When has that ever stopped anyone?

Obama using drone strikes to strategically target terrorist groups within a country is entirely different than directly attacking a sovereign country’s resources.

It won’t go on for more than 60 (maybe 90) days without Congress’s consent.

Obama bombed civilian hospitals.

It’s pretty similar to be fair

The DWB airstrike that everybody loves to refer to when bringing up that point was a mistake. The military and the administration owned up to that. The context around it is imperative to actually understanding the situation. Barack Obama did not order targeted strikes on civilian hospitals. I’m not even an Obama stan, but the fact this has to be explained to people is as alarming as Trump’s action.

obama was pretty bad but that was also post 9/11 with osama still alive so

the Vietnam war had no formal declaration. Nor did the Korean war or either of our conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq

ugh ok, the analogy i’ve heard is “for every room where Republicans are eating babies, Democrats are in the next room over putting babies on a plate” yeah Trump is even more aggressive. But Obama normalized and created the infrastructure for the drone wars. Biden set the stage for head-on war with Iran. US foreign policy is basically uniparty.

yes 100%. and Biden chose not to recommit us to the deal.

yeah this is bs. the RS article explains why Iran had good reason to be skeptical by August 2021, not least bc in April 2021, Israel attacked one of the same sites we bombed today bottom line: Trump unilaterally pulled America from the deal. Biden should’ve unilaterally re-entered the deal in January. His failure directly led to what’s happening now.

You cannot blame Biden for this. That would be foolish. That administration has other things to focus on and there usually is some hope that things would remain peaceful without us intervention

ok i already explained this dynamic in this thread. Biden put the baby on the plate. Trump is now eating the baby. It’s both their faults.

You mean World War III isn’t imminent? Preposterous!
