Where Trump oversaw more than 1,600 air and artillery strikes in Iraq and Syria during his first 11 months in office, Airwars reports just four during Biden's term so far. Strikes in Somalia fell from roughly 75 last year to fewer than 10 this year, with no civilian casualties. And in Yemen, the annual total dropped from about 18 to maybe four, with fewer than 10 casualties of any kind.
Which I think is great. But notice that Biden has said exactly nothing about this in public. I suppose he thinks talking about this would just make him look weak.

ReplyDeleteSounds about right - countless Americans love being able to stop and think that someone, somewhere out there in the world, is being blown to smithereens through the expenditure of their tax dollars, without any accountability or even basic concern for guilt or legality. Anything less is cowardly and untoward.
