Please don't fall into the trap of blaming this all on Trump and not recognizing how many other people have laid the ground work for this to happen. The unilateral action, the assumptions about what the US should be doing and what other nations are doing. It shouldn't have been possible for a president to do this. But it was. Why is that?Trump is responsible for pressing the button but he didn't build the ugly machine.

And I'm hearing the whole "consent machine" cranking back to life. "Oh we think he did it the wrong way, but maybe it'd be OK if he asked congress." NO."Now that the US is in a war it would be unpatriotic not to support it, even if you don't agree with how it started." NO.Just no.This was illegal. But more important than being illegal it's wrong and a bad idea.Pull the breaks now. Do nothing more. Maybe in YEARS we might get back what was destroyed.

@futurebird Every US President since Raygun has ordered “strategic military strikes.” I’m not saying blame Carter, but he did announce the intention of the US to defend its interests in the Persian Gulf region. 🤷🏼♂️

@futurebird yes. He is a puppet, easily manipulated. Maybe the easiest world leader there ever was to manipulate. The evil villains controlling him have figured out how to get it done, and they’re also more vulnerable.

@futurebirdNo disagreement in the slightest. Unfort I find many of the people I know are on the other end of binary thinking, blaming everything on the system. Declaring that the ones currently running (& further shaping) it do not matter.Sure, they’ll begrudgingly admit that the Biden admin stopped drone strikes & withdrew from Afghanistan. But still, somehow, it was all the same whomever we elect. There is no disproving that, so they continue to await the glorious revolution 😑

@futurebird also it's easier to get back what was destroyed if there are actual amends made, not just "haha we made an oopsie we guess 😅 maybe won't happen next time"... but even that "haha" seems to be an unreachable dream

@futurebird My country right or wrong is always the worst take.
