Trump not only started no wars. He tried to stop two wars. He was overruled by the Pentagon and State Department (if you’re Obama’s people, you call them “the blob”, if you’re Trump’s people, you call them “the deep state” - either way it’s unelected government flexing and demonstrating that democracy has no effect on their decisions) and the wars continued. Remember after Trump ordered a withdrawal from Syria, a pissed-off McCain made a beeline for Syria and a week later there was a false flag chemical attack that the OPCL said never happened? And then the war had to continue. Darn!

Then Biden ordered one of the wars stopped, and these same unelected government were absolutely outraged. So in retaliation, they did a poor job of withdrawal and blamed the disaster on Biden. Yet another Suez Moment for America, which seem to keep happening and yet America’s standing in the world is the same as ever.

Neither Trump nor Obama were in charge of the drone strikes. They merely had to rubber stamp the decisions made by the Pentgon and State Department, the real rulers in America. Had either of them not done so, they would be designated as domestic enemies and dealt with accordingly. Heck, this actually happened to Trump. Obama was more compliant.

Every organization in America has to have political opinions now. And they’d better support the political establishment otherwise there will be consequences. The American Federation Of Teachers, one of the US’ largest teachers unions, comes out in favor of bombing Syria . I feel like this is some sort of reductio ad absurdum of unnecessary politicization of stuff. But it’s our reality now.

Why don’t they just shut up about it? Because silence is violence. You’re either in the forefront or you’re suspicious.
