He didn't set out to start any further wars that is correct, but he did continue to the airstrikes that started under Obama and Bidens administrationI agree completely, Trump seems to have been the exception.

That's probably exactly why they'd start a war with Iran. War distracts from making money to solve debt.The only saving grace is the US will be in too much debt after COVID to start a war with Iran. I think it would have 100% been on the agenda otherwise
I saw that too, a dreadful treatment of allies. Are you saying the US should have continued its operations in Syria?Was it?
The withdrawal from Syria resulted in the Kurdish Allies being discarded and many undocumented deaths. Plus the loss of influence in the area. There was always the suspicion that he was acting on the behest of Putin in such matters or at very best to try to keep Vlad "sweet". The source of his funding remains murky. I suspect that a lot of dirt will come out now that he no longer has any Presidential immunities or powers.
So he did authorise attacks on Syria. That's all I was asking.
Who are Airwars?
One thing you learn on here is never ask a question when the answer is not the one most want.He didn't set out to start any further wars that is correct, but he did continue to the airstrikes that started under Obama and Bidens administration

As I said, threatened to totally destroy a nation in a UN speech. I was just showing you the evidence you couldn't find.Iran threatens to destroy Israel every day.
I thought Trump met the leader of North Korea or was that a Facebook put up job?
So he threatened, but he didn't, this proved his mouth was dangerous.As I said, threatened to totally destroy a nation in a UN speech. I was just showing you the evidence you couldn't find.
No it proves he's a warmonger for which you couldn't find evidence.So he threatened, but he didn't, this proved his mouth was dangerous.
Therefore Joe Biden is a warmonger, as all US Presidents in my lifetime have beenNo it proves he's a warmonger for which you couldn't find evidence.
Warmonger - a person who encourages or advocates aggression towards other countries or groups.
Unlikely Trump would be the odd one out.Therefore Joe Biden is a warmonger, as all US Presidents in my lifetime have been
I think you are saying that his policy was benign.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-43767156
Trump was inept on the world stage.
He bombed targets in Syria as early as April 2017 in response to the use of chemical attacks but that was it - not followed up by any form of diplomatic efforts.
He hung the Kurds out to dry and turn a blind eye to Turkish aggression in their region.
He allowed Russia to put bounties on the heads of US soldiers in Afghanistan. Soldiers that are still there because he couldn't work a way out, nor even tried.
He turned a blind eye to the Saudi's murdering a US citizen in nigh-on broad daylight, ordered by their head of state.
He went against the word of his own intelligence services over Putin live on TV.
US pulled people or didn't replace people in posts in many major embassies which will now take the US years to replace all the lost local knowledge and back door communication that might otherwise prevent violence.
North Korea. When all is said and done what was achieved there other than some funny holiday snaps?
He 'took on the Chinese' but put his own people such as the farmers under ridiculous financial pressure.
He spent huge sums of money tooling up the US military
Hanging the Kurds out to dry is hardly benign.I think you are saying that his policy was benign.
You are saying that his policy should have been to attack Turkey?Hanging the Kurds out to dry is hardly benign.
His policy should have been not to withdraw the troops protecting the Kurds.You are saying that his policy should have been to attack Turkey?
So yes, take the battle to Turkey, who were attacking the Kurds.His policy should have been not to withdraw the troops protecting the Kurds.
