Unpopular Democratic Presidents initiating wars? I guess you could argue Kennedy and Obama were unpopular at bit of a stretch.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't make any such claim regarding popularity, first we'd have to agree on what qualifies as "unpopular".

Re wars, again, first let's establish do you mean "declared by congress war" like the official USA propaganda line, or do you believe military strikes are also war (or even acts of war)? What about assassination?

With "acts of war" Democratic presidents routinely commit acts of war along with Republicans, how far can we go back?

if "declared war" is your line, then we haven't been in a "real war" since Korea, so we've been "war free" since 1950s. I think that's silly personally.

The whole thread is about unpopular presidents starting wars, you want to change the frame of the discussion you need to specify that.

And I wasn't responding to OP, OP doesn't dictate all discussion that follows. I was responding to another claim within the thread, one regarding "Republicans" without the "unpopular" tag. Thank you

I stand corrected.
