    Since the Biden Administration arrived and the Trump Administration departed

    the number of wars has gone up a lot

    from one sleeper in Afghanistan and one Trump wanted us out of in Syria

    to a big war in Ukraine with over half a million dead now,
    and a slaughter of Palestinians, due to US weapons,

    a chance at getting a really big war with China, and
    the expectation of a war with Iran, and expansion of
    the war in Syria.

    Is Biden really doing his best to prevent wars,
    or to start wars?

    War is actually the biggest force in politics, possibly tied with technology,
    but war can also cause major demographic shifts and large financial
    shifts like Biden wanting everyone to leave the dollar, or is he taking
    counter-intuitive economics and doing the opposite of what he says.

    In total war, technology, demography and finance are all big factors.

    I recall Britain went bankrupt before ceasing to be a world superpower,
    due to spending everything in World War 1. Turning another Franco
    Prussian war into a world war by bringing in Britain and it's colonies.

    Have we learnt nothing from the history of Britain?

    Biden didn't start the war in Ukraine ...
    The Palestinian thing was started by missile attack by Hamas ... not with US weapons.
    Biden has lots of faults, but starting those two wars is not part of it.

    When Biden gave approval to the Sec of State H. Clinton, and she approved Victoria Nuland,
    Biden was Vice President, the Maidan uprising removed the elected government of Ukraine
    in Feb 2014 and started the troubles that after sending over large quantities of weapons
    in mid 2021, which were used on the civilian population of Donetsk, finally got Russia
    involved on Feb 24th 2022.

    Do you know how many 2,000 pound bombs the US gave to Israel?

    I think you are joking.
