I trust Trump about as far as I can throw him, and at the end of the day it's really the Pentagon calling the shots here not the POTUS.

But dudes clearly speaking to a public sentiment here.

not to mention he ramped up drone strikes 400% more than obama

one of the few things I'm willing to give Biden credit for - he stopped the drone strikes

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

same here. and I have never heard a liberal mention it

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago

Did he really, or did he just change who's using them?

Your counterpoint was valid when the Saudis were bombing Yemen, but ever since that wound down, there are legit less bombings.

Still not voting Biden, but I just believe in giving credit where it's due.

Even if there's fewer bombs, it just means that those military strategies are no longer viable for US interests. It's not a moral stance, but a geopolitical one.

I agree. No interest in defending Genocide Joe.

Exactly, especially that the drones were proven to be vulnerable to anyone who have an actual military and is willing to oppose USA for real, like Russia, Iran or even Yemen (and unlike Pakistan or Iraq).
