I finally know how my grandma feels reading this shit.
Carter, Ford, and Nixon did not enter any new wars. As for Trump...
January 2017 to January 2020: Trump bombs seven different countries, massively increasing the scale of the US drone program while escalating civilian casualties
7 April 2017: Trump attacks Syria with 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles as part of Operation Inherent Resolve
14 April 2018: Trump attacks Syria with a series of military strikes involving aircraft and ship-based missiles
3 January 2020: Trump attacks Iran with a drone strike, killing several members of the Iranian high command
If he invaded Iran when one of the above happened + he stopped the trade war with the term suggested on June 2019 + he didn't ordered "all US troops out of northern Syria" on October 2019 + he didn't sell advanced arms (see below) to Taiwan even after the CCP warned on July 2019 the sale was violating "one China" policy + he didn't initiate killing off Huawei / Tsinghua Unigroup / SMIC + he didn't persuade India not to participate in China's BCIM Economic Corridor project during the second Belt and Road Forum in 2019;
there would have been no pandemic + the GOP didn't send out the stand down orders to their operatives during 2020 election + CIA and the CCP's MSS didn't interfere with DRE voting systems on said election.
Some people criticize the US administration's arming Taiwan, but I think it was a proper move after the CCP built artificial islands in the South China Sea, a.k.a the symbol of its revisionism + and after the CCP successfully incited a colour revolution in South Korea during 2015 and 2016. (Now, the current administration in S. Korea is hyper-pro-Beijing.)
The U.S. selling arms to the rest of the world is really the best outcome. We get jobs and income and rest of the world does what humans have always done. They are gonna kill each other no matter what....may as well make some profit off it.
In Trumps defense, the day ain't over yet...
He was brought in to handle the official bankruptcy of america and usher in global technofascism. They don't need wars anymore.
American president doesn't start any new wars, only continues on the five existing ones. It's the equivalent of congratulating an adult for going a year without shitting their pants.
