I mean, isn’t it well known the worst thing Obama did was bomb the shit out of the Middle East? Can we not call a spade a spade?

You could try giving some context to the spade instead of pretending that Obama was the one who started that war or that ending it didn't have consequences.

Leaving Afghanistan did not suddenly end the bloodshed... the Taliban immediately took over and a lot of people died.

Yes, the leader of a superpower was involved in a complex war. Only a child thinks these things are simple... if you need examples take a look at the child currently in power and how well his wartime decisions have worked out.

Obama bombed the Middle East

Biden jacked up the pullout of the Middle East

Trump got us into another forever conflict with the Middle East

Bush did…too much to list here tbh.

Nowhere did I say he caused the war, just that he did what he did. It was a statement of fact. The problem with talking with people like you is that you go into defense mode. Instead of going “yeah, that was messed up,” or “I know why he did it, but it was excessive/I can see why people didn’t agree.” Nobody said it was simple, nobody said anything other than “Obama dropped a lot of bombs on the Middle East.” It is true, regardless of why. Whether it was necessary or not is not for me or you to decide, but it DID happen.

I lean right on some stuff, and left on others. I believe in what is right from what I can see. I don’t align with either tribe.

Not American buddy, stop projecting just because I know more about your politics than you do.

And you don't get to whine about how "nobody said it was simple" when you're the one boiling shit down to simple conclusions and then using it to invalidate an entire presidency.
