I think there are some folks here who forget it was trump who launched a shit ton of missiles and tomahawks into Syria.
"On the morning of 7 April 2017, the United States launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the Mediterranean Sea into Syria, aimed at Shayrat Airbase controlled by the Syrian government."
The so-called anti-war negotiator who claims he is the best at making deals, didn't do one there, or with Iran, or with China, or with Russia. He's been running his mouth about how he didn't have any wars. Well, there has always been shit brewing in the middle east- and he had his hands in the pie just like every POTUS has.
Did Biden do anything more than Trump to incite war? Nah. Just took the gloves off of Ukraine and told them to fight with the tools they have been given. Russia can decide if they want to come after the US, but I'd say it's an even bigger incentive for them to settle the conflict vs. escalate it. Imagine what the outcome would be if you gave Ukraine some air fire-power, and something more than mortars, and short range missiles and mostly defensive firepower. We should have supported them flying some F16s and A10's to stop the advancing troops. How different is our saying to them to use the weapons we've given as you see fit, from Russia asking ANOTHER COUNTRY to aide in the efforts to overthrow a government that we recognize. How did North Korea get away with sending over troops without our raising rent on the whole fiasco?
The answer is in the atacms being used as Ukraine wishes. And totally should have been anticipated by ANY/ EVERY country who brings in another bully into a fight.
