Yeah the democrats would have done this too. Did everyone else forget Harris’ “most lethal military in the world” comment? War mongering is a requirement for being an American politician. Its what their sponsors demand. Democrats called Trump weak for not doing enough war.
This is the Democratiic parties election platform 2024 (see P82/P83):
Through aggressive diplomacy backed by U.S. military power, the Administration has worked alongside our allies and partners to deter and defend against Iran and its terrorist surrogates. President Biden has postured U.S. military forces in the region and authorized precision airstrikes on key Iranian-linked targets tied to attacks against U.S. troops to deter further aggression by Iran. President Biden has also continued to protect the American people from terrorism, authorizing military strikes that took out ISIS emirs and the leader of Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri. In response to brazen attacks by Iranian-linked Houthi forces against international commercial shipping, U.S. naval vessels in the Red Sea, and Israel, President Biden ordered military strikes, alongside key allies, against Houthi targets and organized Operation Prosperity Guardian, a coalition of more than 20 nations committed to defending international shipping and deterring Houthi attacks.
When Iran launched more than 300 missiles and drones against Israel in April 2024, President Biden led an unprecedented defensive coalition – together with partners from Europe and across the Middle East – to defeat the attack, protect Israel, and stop the spread of a wider war. Through direct defensive action by the U.S. military and its partners, Iranian munitions did not cause significant damage, demonstrating both America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel and our unrivaled ability to leverage growing regional integration among U.S. partners to counter Iranian aggression.
All of this stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s fecklessness and weakness in the face of Iranian aggression during his presidency. In 2018, when Iranian-backed militias repeatedly attacked the U.S. consulate in Basra, Iraq Trump’s only response was to close our diplomatic facility.
They are literally calling Trump “weak” for not engaging militarily enough. There is no indication the DNC would not have bombed Iran after Israel initiated the war of aggression. Senior democrats like senate leader Chuck Schumer praised Israels “self defense” ffs.
Have a sad sad upvote.
Yeah, this goes beyond Trump/Biden. Bombing brown people in the Middle East is an all-American tradition.
It’s not right, of course, but it’ll take more than just a party change to solve that problem.
I will say at least when democrats do it, it’s usually with prior authorization from congress. Doesn’t make the result better but it does at least mean they’re following the legal framework that provides us the way to change it. When it’s done without that you just have a dictator.
“Imagine how much worse it would have been if it was Biden?”
— MAGA idiots
Has Pepperidge Farm guy always been holding a bag of Milanos?
I hate that talking point so much. We’d better let the Russians do whatever they want, otherwise WW3. WW3, you guys. Literally WW3.
I actually don’t remember them doing this. And a quick search shows me Joe Biden Is Risking World War III, Former Clinton Adviser Warns about intervening between Iran and Israel (but I don’t know that the former Clinton advisor is a MAGA republican), and Ukraine, NATO Allies Urge Joe Biden to Drop ‘World War III’ Red Line about how Biden was saying that sending troops to Ukraine would start WWIII, which again wasn’t from republicans.
Trump camp accuses Biden of trying to start World War 3 before he takes office

I think this is what the meme references.
Every accusation is a confession. The GOP warhawks have been salivating over this for over a decade. Hell, McCain was probably the last Republican in office who realized the global implications of where they were heading, and he tried to act accordingly. Too bad cancer cut that short…
And yet some are blissfully cancer free
