Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president?
subverted_per@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 hours agoBush 2 was a failson who was largely well intentioned, but also had no idea what his dad’s friends were doing in his cabinet. His second term he started taking a more proactive role when he realized how he was responsible for a lot of the fuckery going on around him. At the same time, Iraq was all his baby. I don’t say this to absolve him of anything, he was a shit president, but he was about as shitty as any other nepobaby that managed to fail into high office.

Iran is probably going to make Iraq look like child's play.
America is now at a crossroads of bad choices: we either surrender and retreat (further entrenching anti-American power in the region for decades to come), or we commit harder to winning by putting boots on the ground (beginning what will be a long and bloody war for no reason).
Trump may think there's an easy out on Iran, but when our best option is surrender it's already a shit show.
