KapedThe US of A
Yeah, that’s totally the only difference between the two parties.
Trump was the first US president in my lifetime that did not star new wars.
That’s just objectively wrong, but go ahead with the disinformation.
If we consider the Koran War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the war in Afghanistan and the Iraq War, Trump joins Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower in not having officially brought the United States into a new war since 1945. - Linkreuters.com/…/uk-factcheck-modern-us-presidents-n…
Fact check: Which U.S. presidents led the nation into new wars?
Posts on social media say former U.S. President Donald Trump was “the first president in modern history” who “did not start a new war.” There have, however, been other U.S. presidents in modern history who did not enter the country into a new war. While defining military...
Obama involved us in Syria and supported the Saudis bombing Yemen.
Clinton got involved in the Balkans.
Reagan funded rebel groups in South America.
Carter… Actually idk anything this far back.
You should listen to Noam Chomsky. He’s very very liberal and has some good criticisms of the US involvement overseas. I don’t agree with everything he says but it’s worth listening to.
TheMightyCanuckDo you believe the US military had no overseas involvement during the Trump administration?
Of course they did. Why are you even asking?
Our involvement in Syria was to annihilate ISIS, and was the largest post-WW2 coalition allied against a common enemy. Comsidering that they were about to genocide millions of people amd conquer half the middle east, ill give obama a pass. It would have beat watching LA amd London being actually nuked by terrorists.
So why is the US still occupying parts of Syria now when ISIS is long gone?
Good question:
“They are trying to prevent any comeback by the Islamic State group, which swept through Iraq and Syria in 2014, taking control of large swaths of territory.”
Per the AP

They still have tens of thousands of former ISIS members stuck in jail waiting to get out and try it again.
A look at the US military mission in Syria and its dangers
The Iranian drone attack that struck a U.S. base in northeastern Syria, killing a contractor and wounding several U.S. troops, is just the latest in a growing number of attacks on American forces in Syria. But its lethality was rare. In most recent cases, no U.S. forces have been hurt. Thursday's strike set off a series of retaliatory bombings. American troops have been in Syria since 2015, but the latest casualties highlight what has been a consistent, but often quiet, U.S. counterterrorism mission, one aimed at countering Iranian-backed militias and preventing the resurgence of the Islamic State group.
