Democrats were never the lesser evil, I'm also not American but it doesn't even take more than a simple look to understand this
Bush 1 Iraq war
Clinton Yugoslavia
Bush 2 Iraq-Afghanistan
Obama- More Afghanistan, drone campaign, Syria etc
Trump - Syria, almost Iran, China
Biden - Russia, Palestine
If you want to add Bernie - anti-Cuban statements, pro-Israel statements, pro-Ukraine statements etc. Fucking loser is just another FP ghoul too.
Meanwhile economically and socially the US continues to deteriorate since the beginning of the current neoliberal era(late 80s-90s) as you noticed and maybe Bernie gets a honorable mention for being just a bump on the steep downhill road, nothing more.
Heck we noticed and commented some time now since the beginning of the Ukraine war that current FP is in some ways even more deranged than even what Kissinger would do. Indeed some would even say current policy makes Kissinger look competent in comparison. That's how bad it is. And to be honest some argument does mention that Kissinger was from an era where the US actualy somewhat respected their peer adversaries, these days its all end of history BS.
Biden was much more a hawk on China than Trump. Trump talked shit, Biden drastically escalated the trade war.
Deep state counter-revolution against Trump's anti-fed program
I'm not praising Trump, if you somehow don't understand that. Trump is just too much of an arrogant moron who acts with little direction beyond merely saying things that appeal to his base and sometimes calling for such-and-such person to be killed.
he also campaigned as such - I will be tougher on china was a focus of his campaign in summer 2020
good post, I'd also add Palestine '08 and '14 under Obama where Israel committed a lot of the same crimes as today, and Obama gave them his full unconditional support and said they have a right to defend themself.
reminds me of Labour, where Corbyn was really only an a strange anomaly. Stürmer's the real continuation of Labour - saying cutting off water, food, fuel to Gaza is cool and good (human rights lawyer btw).
the Kissinger era ghouls seemed to have a strategy they were following. I have no clue what the US is doing now. they're rapidly getting rid of any credibility they had, alienating allies in the area, etc. the empire is deteriorating fast.
Don't forget Libya!
