Was there a memo I haven't seen going around or something. I'm always out of the loop on who to blame for trump's fucked up doings. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 10 points 7 months ago (1 child) To be clear, American meddling in Latam is not something that Trump introduced or invented. Trump's recent meddling and murder in Venezuela is the culmination of two hundred of years of American foreign policy that both Democrats and Republicans have condoned at the behest of their corporate overlords. The Venezuela debacle is not a Trump thing. It's an American thing that has its roots in the Monroe doctrine, and yes, including Obama. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 0 points 7 months ago Soooooooo, Biden is off the table now is what you're saying.

Those strikes were conducted with the support of regional allies against terrorist orgs. But I know people like you never miss an opportunity to take attention away from Trump and point it towards democrats. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 child) The Obama administration knowingly bombed a civilian hospital permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Auth@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 child) That actually says the opposite. That link says that Obama didnt intend to strike the hospital nor did the general and it was struck due equipment malfuntion and the info relayed to the strike crew causing it to get identified as a similar looking Taliban-controlled building. So a lower level chain of command and procedure failure. Operating in that theater and ordering those strikes was still the correct thing to do. You can even look at the response once they realised the mistake. Trump's admin would never do anything close to that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JamesTBagg@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago Imagine not reading past the first paragraph of "proof" you provide.
