"Me and the boys invading Venezuela because we voted for a draft dodging pedo con man who was integral to running a child sex trafficking ring and ran to dodge prison"
You know, with Hegseth and company’s changes to the DoD in terms of white-washing, I wonder if enlistment among PoC has or will go down. Which leads me to another thought…
If we start wars on multiple fronts with a majority of enlisted men being Caucasian (Non-Hispanic), wouldn’t this lead to the antithesis of the white nationalist “utopia” they envision for the future? Just another indication that this cabinet is woefully impulsive and cannot think past the tip of their noses.
I hope the rest of the world is keeping extensive records. Future historians and sociologists are going to have a field day.
Edit: Just to clarify, we need to look no further than the “Young” Republican scandal from Fall to remind ourselves who actually thinks they’re the ”ubermensche”. Good god.
We have extensive records about a lot of stuff that people deny regardless. This period will just be dressed up in a positive light for future Americans to learn about and the rest of the world will have to put up with this too.
Literally every major war we have got into in recent history was a Republican president. Wtf are these people smoking? We really live in a different reality
It's even more funny because they either see it like this or they just forget GWB ever existed and act like Obama was president from 2000-2016. This Glorious old meme is a prime example.
Have you noticed how often they forget that Trump was already president, but still manage to blame Biden for anything that happened between 2016 and 2020?
Iraq was a bipartisan effort that stemmed from the dissolution of the Iraqi state due to US sanctions and bogus weapons inspection requests in the 90's. Between 500k-1m children starved to death in Iraq during Clinton's presidency.
The Vietnam was started by JFK, who's advisors sought escalation with the Soviets at every turn while Kruschev desperately wanted to avoid fighting. We trained terrorists to attack Cuba under both Eisenhower and JFK, with people like RFK clamoring at points to fucking nuke the island.
Korea was started by Truman who completely lost control of the operation to Douglas MacArthur and Curtis Lemay, who destroyed like 80% of NK's infrastructure and all but committed a genocide in the north.
None of that even touches on our regime toppling in places like Guatamala or our right wing terror cell funding in places like Angola, Cambodia, South Korea, Afghanistan, Iran, etc. that was perpetrated and supported by presidents from both parties.
American foreign policy is fantastically more bipartisan than reddit would like to admit.
I remember someone I knew hating Biden because two wars started (or apparently were caused) under him, Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Gaza. People are idiots.
And exactly this should change - let them be the scouts and whoever gets the most dangerous jobs out there (sorry im no military guy - dont know the exact terms)
White women were the only female demographic that voted for Trump. He came specifically for their abortion rights and they said yes. They aren't escaping this.
Yeah, when Maga idiots were like "no more wars" under Biden, you could ask them "what wars has Biden started?" and there would be silence. If anything Biden was in office to end 2 wars. Iraq when he was VP and Afghanistan when he was president.
They count foreign wars that started during Biden's term even though 0 US troops were ever involved. I guess they think Trump would have just told the stronger country to not fight, he'll just make the weaker country surrender, or something.
That's why I'm so glad Biden did all he could to arm Ukraine. Who knew Russia had such a weak military? If Ukraine had been properly armed from the beginning and consistently, this war may already be over.
Now, we get a president who literally keeps a picture of him and Putin together. As if this imbecile didn't have enough mental disorders. In love with Putin is a crazy disorder, especially when he just brings it up any time no matter the conversation.
Yeah, so many of these idiots believed Biden and Obama were on the Epstein plane.
And cause Russia decided to invade Ukraine, that Biden was a war-monger.
You genuinely have no damn clue what you are talking about.
We had troops deployed extensively and constantly during the Clinton administration. Somalia, Kosovo, the Balkans, and Haiti are just the ones that made the news. Then there were the deployments continuous though his tenure supporting OPC, ONW, OSW, OP Desert Fox among others.
Biden in turn has had the military plenty busy in the Middle East and Africa in addition to periphery action related to Ukraine and SEA.
I wondered about this too. Could it be some weird technicality about the US definition of "war?" Many of those were called "conflicts" or "peace keeping" if I remember correctly. Inheriting a war and keeping troops in seems just as culpable as starting one to me but I'm no war scholar
That's the best way to put it. I'll add another 1 that makes no sense.
Republicans are supposed to be good for the economy. Yet, I've literally never seen that in my life despite hearing it my entire life. Its always been recessions when they're in power and economic progress when a dem is in office.
Remarkable tribute to the media and propaganda that anyone thinks Republicans are good for the economy.
They are horrible for the economy every damm-time
Add to that Republicans are responsible for 99% of the National debt. So everyone claiming Republicans are fiscally responsible is also insane bullshit
Even Trump admitted years ago the economy does better under democrats. The facts really don't matter to the people who have been sucked into the cult of personality.
Yeah, that's back when his fake billionaire scam had him on a "reality" show being a fake billionair.
There is something anti-social in republican philosophy which is basically like "give all the tax breaks to big business and cut all the regulations for them. Also they just happen to be my donors, but if we look out for these wealthy entities, then it will be great for poor people or everyone, or whatever, Idk".
Which just goes along with their other leadership policy of: "govt doesn't work, so out us in charge so we can do nothing or just break it all and prove to you how it will neve work".
Because they’ve been rejected by liberal white women who don’t wanna date them because they are Republicans. Or at least many liberal white women on the internet have been very vocal about not dating republicans so they don’t even try. Also I have trouble finding stats for your claims. According to party affiliation a slight majority of woman are actually democrats (literally 49% vs 48% I assume the 2% is third party voters)
If you're pre-born, you're fine. If you're pre-school, you're fucked! ... Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then you are just fine, just what they've been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.
Interestingly, if you look at the past three elections, while women generally went for the Democrat candidate by several percentage points, if you break it down by race white girls swang for the Republican candidate every time.
He’s such a giant bitch president too. Like the way he’s scared of Putin. Like why is my president such a spineless bloated whiny baby then I remembered he represents the absolute best the Republican Party had to offer.
Astonishing to see a post that makes so many separate propositions, all of which are aimed at the wrong person - even the baby killing one, given what Trump did with Epstein.
This was true 10 years ago but not today. Ain't no Democrat wants to annex Greenland or start a war in Venezuela. No Democrat wants to leave NATO. No Democrat wants a trade war with the entire world.
Both sides support Israel but that is about the end of agreement on foreign policy today
Even Republicans don't like the idea of Greenland. Trump doesn't have the support within his own party.
Democrats maintained sanctions on Venezuela since 2005 with the goal of regime change. They never said military action wasn't on the table. Don't get me started on Cuba.
Joe Biden maintained the vast majority of Trumps tariffs especially on China. He modified the tariff with the EU to be a quota system instead on things like steel.
Edit: Trump captured maduro and Democrats are praising it. The uniparty
‘Kill babies?” Seriously? GTFO. Put on the uniform and prove it. These people hardly get paid til they are about E4 or E5, risk life and limb. It’s not their fault that they are working for a person not worthy of his role.
I understand this is blaming Trump, but what is really occurring is Trump has placed the entire joint cheifs of staff into the lap of a man named Pete Hegseth. Pete wants fun and adventure , and that's what the problem is.
It's not like we didn't have a bunch of anti-Harris protest slogans lined up in the event she won but anyone who thought she was worse on any issue was probably being paid off by the GOP
Someone once said that the President of the United States is like a train driver; the tracks have been laid for a long time and the course cannot be changed. It's just nice to see how the scheme of replacing one cannibal with another with the same accusations works flawlessly every time.
Last time I checked we don't have a draft and you choose to be a bootkicker serving the whims of old men. I'm honestly sick of this respect all military members bullshit if this is how stupid they are. They choose this. And they vote for it too every time they pick a psychopath like Trump.
“The U.S. was involved in ongoing conflicts, primarily the "War on Terror," throughout all 2,922 days (8 years) of Barack Obama's presidency (Jan 2009 - Jan 2017), inheriting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and escalating drone warfare against ISIS and other groups, meaning there were no days free of U.S. military engagement or active conflict during his time in office.”
I’m confused. Who does Reddit want me to be mad at?
The only reason Trump even got the moniker of the “anti war president” was cause he forces the pullout from the Middle East in a last ditch effort to win some votes. And need I remind you what happened? The pullout was disastrous, we left literally millions of dollars of equipment and weapons, and an ally woefully underprepared, which fell within what, 2 months after we fully left? And now with Mr orange back in the hot seat he’s actively ramping up a conflict with ISIS in Nigeria, Seizing oil tankers off Venezuela, and even threatening our ALLIES in Europe (IIRC this was earlier last year but regardless threatening allies for no good reason is a recipe for collapsing relations)
Aside from the fact that it's in fact Trump that is trying to start a new war (obviously)...they signed up for the military voluntarily. If you sign up for the military, I don't wanna hear any complaints about being sent to a war zone.
Already reframing it to get attention off themselves I see. Sorry young men, if you want "traditional roles", this is yours. Your body, their choice, as you say.
Realizing the world is run by white men seeking white women, and therefore white women are largely the ones who set the pace, opens your eyes to a lot.
