The Wikipedia page says they killed about 1000-2000 civilians during 16 years of drone strikes. Is that what you mean then? And the real numbers are likely much higher.
It’s commonly used as a criticism of Obama to point out that his approval of drone strikes was significantly higher than any president before or since. This data point is a bit shaky however, because drone strikes weren’t nearly as prevalent during his predecessor’s terms as drones weren’t as technologically advanced as they were during his terms, and due to the fact that the Trump admin changed drone strike approval processes to no longer need presidential approval.
I never said that. He doesn’t have to be as bad as Trump to be sentenced at a hypothetical nurnberg like trial for his crimes against humanity. Biden, Trump and Obama all make the cut. It’s not about comparing these blood soaked monsters amongst each other. It’s about pointing out how weird it is to obsess about how wholesome his marriage supposedly is. Yes, the thousands of dead civilians from drone strikes are enough to condem him. Lybia alone would be enough too.
I always liked Obama. He was the best president America had in a long time. There has been so many awful presidents…
He’s a monster. A war criminal who would have been hanged at nurnberg with the other fascists. Same goes for Biden and Trump.
Still better than the other shitheads that country of the braindead chose to elect.
I have a hard time believing he is as bad as Trump. What did Obama do?
I bet this is going to involve the number of drone strike he authorized, so for some preemptive context: https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-countries-bombed-under-donald-trump-joe-biden-and-barack-obama-11273909 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_from_the_United_States_drone_strikes#Approvals_of_drone_strikes
