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
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
Stop being an apologist for Trump. Just because Obama was an imperialist, it does not mean that Trump wasn't. Killing tens of thousands of civilians in just 4 years with coup attempt in Venezuela, supporting the coup in Bolivia, to bombing a top Iranian official, etc. It all makes him an imperialist. I'm also not sure where you're getting the 10% number or how your tallying civilians killed under Obama. But bringing up Obama is a complete non sequitur on your assertion that Trump is in some ways not an imperialist
his death count is lower than his predecessor and he's pulled troops out consistently. the definition of expanding upon imperialism would be literally doing the direct opposite of what he did.

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.

Also what hundreds of thousands does under Obama?
