    Obama was pretty bad on the war front.

    • Obama killed US citizens without a trial in foreign countries.
    • Continued and escalated drone strikes.
    • Violated the war powers act with respect to Libya.
    • Egypt coup + Bengazi was a massive failure.
    • Created power vacuum for isis to rise.
    • conducted military operations in foreign countries without their knowledge or consent.

      Last I checked, before 2012 Egypt used to be under control of the very hostile and brutal Muslim Brotherhood and massive protests rocked the country since before Obama was even in power. To give you an idea of how bad the Muslim Brotherhood is, they literally founded Hamas across the border. Idk why everybody in this thread attributes literally everything that happened during the Arab Spring to the Obama Administration. News flash, those countries existed before Obama was president.
