Dear MAGA,
I know many of you are upset at Trump's pro-war picks. You expected him to be anti-war. I hate to tell you but your favorite 'independent media' hosts were lying to you the entire time. Here's Trump's 1st term foreign policy:
- increased drone strikes 432%
- 2,243 drone strikes in his first 2 years alone (more than 8 years of Obama)
- kept us in Iraq
- kept us in Afghanistan
- 330% increase in civilian deaths in Afghanistan
- bombed Syria twice
- bombed somalia
- occupied a third of Syria to โtake the oilโ
- Increased the military budget every year
- let Israel illegally annex the Golan heights (which is Syrian)
- assassinated a top Iranian commander who was fighting ISIS
- tried to coup Venezuela
- ripped up the Iran agreement
- armed Saudi Arabia as they did a genocide in Yemen and vetoed a bill to cut off the weapons
- dropped the 'mother of all bombs' on Afghanistan
- hired John Bolton, Mike Pompeo & Gina Haspel (all insane neocon warmongers) and let them run his foreign policy
- Pardoned black water war criminals
- signed pro-torture executive order
- his first military raid as president killed a little American girl
I haven't even included in this list what he SAYS he wants in his 2nd term (war with Mexico, allow Israel to annex the West Bank). Stop listening to scam artists who don't know the first thing about policy and only care about vibes.
With love,
a guy who gives a shit about policy
