Barack Obama Is Also Scared Shitless That Donald Trump Could Win Another Term: Report - Lemmy.world

Look, anyone with a working brain should be worried about the prospect, because if he wins, then that means we’re in for the worst four years (and probably much longer than four years) of our lives here in the United States. I don’t think we come back from that.
Not just for you guys but the world. The world as we know it is at stake as USA is currently the world’s superpower.
Last time I checked, Trump pulled troops out of Middle East and Asia, where US destabilized many countries. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, Trump is much better.
Which countries
Syria, Iran and Iraq are the ones closest to me.
Can you please provide specific items Trump did that made any of those places better.

By…, not being there? Interfering less? The worst the army did was to left behind ammunition for Taliban to take in Afghanistan.

Compare and contrast this to one of the major reasons for Syrian conflict and complete chaos it (US) brought to Iraq; that’s nothing.

Afghanistan is pretty fucked now because of the Taliban
  • 22 years of continuous violent occupation by the world’s most prolific warmonger

Fine. Cool. Incredibly good, aktuly.

  • 1.5 years of religious conservatives reclaiming a nation that’s been deliberately bankrupted by the departing occupation army

Y’all, I found your problem.

Do you seriously think people are better off in Afghanistan now? Fucking hell you’re deluded.
I think it will take a generation to repair all the damage that the country suffered since the 2002 invasion and occupation. Getting out from under an occupation government that regularly dropped bombs and mortars across its surface, sent in teams of assassins to execute local leadership, and looted the treasure for two decades running was a necessary first step to recovery. But it won’t be any kind of place you’d want to live, any more than Iran was after the '79 revolution or Vietnam was once Ford finally pulled us out of Saigon. It will take a generation or more to repair the damage, assuming some new assholes don’t invade again.
The Taliban banned girls from going to school. That’s going to take more than a generation to fix. Do you think it’s the fault of the US?
The Americans bombed schools.
Mate if you think the Americans are as bad as the Taliban then you are fucking deluded. Take your blinkers off.
If we’re just doing a body count, Americans are two orders of magnitude worse.
I’m talking about women’s basic rights such as education.
Yemen: Coalition Bus Bombing Apparent War Crime

The Saudi-led coalition’s attack on a bus full of young boys adds to its already gruesome track record of killing civilians at weddings, funerals, hospitals, and schools in Yemen. Countries with knowledge of this record that are supplying more bombs to the Saudis will be complicit in future deadly attacks on civilians.

You think that’s comparable? Honest question. If you think an accidental bombing of a bus is comparable to the deliberate closure of all schools then you simply have an agenda and not interested in legitimate discourse. I’m not engaging with your propaganda.

If you think an accidental bombing of a bus

The bombing was entirely intentional. The explosives didn’t deploy due to operator error.

I’m not engaging with your propaganda.

You’re clearly engaging with someone’s
