Between this and Mexico, anti-war Trump sure is talking about starting a lot of wars.

There wouldn’t be a war because they can’t hit us with nukes. That’s the point. They can throw a tantrum and hit Israel or try to, but all their shit will be shot down.

So let’s get this straight:

Biden is pro-war because when, after finally ending Afghanistan*, he assists Ukraine and Israel, when they were attacked by others.

Trump is anti-war while he is considering to bomb a middle-East nation and send special forces into our next-door neighbor.

*and he ended the secret drone war, that Obama was much attacked for, and Trump expanded (which nobody seemed cared about), but Biden never got any credit for ending it.

It's funny-sad how easily social media can turn reality upside down.

Fucking mind boggling to watch.

One specific thing I can think of was when tensions were at a high point with Iran after Solemani was killed by a drone strike, Fox News and other right wing outlets were dusting off the ‘ol “If you aren’t with us, you’re against us.” Flash forward later and those same commentators were trying to portray Trump as some sort of “dove.”

Biden didn’t get America out of Afghanistan, Trump did. Biden only fucked up the withdrawal with no repercussions to the Taliban.

Bidens inaction and failure to draw a redline and show strength made the US adversaries more bold again to attack Ukraine and Israel again like they did under Obama in 2014 as well.

Trump was the first to give lethal weapons to Ukraine and drew a very clear red line to Moscow on an invasion. Biden drew out the response and failed to act, but only give lukewarm support until he lost his election, with limits to the use of weapons.

Biden gave Iran funds to start their destabilisation again by unfreezing several billions in funds, refunding the UNRWA and in turn Hamas, he also enabled the Houthis to wreak havoc on global shipping by delisting them as terrorist and resuming international funding/sanctions to them. Truly one clown move after another.

Biden has been a disaster on foreign policies as seen from a European perspective. Everyone knows America is weak and they have truly taken advantage of that in the past years, China and North Korea included as well.
