Personally, I dislike the majority of the US presidents pretty equally. Obama is just liked by the liberals more and did a better job of not gaining mainstream media backlash, but they both committed their fair share of war crimes, Biden too. Trump actually ordered more drone strikes in four years than Obama in eight.
Trump also took a lot of the safeguards off drone strikes that were designed to avoid civilian casualties. Not that things were perfect under Obama, but not only did it get worse under Trump but the reporting/accountability measures also went away.
Honestly I dont think the president has that much to decide when it comes to military actions. What he does is announce the decisions of the military (or in other words, he is “following their recommendations”). Biden cant even remember the name of the Australian president after “being in talks” with him for weeks. His whole job seems to be reading from teleprompters (or trying to recite a speech, and stumbling).
Fair point. The warlords and ultra rich run the show. The president is honestly more of a figure head than people realize. Though my point is that Trump is still as big a war criminal than Obama all things considered, as are the rest of the US military leadership.
