I'm not excusing anything, just pointing out the differences in motive. As I already explained to Valwinz, the bombs will continue to fall as long as every president we elect is a staunch capitalist beholden to the military-industrial complex. With that as a baseline, all we can compare them on is how many new wars they start or don't start.
Under Trump our stance on Russia was whatever Putin wanted it to be. The same is true of Israel and Netanyahu, as well as Saudi Arabia and their royal family. They all had strings firmly attached to the presidency, which is why Trump was
still asking about his authorization to bomb Iran even after losing the 2020 election.
Tsk tsk, deeming an entire nation of individuals "terrorists" just because some of their leadership is attempting to develop nuclear weapons? Or perhaps it's because you think the US' religious extremists are somehow morally superior to religious extremists in the Middle East? Either way, a bit of your neocon is shining through the cracks.
More specifically, Fauci called the Trump administration's plan for a vaccine rollout "vague." That's the closest you're gonna get to a career CDC doctor saying they were fucking clueless.
Well we already tried throwing trillions at corporate welfare last year. For some odd reason, that didn't make the pandemic immediately and completely disappear.
That's fair, though the Obama administration didn't have a policy of family separation, and the influx of immigrants coming from South America during the Trump administration required the construction of additional facilities. Those facilities were left as bare-bones as possible, with nothing but concrete floors to sleep on surrounded by steel fencing. Hell, they even went to court to argue that immigrant children didn't need showers, soap, or toothpaste.
