Don't forget the migration of so-called neoconservatives like Bill Kristol from R to D. That the Ds are now the pro-war faction is pretty remarkable given the history of the 20th-century.

Let’s see...which party got us into WW1, WW2, and Vietnam. A faction within the Republican Party has returned to its isolationist roots. The war mongering party has historically been the democrats.

Don’t forget the four years of Afghanistan we got under Trump, or his assassination of Qasem Soleimani, the drone strikes in Iran and other places we do know about, and the ones we are no longer allowed to know about

He drew down troops in Afghanistan throughout his term and set up a timetable for full withdrawal. He stood down the generals promising disaster if he didn’t start a war with Syria or Iran. They had to commit treason and lie to him about troop levels in Syria, otherwise we would have completely withdrawn there. Why do you think they committed a soft coup in 2016 with the Russia nonsense and unleashed a full scale propaganda war by embedding themselves in all the social media platforms before the 2020 election? You need to give some credit to the one non-deep state president we’ve had in our lifetimes.

Hrothgar was sucked in by the lies and is still buried in them.
