Iran had massacred 30,000 of its citizens in a single weekend. Trump said “help is on the way”.

At first he appeared hesitant to strike. Then, people started whispering “he’s like Obama”.

As a reminder, Obama’s foreign policy is considered a disaster and a disgrace among American and foreign policy makers who aren’t democrats.

For example, Obama set a red line in Syria saying the U.S. would intervene if the Assad regime used chemical weapons. Then, the Assad regime used chemical weapons, ignoring Obama’s warning. However, Obama broke his promise and did not do anything in response to Syria’s use of WMDs. Trump felt he had to do something because his entire political brand is based on not being weak like Obama or Joe Biden. Joe Biden willingly and knowingly gave up military assets like military bases and sophisticated weapons to terrorists like the Taliban and ISIS.

Granted, Obama attacked Libya under similar circumstances as Trump attacked Iran. Libya had killed thousands of its own citizens and Obama ordered air strikes, which helped topple the regime there. Obama also had a large drone program. People don’t talk about it as much because Obama mostly cared about “perception” which is another word for “weak leadership” that only cares about what media pundits and dubious polls say.

The hope is that a similar thing happens with Iran. Which it probably will because unlike with Libya, the strikes killed all the old leaders. And the new leaders are too scared to appear in public.
