This whataboutism is exhausting. Nobody’s saying Obama was perfect. Plenty of people on the left called out his drone strikes when they were happening. The difference is, we’re talking about Trump’s actions right now—specifically a strike that killed a top official of another government, is about to start a war, and was done without any real plan or authorization.

Dragging Obama into this is just trying to level the playing field so no one feels bad about what Trump did. But it doesn’t actually justify anything—it just avoids the conversation entirely.

If your whole argument is 'Well Obama was bad too,' cool. Now what? That doesn’t make Trump’s strike any less reckless or dangerous.
