    I thought we were talking about how a vote for team blue or team red is a vote for genocide and war? The US’ 200 ish year old history has always been based on war, stop trying to argue against it makes you look uneducated. No other country has carried out the level of meddling destruction and annihilation of entire populations that the US has carried out, either alone or by supplying its allies.

    If you want to compare, at least 75 thousand Palestinians were killed in the first 16 months (so 15 months under biden, 1 under trump) but the excess mortality is way higher according to peer reviewed studies in medical journals as indirect deaths aren’t counted in those numbers. Still, taking that 75k number, Biden surpasses the rate of killing than what trump has achieved through its operations and its allies.

    So, no trump hasn’t turned up things up to eleven. Trump has just burned bridges with some allies and couped a few countries, which is slightly more active than Biden, but nothing out of the ordinary.

    Like Mulligrabs said, regardless of which side of the coin you choose, the US is sure to come and destroy everything you have (or supply someone to do it for them).

    “Oh but he’s upsetting allies” what the fuck does that matter? The world doesn’t care that a few allies are upset when they’re getting bombed by America.

    The US is an empire and I sincerely hope it collapses.

      I don’t care to continue this discussion, but it’s clear you shouldn’t make any allusions to someone looking uneducated when your own portrayal of what Trump is doing makes you look like you understand geopolitics at the level of a five-year-old.

        Please enlighten me about how Trump is breaking off from any other president when it comes to foreign policy. You also still haven’t given a single backing as to how Trump has turned things up to eleven.
