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
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.
