    I know that Biden didn’t start any wars and also that even if he did, they weren’t in Somalia. Or Panama. Or Greenland. Or Canada.

    You’re really not good at being deceptive, so maybe you should stop trying.

      Trump did not start wars against Panama, Greenland, or Canada. You don’t get the facts right at all.

      Under Biden, the world is a mess. Multiple big wars started under his watch.

        I said he is threatening to start them. Read before you respond.

        Also, the president, despite what you and Trump think, is not the emperor of the world and cannot stop other countries from starting wars. Trump won’t be able to either if that’s what some other country decides to do. He doesn’t have magic powers like you seem to think he does.

            Which wars in specific were the “forever wars” that Biden started that Trump then stopped? Which countries did Biden invade with the military he controls? Name them.

              The wars that Trump is working to end, and on which he has made significant progress within less than one month of his inauguration, are the Israel-Hamas war and the Russia-Ukraine war.

                Neither of those were started by Biden. Why did you say they were?

                Also, what progress? Russia just drone bombed the Chernobyl concrete dome.

                  Started under Biden’s watch.

                  It’s quite a denial to claim that Trump didn’t make significant progress in stopping that war.

                    Okay the Trump is responsible for all of these wars and military conflicts since they happened under his watch:

                    I believe you described all of that as “very peaceful” earlier.

                    Looking forward to the explanation for how ISIS in Iraq isn’t Trump’s fault even though somehow it’s Biden’s fault that Russia invaded Ukraine.
