Reminder that Trump was a hard-line interventionist who literally bombed civilians his first day in office and carried out more drone strikes than every president before him put together. The guy hired John Fucking Bolton to run national security. His white house was filled with Bush-era neocon monsters. The fact that he occasionally said "no more war" in a speech doesn't mean fuck all.

Shit on Biden all you want because he's a piece of shit, but don't cape for fascists in the process.

    Yeah I’m on team Wait And See.

    So far Biden’s made positive moves on Yemen, so that’s nice.

    Not holding my breath on Iran or China.

        There is what's called an Intelligence Fusion Center in Riyadh staffed by US military officers who relay all the target coordinates for their bombing campaign on yemen.

        Here is a news article about it:

      So far he's been "good" on the Middle East.

      Delisted the Houthis, which is a major step.

      Cutting back support for Saudi Arabia (including intelligence and operational support, even if weapons sales continue)

      He did talk to Netanyahu eventually, but the Israelis don't seem happy, which is always a good sign.

      Theoretically he'll be returning to the Iran deal sometime.

      Baby steps, but honestly it's already more than I expected. We'll see how things develop from here.
