Democrats are so ready to rehabilitate capitalist war criminals, including the one that they detested in the 2000s. Watch them do this with Trump in 10 years.
More like 3-4 times that, but the point stands.
just a reminder for y’all
carter: the operation eagle claw debacle, responsible for severing ties with the soviets when they invaded afghanistan (and laying the groundwork for funding the mujaheddin), forcibly capped cuban refugee entry
clinton: bombed iraq three separate times, upheld the no-fly zones, ordered the bombing of yugoslavia, responsible for the disastrous intervention in somalia
bush: the american intervention in afghanistan, the toppling of the iraqi government, the entire blackwater war crimes scandal, GTMO, Abu Ghraib (don’t google that), blamed the israeli airstrikes in gaza on the palestinians
obama: responsible for toppling the libyan government, leading to actual fucking slave markets, gave the go-ahead for the saudi war crimes in yemen, ordered drone strikes on civilian targets also in yemen, hit syria with cruise missiles and funded jihadi forces in idlib, which by proxy ended up supporting Da’esh (ISIL)
Carter always gets "not like the other girls" treatment when he continued funding the Indonesian military dictatorship during the peak of the genocidal violence during occupation of Timor-Leste, which killed over a third of the indigenous population.
Friendly reminder that if the judgements of the Nuremburg Trials were enforced after WW2, every US president since FDR would be hanged as a war criminal.
Oh, incidentally: it has since come out that Obama greenlit the CIA to help destabilize the left-leaning government of Brazil and bring Bolsonaro to power. So when you read about the Amazon rainforests dying because Bolsonaro encouraged mining companies to set fires to clear land (and force the natives off)? That was Obama (and Biden).
[Image Description by @yourfriendthefangirl : Two tweets posted April 3-4, 2020. The first is by Michael @/MichaelSchweitz and reads, “Just a reminder. None of these men would have been okay with losing a quarter of a million Americans.” The tweet features a black and white photo of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and George Bush, all wearing suits and ties and staring off to the right of the camera. The second tweet is a quote tweet of the first by Valentina @/LeftistThot420, who asks, “What about a quarter of a million Iraqis?” /End ID]
