You didnt say you were concerned about Biden not withdrawing troops then turn around and complain Obama was handling conflicts without troops?
We still have troops there nonetheless
If you're going to go on bombing runs, why even have troops on the ground at all.
My personal gripes with all this are A: Our military force shouldn't be taken for granted, so there should be immediate withdrawal of all American forces occupying those territories and B: The number of civilian casualties for a conflict with so little justification for intervention is unacceptable in my opinion
Remain civil in here, no wishes of violence on other people, nor attacks against other people.
You know, except for brown people over seas.
Peaceful brexit administrative type
How about "I hope the consequences of the policies which you're making excuses for that effect people in other countries are visited upon you"?
I am not as familiar with this particular talking point, so I am doing some research. To call those "wars" is a bit of a stretch and several of those we have been dealing since way before the Obama administration.
The US has:
- had skirmishes with Libya since the 80's
- conducted drone strikes in Yemen since the mid 00's (hundreds of them by some accounts)
- we have not been at war with Pakistan, but have been carrying out drone strikes since at least 2004.
- Syria is complicated, but the alternative to not getting involved was potentially worse.
I don't have fully formed opinions yet, but on the surface, characterizing these as 5 "wars" started under Obama is not an accurate description of what happened.
No.
Bombs are acts of war. He did dropped 1 bomb every 12 minutes or something like that.
Not that volume no
but acts of war nonetheless in my opinion
sorry, updated. 12 minutes.
And as for Syria, it was always a losing battle. There remained little to gain, and even less to sustain
By this same definition, Trump has started more... Each of these has continued under Trump and he added Iran by assassinating their General. Plus, he failed to take measures to protect the troops when they learned that bounties were put on the heads of our soldiers.
You're correct. He did however make the largest strides towards ending them.
I'm not condoning Trump by any means, but it doesn't absolve the actions of previous presidents either
it can't just be this revolving narrative between who's the lesser of these evils.
But still, he's the commander in chief, he has the high authority when it comes to military action
I only mention it, because concerns were expressed that Biden would potentially be worse for our military and when I suggested that as a parent of a serviceman deployed, Biden might be more sympathetic to the plight of our troops;
Except when asked about it by a veteran directly, he refused to answer
Did dominion actually say they are unhackable or was that just a claim? Guaranteeing zero hacks vs saying we are very secure is very different
They said it was "impossible"
No system is unhackable, many systems are hard to hack, really really hard but saying that it is unhackable is more of a marketing term
Anyway, I'll take a Tulsi Gabbard over Trump any day.
Andrew Wang would also work on the war front.
I don't recall that... But, if I were Biden, I would choose my words carefully until I was getting the PDB's and fully read into everything before making any commitments. I know that doesn't bode well for soundbites, but it could be indicative of wanting to maintain his integrity. Or he could have been secretly planning to go hog wild.
Huh I wonder if they are more framing it in terms of the actual claims the kraken makes. They do have a security vulnerability reporting system
I was impressed during her Joe Rogan interview. He's a big fan of hers.
I dont know how liable you are unless you stamp a guarantee on it anyways
Sorry for going off topic, I saw the press conference with powell and Wood. What's their game plan? Overturning GA would be huge but not even the most entrenched Trumpsupporter can say that it is likely. Are they willing to give up the senate just as a show of force?
Curiously a while ago Norton wanted to put a 100% money guarantee on viruses they were shopping around and tried to get our company on board that would have cost some money
Why does this witness at the hearing sound drunker than usual. She seemed sleepy in other interviews but now she just has gone straight wine mom
It was pretty over the top... Wood was trying to channel his inner Trump.
But none of them are stupid (I think), they must have a plan or 2
Are they starting a 3:rd party?
That’s old school
