Trump isn't anti-war, or at least I don't trust him to be actually anti-war. He's anti-this-war, but his administration did plenty of hawkish shit towards Iran and Venezuela. I'm not even confident he'll actually do anything to deescalate in Ukraine, I think it's all bluster.

not to mention he ramped up drone strikes 400% more than obama

one of the few things I'm willing to give Biden credit for - he stopped the drone strikes

Did he really, or did he just change who's using them?

Your counterpoint was valid when the Saudis were bombing Yemen, but ever since that wound down, there are legit less bombings.

Still not voting Biden, but I just believe in giving credit where it's due.

Even if there's fewer bombs, it just means that those military strategies are no longer viable for US interests. It's not a moral stance, but a geopolitical one.

I agree. No interest in defending Genocide Joe.

Wow. Credit where credit's due. I didn't know this.
