    Idk how old you are, but prior to 2016 we were actually… decent. Obamas biggest problem was the he loved drone striking brown people, which I would argue is a massive win over dropping white phosphorus on them or trying to start world war 3. Culturally though, yeah. Any country that would elect trump needs a hard reset of its populace.

        No, im stating that if you guys will only elect warlord leaders, id rather you choose ones that use pess destructive, more targetted attacks instead of intentionally designing precision missiles and then deciding that they dont have enough civilian casualities, so you convert it into a shotgun.

      Using missiles to kill civilians on other side of the world is decent?

      Maybe it was decent before Bush but definetely not 2016.

        Show me a country that isn’t guilty of it… Is that an excuse, no… But it maybe points to something more nuanced than “USA bad!”

          In the last 20 years,
          Ireland never launched a missile at Taiwan,
          Egypt never launched a missile at Nicaragua,
          Brazil never launched a missile at Turkey,
          Japan never launched a missile at Kosovo,

          All have less distance than USA to Iran.

          (Iran never launched a missile at mainland USA also)

          Switzerland, most of the Nordic countries, the countries that are victims of this type of aggression, China (they mainly threaten neighbors, not cruise missile randos on the other side of the world), South Korea… Actually now that I think about it most countries aren’t guilty of it. It’s really mostly the US and its allies that violently project military power across the globe like that.
