The real story here isn’t asshat Trump. It’s that the US can’t keep its hands to itself, and it’s been that way for decades. Trump is just the new boss. The next one will also attack various countries.

    Ah 'both sides'. Yes. The quantity of countries per president doesn't matter.

    Yes, it's bad that other presidents authorized attacks on other countries that they shouldn't have. But also yes, Trump is objectively the greater evil.

    Literally both sides. There's a reason the term "foreign policy consensus" exists. And if we're merely looking at quantity per president, Obama was a bigger warmonger than Bush.

    Yeah, I don't see establishment democrats doing much different when it comes to foreign policy.

    Any war Trump starts, they'll perpetuate and support. They MIGHT start less of them, but they'll continue any existing ones and start a few of their own with the right incentives.
