Under George Bush 630 there wereAmericans casualties in Afghanistan.
Under Obama/Biden 1758 there were Americans casualties in Afghanistan
Under Trump 63 there were Americans casualties in Afghanistan double that to account for Trump only being in office for 4 years vs 8 years for Biden and we get 126
While it's true that the numbers were way down by the end of Obama's reign Trump hasn't triggered any new conflicts.
Instead of overthrowing the government of Libya and creating a new terrorist haven and turning Syria over to Russia like Biden did Trump has gotten multiple Muslim countries to sign treaties with or normalize relations with Israel, reduced Iranian terrorism, and crushed ISIS without creating a new forever war.
Meanwhile Joe and Democrats are itching to get us into more conflicts overseas.
When Turkey said it was going to create a buffer zone in Syria Democrats demanded that the US stop them essentially calling for a war with Turkey which is a NATO ally of ours. Trump demurred and it turned out that there was no mass slaughter of Kurds in part because Trump made it clear to Turkey that that would be a red line and the Turks know that unlike Obama when Trump says there's a red line it means there will be consequences for crossing it.
Currently Armenia and Azerbaijan are fighting a war. Joe Biden has called for us to get more involved but Trump is rightly restricting our role to diplomacy. What's happening there isn't nice but unlike establishment people Trump realizes that American lives shouldn't be sacrificed for every random conflict on the planet.
What makes Joe's enthusiasm about new wars odd is that he told Obama not to stage the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden and he condemned Trump for killing Iranian terrorist mastermind Soleimani.
Both those men had the blood of Americans on their hands, unlike the Armenians and the Azerbaijanies, but Joe didn't want them killed.
It almost would make one wonder whose side Joe is on.
