13 US terrorists
What? Soft power? Negotiation? Breaking bread with our (fr)enemies? Nah, we don’t do that here. Besides, how else are people going to know that we’re big, tough, and strong? /s
“Everyone has a plan until they’re punched in the face.”
Corollary: Nobody has a plan when punching people in the face doesn’t work.
we used to be so bug and strong we didn’t have to punch people in the face dammit
also i’m keeping it

Trump wants to jail him for being black, I think.
trump and his father always hated blacks, always refer to them as the N-WORD. even on trumps own REALITY show, he hated how omarosa, and other black contestants have to win sometimes.
All because a pedophile doesn’t like us talking about how gross and disgusting he is, and that he’s a rapist and pedophile.
All these people died for that.
Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia
The smug Drone King mass-murderer needs to STFU
did America really take 97% of Iran’s enriched Uranium ?
Yes, that’s because Obama had a fucking healthy brain and body.
Trump is demented and dying in front of us.
Great job, Republicans. You owned your own country and deteriorated the world (which you and everyone you love live in) in order to own the libs.
Fucking goddamn idiotic numbskulled dumbasses. Every fucking one of them. Absolutely braindead, worm-brained, self-destructive assholes. I genuinely hope history destroys every one of them.
I’ll never forget, will you?
Republicans have absolutely no clue how the past few months damaged America’s reputation in the world. Especially in Arabic countries and Europe the trust in America has gone from an already low level to absolute zero. Every country which isn’t absolutely braindead tries to cut ties with the US as fast as possible. This is a loss of soft power which made the US dominate the world and might never be repairable even with a sane president. America’s decline is accelerating because of that down the line, long after Trump has left this world.
He was smart enough to drone strike children and got americans to think he’s a nice guy. Or americans are just dumb and or don’t care
Obama pulled it off because Iran had significant geopolitical leverage and he wasn’t dumb enough to confront them with direct escalatory military action (he still used Stuxnet) like Trump was.
He had no issues carpet bombing Afghanistan because they didn’t have any military power that could oppose the USA.
Even for Trump, the real deviation from the standard Uncle Sam treatment was this year’s crapshow. Last year’s operation midnight hammer could have happened under any president for the past 3 decades and no one would’ve blinked an eye.
Also, “everyone” is conveniently ignoring that invading and bombing iran has been a bipartisan wet dream since the islamic revolution took place. I assume almost every american politician is probably gooning every day to the images of burned bodies tbh
Did Obama conduct carpet bombing? A quick google search indicates it was mostly conducted in the early stages straight after 9/11 under Bush
“Service men”? Makes it sound like they are in the peace corps or missionaries. How about “soldier”?
Cause not everyone in the military is a soldier.
Do you have a better word that doesn’t make militaries sound like they’re on some charitable mission
In Germany they’re called citizens in uniform nowadays
servicemen is all branches. soldiers is army, airmen is airforce, etc. they are using precise legal language for the US military. it’s literally the word they chose like, two hundred years ago i think?
Always feels newspeak-adjacent to me, idk
Competence and responsibility mean nothing to republicans. Words mean nothing to them. They have no consistent beliefs and their lives are controlled by their erratic emotions and bigoted preconceptions.
Society cannot function while people like that have any control over anything, and in the USA they are disproportionately represented in our government.
Yes but he’s a black democrat so it doesn’t matter
Idk it irks me that he seems smug about it. Dude your country is fucking disintegrating…
Idk about smug, but I do see where you’re coming from.
It’s entirely pointless and definitely irritating to keep hearing ‘when I was in charge we did things differently’ when the bar is as low as it is right now. It does not help, and clearly serves the ego of the speaker. To say as a leader that you did things ‘better’ back then is low hanging fruit and an incredibly poor and patronizing attempt at continuing your role as a leader. Waxing nostalgic about your time as leader does absolutely fuck all to help us out of this, which you of all people have more power than any of us to do. Otherwise this is what it is: lip service and an easy ‘gimme’ he thinks we side with him on.
Don’t get me wrong: he alone cannot pull us out of this, and I agree he indeed contributed to the eventuality we now call reality.
Obama doesn’t care. He and his family are set for life, and if USA becomes to hostile toward them, they’ll move to another NATO country and live like royalty.
Homie wants to talk cool while we all watched him launch missiles at school busses. Let’s not act like US Presidents haven’t been war criminals for over a decade.
Yeah didn’t vote for this guy after the first term.
He was a sham.
We could do better, but the democrats have done nothing but far, far… Far, far, far… Far, far worse.
Since I was ten or so every president has crossed that line.
Were you born in 1850?
Really coming for Lincoln, eh?
You got me. I’m a vampire. I feed on snark though.
Damn you must be extremely obese having a Lemmy account.
You should know that you are currently orbiting me.
I wonder if everyone who calls Obama a war criminal also calls bin Laden a freedom fighter.
No. Obama is war criminal and Ben Laden is a terrorist
The punctuation you omitted makes this an accurate statement.
Man your mind is going to be absolutely blown when you learn two people can simultaneously be bad.
Or even that individuals can do good and bad things.
I wonder if those Syrian children would have lead kind lives had they been given the chance to live them
Or libya
Or Iraq
So you agree. You think bin Laden was a freedom fighter.
Please follow me around and make art out of all my comments.
You called it art 🥰
It is fun to make memes this way. Hmm…
it really is. by hand is the best. i’m just grumpy you beat me to it.
We can show the world how to settle differences on the internet 🎶
Did Obama use military Ops that killed innocent people? Yes.
Is Obama still infinitely better as a president and human versus the Cheeto Chimp? Yes.
Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.
90% civilian casualties from his drone strikes.
A record 3.8 million deportations and a lot more.You can debate who is the worse war criminal and mass-murderer, probably him.
‘better’ is not the right word.Obama is certainly a better human and leader vs Cheeto Chimp. That’s not up for debate.
