Obama death count was lower than his predecessor and he also pulled out troops, that doesn’t make Obama not an imperialist. The definition of imperialist would definitely encompass two coups in Latin America and bombing civilians in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. His death count is lower but he’s only served four years, he could have easily matched Obama’s numbers had he been given 4 more years. You still haven’t given me a source for Obama’s death toll, which I’ll remind you is still irrelevant to the argument
Stop being an apologist for Trump. Just because Obama was an imperialist, it does not mean that Trump wasn’t. Killing tens of thousands of civilians in just 4 years with coup attempt in Venezuela, supporting the coup in Bolivia, to bombing a top Iranian official, etc. It all makes him an imperialist. I’m also not sure where you’re getting the 10% number or how your tallying civilians killed under Obama. But bringing up Obama is a complete non sequitur on your assertion that Trump is in some ways not an imperialist
No you’re comparing this. I’m saying he’s an imperialist like the rest of them. Also my article debunks that 13,000 number since it states 13k civilians died from US campaign in Syria and Iraq alone under Trump. It doesn’t even include the civilians that died in Yemen.
And his whole presidency was just 1 term, what are you talking about
Also what hundreds of thousands does under Obama?
My article is countering your assertion that acthually he’s not an imperialist. Bringing up Obama is pointless since he was also an imperialist.
From the article:
As soon as Trump came into office, civilian deaths in the conflict soared. Under his presidency, the U.S.-led coalition air and artillery campaign in Iraq and Syria against the terrorist group killed up to 13,000 civilians
Don’t forget this was just one term
Who the fuck mentioned Obama? Your suggesting Trump is against war which is as dumb as chuds thinking he’s anti establishment

Trump talks from both sides of his mouth. He’s also dropped the “mother of all bombs”, threatened to go after terrorists families, okay’ed the Venezuela coup attempt, regardless of it being driven by the hard neocons like Bolton. He will simultaneously say he’ll end military expansion, while still engaging in it, such as the bombings in Yemen
