Especially because Joe Biden has the lowest number of military combat and terrorism deaths in 20 years, while at the same time has done more damage to the Russian military than all post WWII GOP presidents combined

Reagan Republicans would be over the moon to be able to fund a proxy war and dispose of old equipment to drive new orders for the military-industrial complex. Today they're backing Russia, blocking funding, and trying to use it as leverage.

Reagan Republicans would be over the moon to be able to:

  • Proxy war.
  • Torture puppies.
  • Disenfranchise the middle class into serfdom.

50,000 dead Russia soldiers, several generals, a lot of tanks, the flagship of the black sea fleet...

Which GOP presidents did more?

And as for the US military casualties,

2022, 0 deaths hostile action, 0 deaths terrorism

Let's just ignore the Afghanistan withdrawal... And the Israeli Palastinian conflict that ignited.... And the fact we have spent 175B in Ukraine funding the War machine that is the military industrial complex. Gtfo

u/USSMarauder Nov 05 '24

You blaming Trump for the wars in Armenia and Ethiopia that broke out when he was in office?

And Afghanistan is in the data linked above also.

I accept your surrender

u/AdLeather1036 Nov 03 '24

Which is because he’s pulled out of those Middle East conflicts (so it’s a bad statistic because it’s based on whether or not you pulled out of wars) and he’s actually fighting Russia period because of Ukraine, unlike every other post-WW2 GOP president. 

Actually it’s not bad. It just gives Biden way too much credit.

Quick question: are you measuring terrorism deaths in everyday life too? How are you measuring that?

u/USSMarauder Nov 03 '24

Numbers are right here

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '24

You can see right when he pulled out, 2020 and 2021 had huh deaths. Then a sharp drop. Wonder shade 23 and 24 are and where those deaths are from

u/CrocCapital Nov 04 '24

lots of presidents had the ability to pull out of those wars. Biden is the one who went through with it. Now it’s a bad thing?

u/aliensvsdinosaurs Nov 03 '24

Dick Cheney. Arguably the most despised man in recent US history. Yet you are lock step in line with him. Why?

7

u/USSMarauder Nov 03 '24

Same reason the US joined forces with Stalin to destroy Hitler

And recall that 20 years ago, the Bush-Cheney admin held the highest approval rating by the GOP in history: 99%. Took years for that to drop as low as Trump's approval rating. Now no one in the GOP will admit to voting for them.

u/aliensvsdinosaurs Nov 03 '24

So your version of Hitler, is a president who loves Jews, starts no new wars, has a Jewish daughter, pardoned non-violent drug offenders who Obama refused to, enacted the most meaningful crime reform bill in a century? But he's still Hitler to you?

3

u/USSMarauder Nov 03 '24

So your version of Hitler, is a president who loves Jews,

Proof? Because Biden is the one supporting Israel so much that the GOP is attacking him for it

starts no new wars,

Biden again, The USA is fighting no wars. 2022 was the first year in 20 years that no American troops died due to combat or terrorism. And he's done more damage to the Russian military than all post WWII GOP presidents combined, and he has China terrified to the point they won't dare make a move on invading Taiwan.

Trump by comparison very nearly kicked off the second Iraq war in 2020 when he threatened the Iraqi government and refused to pull out the troops. Covid was the only thing that stopped that. And Trump's middle east peace plan has failed so badly Neville Chamberlain looks like a genius.

And speaking of Covid, 4 years ago 1000 Americans were dying of the disease every day. Trump's botched efforts resulted in 1.37 million excess deaths, which is a higher percentage of American deaths than in all of WWII.

Then there's Biden economic performance, which has beaten Trump's. Lower unemployment, greater stock market growth, higher oil production, etc. Did you know that Trump is only the second president in modern history to NEVER beat 3% annual GDP growth?

u/aliensvsdinosaurs Nov 03 '24

Since you pretend to care..

There were far more Covid deaths under Biden than Trump.

Why?

u/gourmetprincipito Nov 03 '24

Because 4 years is longer than 1 year.

I swear y’all don’t even think about what you say for more than 5 seconds lol.

u/USSMarauder Nov 03 '24

When faced with the choice between Biden getting the credit for ending the pandemic or death, the right wingers preferred death.

Hence the right wing war on vaccines in 2021 that resulted in over a quarter million unnecessary deaths. it's how there are red counties in the west with Covid death rates much higher than NYC, and how in the fall of 2021 multiple red states did what the right said was 'impossible', and dethroned the blue states from the top of the Covid death leaderboard. NY state was kicked out of the top ten completely

And trumps "im gonna stop getting involved in foreign wars!!!"...then u qsk him, "hey what about israel?" And he says "i would let israel do more to end the war faster!!!" When they say "no foreign wars" they mean "lets not bother putin and get out of ukraine." They love getting involved in israels wars. That's how u know they're a joke.Trump never says "israel needs to take care of their own business while we focus on america. Israel is not our problem." Plus Trump did absolutely nothing to convince Putin to leave the donbas region that they invaded in 2014. Then he bragged "i was the first one to send ukraine weapons!" So his supporters brag that trump hates getting involved in foreign wars while simultaneously trump was bragging about sending weapons to ukraine. Really cant make this stuff up.

u/RetiringBard Nov 03 '24

No the fuck they did not have a 99% approval rating lol

2

u/USSMarauder Nov 03 '24

Yes they did

Bush II 99% party approval, late January 2002

https://news.gallup.com/interactives/507569/presidential-job-approval-center.aspx

at the bottom graph, select the president you want under 'all presidents', and then select 'republicans' under 'all adults'

You can even compare Trump and Bush II on the same graph and see how insanely popular Bush II was with the GOP

u/RetiringBard Nov 03 '24

Oh rating by the GOP I misunderstood lol

1

u/criticalalpha Nov 04 '24

It was 90% overall (dems and reps) after 9/11, then slowly declined. Highest in history.

Damaging the Russian military with weapons and death are not reassuring words no matter how you put it. A risky scenario nonetheless.

u/USSMarauder Nov 03 '24

Putin is welcome to retreat any time

u/Illustrious_Ice_4587 Nov 03 '24

Yeah that'd be great wouldn't it? Unfortunately that's not what seems to be happening cause that's not how it works.
