I don't know what's worse: the fact that they thought doing another indefinite foreign occupation was a winning strategy, or that they felt such genuine kinship with the Trump administration that they felt they were doing them a kindness by not "boxing them in".

There's a version of this where Biden makes up a fake plan to invade Yemen right as he leaves office, then passes it on to Trump in the hope that Trump runs with it, takes all the credit, and publicly eats shit. It says a lot about Biden that there isn't the smallest part of me that wonders if that could be what happened.

Biden genuinely thinks occupying Afghanistan and Iraq were good decisions, and the only thing that stopped him from doing it again in the waning hours of his presidency was his genuine respect for Donald Trump's judgement.

Most lethal military on earth

I kinda doubt that they would have avoided any action to box in their successors. If anything, I suspect that the Syria takeover, the Ukraine escalation, and the attempted coup in South Korea were all attempts by the Biden administration to do that.

“I don’t want to force the hand of my political opponent to pursue my goals, that would not be very parliamentary of me” lmao

"Warmongers hesitant to monger war" would've been too on the nose.

getting into a war with Yemen with troops on the ground getting their private parts blown off for another 20 years by a heroic ansar'allah member is definitely the best course for the stock portfolios so it must be done

If an issue in America receives bipartisan support, you can bet it's awful.
