So much better to just blow up things at random than to actually have a specific target.


I guess he would have been a big fan of LeMay's fire bombing Japan.

Well that's definitely the dumbest thing I'll read today.

You misunderstand I think. Trump's strike was a surgical strike against Solenomni Biden's was not. I believe the original post was saying people who justified Trump's strike on Solenomni were playing mental gymnastics to be against Biden's strike.

I think he was making fun of the opposite.

Trump's strike didn't put enough money in pockets.

Yuge difference.

It was also different because it was a targeted hit on a very specific person.

I haven't heard anything about the Biden strike that makes me think this strike was targeted toward a specific person.


Obama did this to an American citizen. Better check the record.

And why is this different, 22 people died in the strike are you telling me you know with certainty ALL were enemies combatants? I'll wait.

My point is that Trump largely continued the US FP establishment's policies around the world. Where he differed was effectively small, and in other respects, he supported Neo-Con orthodoxy to a degree that made little sense.


Hogwash. Trump was all but begged to get us into several wars, by his party, by democrats, and by the other countries themselves. Member when he decided not to frick Iran up? I member. Hell, the democrats wanted war with Russia after Hildebeast lost in 2016. Trump was the most non-interventionist president we've had in my lifetime, but libertarians live to make perfect the enemy of good, so do you, baw.
