Trump bombed Iran in 2017 and it was when all of the left was screaming that we were about to go to war with Iran.
One of the biggest problems with the left is how they analyze everything in terms of foreign policy and imperialism like it’s still 2004. The war machine is not even close to full strength anymore. Anyone who has actually paid attention to American intervention and NATO in the middle east for the past 10 years can see where they have been getting their asses kicked in Afghanistan, and Syria was a major failure for them.
Ask neo-liberals what they dislike about Obama and they’ll bring up his foreign policy and what a failure he was to them with upholding the empire. Trump gets all this blame for mishandling the empire and all this BS about a decline, but it was happening before he came around. In 2014, Obama was heavy criticized for looking weak against Russia after they invaded Ukraine and did nothing about it, and Syria was considered a huge blunder for him too.
The US war machine has been declining for years. It didn’t just begin with Trump. The only difference is that the neo-cons around him were willing to defund NATO if it could make them a profit, cause that’s how they operate individually.
