    Historically you have to campaign as being against the war but then promptly set about the business of creating a war once in office

        unfortunately he was just stating US policy there - Obama infamously drone bombed a wedding. one of the things that makes him appealing to his base is that he takes these facts (or presumed facts in other cases) and says them straight up without hiding it behind sophistry.

          Yeah, the way the US picks targets to murder is like algorithm moderated vibes. It’s really sick.

          Obama also liked double tapping ambulances. IE dropping a missile, waiting for first responders and neighbors to show up, then dropping another missile.
