As we have seen so many times, most recently with President Biden’s attack on Iranian-backed militias in Northern Syria, a change in American leadership doesn’t necessarily mean a change in American foreign policy: perpetual war.
20 years after the War on Terror began, we have accepted that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan only represent the start of a much larger strategy. To make our continued action even more alarming, think about the near-complete lack of support our military actions receive from the general public.
Worse than that, our last two chief executives held the public’s opinion before office.
Dipping his toe in the water of politics back in 2013, Donald Trump produced a volume of tweets outlining his opposition and disgust over then-President Obama’s bombing of Syrian government forces. 4 years later, the roles would be reversed, with Trump dropping bombs and Joe Biden accusing the administration of going against the Constitution.
