      I consider teh US a full participant. It’s the US’s proxy war, it’s US arms, it’s US intel. We weren’t just giving them stuff, we were re-fueling their planes with US aerial refueling tankers. They literally could not have done it without us.

      We also provided targeting. There were a lot of double-tap strikes in that war! And we provided logistics like in-air refueling. Most importantly, the US was part of the genocidal starvation blockade. And when the Saudis realized they can no longer continue the war in late 2022, Biden was the one pressuring them to not end it. But China’s diplomacy won out.

        Unironically he started less wars than Biden. Granted who the fuck knows what he would actually do if he got office again. He might start more. Nobody knows. I don’t even think he knows

            Reminder that during the 2016 election she wanted a no-fly zone over Syria. Where Russian planes fly at the request of the Syrian government.

          i dunno if i’d give him that, how much shit did he do that wasn’t publicized and then how much was just memory holed

          i remember he scared the shit out of everyone for assassinating that iranian general

            That assassination was absolutely an act of war. Iran chose to hit back in a more round about way, but for this alone I refuse to entertain the idea of Trump being any kind of peace president.

              yeah, he might have a few different targets in mind but he’d absolutely be open to a hog approval war in venezuela or iran if the generals made him feel like he came up with it. he also had no problems escalating things with china.

          It’s not really to his credit, but I think he’s the first President since Carter to not declare war (or something very close). He and Carter are still bastards who funded death, and Trump particularly did wildly expand the drone program, but it is what it is.

          That’s the hard part is it’s literally just a cpin toss.

          He’s not gonna go to war with China over Taiwan but he might declare war on all of South America to tell his base he’s stopping immigrants, or start a war with some country we have no diplomatic ties to one way or the other because somebody told him it’s where a celebrity he doesn’t like is from.

          Last time people were starting to actually get tense about north Korea because he started yelling “you wont” at them on Twitter but they were smart enough to just declare him an official special big boy and a week later he was saluting their generals on camera.

          Also he’s really stupid and, more importantly, lazy. If he did actually try to go to war with somebody it’d probably fail because he gave the contract to produce rifles to a northern jersey real estate development company.

      The US is now at war with Gaza and Yemen because Yemen decided to block Israeli shipping to Gaza, and that’s somehow bad for the US or some shit. I hate it here.
