Comment on Obama wasn't a hero; he just wasn't terrible
crusa187@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoIllegitimate wars fought for oil in Iraq and Afghanistan, with civilian casualties in the 100s of thousands. Let Russia take Crimea, arguably the initial precursor to today’s war in Ukraine, even though we promised them protection in exchange for giving up their nukes. Extra-judicial killing of American citizen via drone strike. He was peak lib and gave corpos everything they wanted and more, so of course the corpo media won’t point any of this out. Doesn’t change the fact that he committed grave crimes against humanity and our own citizens.
Would I rather have him back today instead of the orange dotard? Yeah. Doesn’t mean he was a good guy though, or good for Americans in general.
