Bush ran on avoiding foreign interventionism, and invaded. Obama ran on reducing involvement in the Middle East, then increased involvement. Trump ran on being an “outsider,” distancing himself from the establishment in both parties who had conducted the war, then he continued the war.
When did Americans ever have the opportunity to choose anyone different? For 20 years, we were never given a choice. Because when the ruling class really wants something, it gets it. Because the US is not a democracy.
Not to mention Obamas involvement in Libya, Kony 2012 or the “Arab Spring” and all the lovely interventions that brought us. Or “combat ready males” instead of “14-year old boy”. Or the continuance of Bushs surge and then later on the excuse of ISIS.
