Operation Popeye (washing away entire villages in Vietnam), Operation Phoenix (assassinating South Vietnamese leaders), Operation Condor (toppling a fuckton of democratically elected South American regimes and replacing them with fascist dictators), expanding the Vietnam War into Cambodia and Laos (leading to Pol Pot and his genocide), selling weapons to Yahya Khan to commit genocide in Bangladesh, among others.

I dont think thats more than WWII though. And if were talking about connections then Hitler and Stalin are also partly responsible for each other

I just realized that Trump is 1 of 2 Republican Presidents in the last 60 or so years to be elected without using extremely underhanded tactics, and HW Bush is certainly no saint. He had a sprawling list of war crimes, did tons of shady shit for the CIA, was involved in pretty much every Republican scandal since Eisenhower got into office, helped undermine the 2000 election, and was a beneficiary from Nazi slave labor. Trump is arguably the least integrally compromised Republican President for over hald a century.


He's completely warped out Democratic-Republic and has allowed foreign power to interfer in our elections for his own personal gain. He sold out the kurds to win favor with dictators, and with held aid from allies to try and force them to investigate a political enemy.

Nixon was the first clear modern example of how little checks we have on a President run amok. At least Republicans had a conscience back then and would have impeached him.

They were only getting ready to impeach because the public was beginning to sway and the evidence too insurmountable to just hand wave away. They would have protected him if they could.
