and his foreign policy was pretty bad. He threw Rojavah to Turkey and was trying hard to start a war with Iran, assassinated Soleimani, and people just forgot about that when the pandemic started. He tried to coup Venezuela for guaido, remember that pathetic boat thing where they all got caught immediately? Remember the Bolivian coup that Amerikkka was almost certainly involved in?

      Yeah but see that's comparatively GOOD foreign policy, just a list of failures except for assassinating that guy

        Biden also has had a ton of failures. Assassinating Soleimani easily could've started a war that would've killed hundreds of thousands, we really don't need to hand it to him.

          They were before just 5 seconds for starting it for real, then they backed off and killed Soleimani as consolation prize for all the hawks. They were sure Iran wouldn't actively plunge into war over one general after narrowly avoiding at least full scale aerial terror if not outright invasion.

      He threw Rojavah to Turkey

      To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, to be her ally is fatal

      idk that he gets credit for the attempted coup, but yeah he gets credit for backing guaido and giving him all of Venezuela's foreign assets we stole
