John Bolton was one of the dumbest people in government that I’ve had the “pleasure” to work with. A sullen, dull and quiet guy, he added nothing to National Security except, “Gee, let’s go to war.” Also, illegally released much Classified Information. A real dope!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 15, 2020
yeah completely fucked, no argument here, but that shit was fourth branch guided without a doubt in my mind and trump only ever expressed desire to end military expansion.
Trump talks from both sides of his mouth. He's also dropped the "mother of all bombs", threatened to go after terrorists families, okay'ed the Venezuela coup attempt, regardless of it being driven by the hard neocons like Bolton. He will simultaneously say he'll end military expansion, while still engaging in it, such as the bombings in Yemen
dude the numbers don't lie, thousands less civilians died under trump than obama. like many, many thousands.
trump is a piece of shit, no doubt, but a war monger he is not. he actively opposed it. the articles on the subject are begging to label him a "war president", but the defense department annually releases civilian casualties and trump's max count is about 13,000 after four years. one is too many, but 13,000 is less than the hundreds of thousands that die under previous administrations every time.
My article is countering your assertion that acthually he's not an imperialist. Bringing up Obama is pointless since he was also an imperialist.
From the article:
As soon as Trump came into office, civilian deaths in the conflict soared. Under his presidency, the U.S.-led coalition air and artillery campaign in Iraq and Syria against the terrorist group killed up to 13,000 civilians
but the defense department annually releases civilian casualties and trump’s max count is about 13,000 after four years. one is too many, but 13,000 is less than the hundreds of thousands that die under previous administrations every time.
that was his whole presidency.
we're comparing this to the hundreds of thousands of lives lost in previous administrations
edit: to simplify, when your kill count is only at 10% of the previous guys, the military industrial complex isn't going to get behind you as their guy.
No you're comparing this. I'm saying he's an imperialist like the rest of them. Also my article debunks that 13,000 number since it states 13k civilians died from US campaign in Syria and Iraq alone under Trump. It doesn't even include the civilians that died in Yemen.
And his whole presidency was just 1 term, what are you talking about

There seemed to be some kind of lowkey deal with Lindsey Graham. Fat lot of good that helped.

Who the fuck mentioned Obama? Your suggesting Trump is against war which is as dumb as chuds thinking he's anti establishment
https://theintercept.com/2020/10/29/trump-yemen-war-civilian-deaths/
i fucking mentioned obama. read your own fucking article, it's the direct article i sourced my information from. he is indeed against war. "According to estimates provided by the report, at least 86 civilians were killed in airstrikes and raids carried out in Yemen on Trump’s watch. "86 is fucked, but pretending that he's anywhere near the monster obama was when it came to civilian casualties is fucking stupid.

Don't forget this was just one term

Also what hundreds of thousands does under Obama?
