    Unrestricted drone warfare is more an Obama critisicm than Biden. The only creepy Biden thing I remember was him sniffing women’s hair.

      Obama and Biden both had to approve drone strikes. It was the first Trump administration that got rid of that requirement.

      Not saying that this makes Obama or Biden better, but it seems like Trump was even worse.

        Yeah not saying Biden didn’t partake in drone warfare, but the civilian casualties from drone attacks were significantly reduced during his term as president. He only executed around a tenth as many drone attacks as done on Obama’s term. So it is not something that makes sense to criticise him specifically on, especially when there are definitely other things to criticise him on.

            No apologies here, if you want something to criticise Biden on that caused significant death focus on something like the shit job he did pulling the troops out of Afghanistan. Or his lack of action, like not expanding the supreme court which could have prevented a lot of the authoritarian bullshit the US is doing now. Your comment makes you sound like a US voter who didn’t vote for Kamala against Trump because “Kamala bad too”, and that kind of thinking is also another reason we are in the mess we are in now.
