Now that’s a completely different set of issues and arguments lol. I was discussing purely the “illegal” wars that each president has carried out during their terms, upholding the Military Industrial Complex standard.

This is reality. One can’t hope to gain anything useful or non-detrimental from cherry picked comparisons. And I would argue even then we are not looking at the same types or severity or blatantness of egregious disregard for the rule of law. And that’s not even taking into account the underlying goals, and intentions, and motivating factors for these actions, which are frankly dialectically and morally opposite.
