go back to sleep, joe...you're dreaming

To be fair, Bennett droning on would lull anyone to sleep. Sleepy Joe probably dreaming of Bibi.

both authorised by Joe Biden...the pause on the War On Terror during the Trump years was just that...a pause. At least there's no more mean tweets, tho'.

Err... Trump drone attacks??

all drone attacks are horrific, the vast majority evil, whether during a Trump admin or not.

But the US-backed drone attacks on Yemen/Somalia, as disgusting as they were, don't appear to have resulted in a West-involved escalation. The issues remain fairly localised to those regions. Out of sight, out of mind. Also of note is that Trump didn't personally authorise those strikes, he (controversially) ceded responsibility of them to the military. The few he did personally authorise were true military targets which de-escalated situations rather than escalate them (Soleimani, for example).

The attacks Biden has personally authorised is a lot more visible, has no coherent military target, and its effects will be felt by even us in the West for the next few years to come as we will see lots of refugees & migrants coming to Europe, as well as increased terror threats.

Embarrassing response this. Your point was how peaceful Trump was, and that the war on terror had paused while he was in power.

It’s been pointed out that it didn’t pause (via the drone strikes under his authority, and also don’t forget the MOAB in Afghanistan), and you’re now scratching around trying to justify those strikes - they were “out of sight”, he ceded responsibility, the ends justify the means.

The war on terror never stopped under Trump, him passing responsibility to the military rather than the White House, and stopping the reporting of causalities resulting from drone strikes does not equate to a pause.

How on Earth can you say there was “no coherent military target”? The one you criticised was (according to them anyway) aimed at a VBIED on route to attack the same target that a suicide bomber had attacked a few days previously.

There was way more military justification for that than almost any strike (including the ones on al-Awlaki or Sulemani) that has been widely reported.

Nice of Big Joe to gift the Taliban with $85b worth of arms and vehicles, what a nice guy.

I am. The Americans had full control of the airport. A bomb went off and troops then shot into the crowd. Meanwhile the British who were no where near the gate are now getting the blame. Biden has blamed everybody and his dog for his own failures, to now blame our troops is the final act of a delusional man who should be in medical care, trying to deflect away from his own incompetence. I’d rather that the UK allies itself with Russia and China than this madman in the whitehouse. Those of you who voted this cretin into power have a lot to answer for…..

Blimey. A few months ago you said you would rather be part of the US instead of the EU. Now its all in with Russia and China.
