The Peace President gave Syria his non-interventionist mindset good and hard
By 
Donald Trump, enemy of the Deep State and American imperialism:
In the last days of the battle against the Islamic State in Syria, when members of the once-fierce caliphate were cornered in a dirt field next to a town called Baghuz, a U.S. military drone circled high overhead, hunting for military targets. But it saw only a large crowd of women and children huddled against a river bank.
Without warning, an American F-15E attack jet streaked across the drone’s high-definition field of vision and dropped a 500-pound bomb on the crowd, swallowing it in a shuddering blast. As the smoke cleared, a few people stumbled away in search of cover. Then a jet tracking them dropped one 2,000-pound bomb, then another, killing most of the survivors.
It was March 18, 2019. At the U.S. military’s busy Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, uniformed personnel watching the live drone footage looked on in stunned disbelief, according to one officer who was there.
“Who dropped that?” a confused analyst typed on a secure chat system being used by those monitoring the drone, two people who reviewed the chat log recalled. Another responded, “We just dropped on 50 women and children.”
In addition to being highly representative of Trump’s military policy, this little bit of murder is also an excellent illustration that there is not in fact any material moral distinction between bombings done by manned and unmanned aircraft. The focus on DRONES as opposed to bombings per se was just an arbitrary distinction invented by people who wanted to pretend that Obama was worse than Bush, and since Trump is worse on that metric than Obama and MUCH worse than Biden, it’s outlived its narrow rhetorical usefulness. (Hence the equally morally irrelevant “Trump didn’t start any NEW wars he merely sadistically escalated existing ones” metric, as parodied by Twitter’s greatest account.)
Yet another shameful act by the neocon Biden administration- one of the most militaristic in history. Say what you will about Trump, but he started ZERO new wars and his non-interventionist mindset would never allow him to do this. Yet again, Dem partisans will ignore this story. https://t.co/w5CgokxhGC— GLEM #FreeKyle (@GlemGreenwald) November 13, 2021
