Wait -

Biden isn't in office

Trump admin - arranged proxy wars

Obama admin - arranged proxy wars

Bush admin - should be all 4 pictures

This propaganda the supposed similarity of all politicians only serves the extreme right-wing goal to reduce government to a corporate puppet show.

The extreme right wing position that we shouldn't be bombing people?

If that's the extreme right wing position, then seig heil.

Love the username!

I refer to right-wing bellicosty under Bush Jr's Admin (esp. his team, Israel's influence &c), responsible for up-to 650,000 deaths, and numerous continual problems.

Pretty sure the point of the comic is that US attacks in the middle east started under Bush, continued under Obama, hasn't ended under Trump, and won't end under Biden.

It's been over a decade since Bush was in power. We can't blame him for the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan at this point. It's on the people who refuse to get out.

You do realize that the destabilization and other problems started by Bush/Rove/Rumsfeld &c (and extending back to Reagan and earlier) have required years of work to get the US out of those areas, and may never end completely. This isn't about blame. It's about our understanding of the trajectory of events.

Funny, when Obama ran, he seemed pretty keen on getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan and closing down gitmo.

What's a few major platform promises between friends?

    Where do you get your information? Have you not noticed what the US has done in the Middle East in the past 4 yours, especially by proxy? Interesting that there are people like you who've completely missed this.

        Yemen isn't a proxy war, enlisted military have been telling the Sauds where to bomb.

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

        The US and other countries are making $billions on the wars they've stirred up in the Middle East, and Yemen is only one example of this. And like Yemen, all of the countries suffering from these proxy wars have the US to thank for much of the conflict, famine, genocide &c (see also the UK, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Russia &c). See the US as an investor in military conflicts rather than in the traditional form of war. This keeps the military industrial complex in business. The resulting human suffering is extensive.

        Yes that's why we're here meming about it and properly calling it out as official deep state policy. Maybe Trump will buck the trend but Obozo certainly did not.
