    What does it say about our current political environment that it isnt immediately clear to me if this graphic is being used to imply “both sides” or “trump bad”?

    The peace president, who did not start any more wars… they said (and some still say …???).

    It was absurd in the first weeks when he’d tripled obama’s drone bombing rate before ordering reporting on his drone bombing be censored.

    He is their boy. He has always been their boy.

    Really puts the Yemen situation into high relief. We’ve been at war with them for over 20 years, but we keep pretending they attacked us out of the blue a few years ago.

      The big attack on the US we were focused on in the Middle East for a bit was the attack on the USS Cole in October of 2000. We were ramping up for possible action in response to it over the next 11 months, but then 9/11 happened and everyone forgot Yemen existed again.

    I wonder what our current path would be if the Nobel committee threw a peace trinket at trump a while back?

      There would be no difference. A guy like Trump is not satisfied by anything. He will continue his work of destruction until he dies, regardless of any FIFA peace price or Nobel price he is awarded

    I, for one, want to thank our glorious USA overlords, for not nuking any new countries this decade. And for not (again) financing terrorist in my country this decade (well, at least nothing got reported); nor black sites (this decade), and only manipulating our elections and financing far right parties. And making sure the “tech” giants keep exploiting us.

    I am so lucky. /s
