        Yeah if you think Kamala wouldn’t have done something like this, you’d be wrong

        Sure she probably wouldn’t have actually kidnapped Maduro (more likely she’d have killed him outright) and wouldn’t do it literally at the start of the year or have openly said she wants to steal the oil but what she would have done is wrap this imperialism in humanitarian language to make it more palatable to libs like you and she would have launched the operation in late spring or early summer to maximize the possibility of a military win making her and the party look strong in the midterms

          I remember when she said: “I will ensure that America has the strongest, most lethal fighting force.” The crowd went fucking wild. The only reason you’d say such a thing is if you’re planning on doing lots of military adventurism.

          Considering she called Iran the greatest adversary of the US, it’s highly likely she would’ve gone all in on bombing and invading them, and the libs would’ve cheered her on and called her a girlboss for having the courage to stand up to bAd CoUnTrY. Shit would’ve been insufferable.

            Hillary said in 2016 that if she were elected there would be US boots on the ground in Iran, she was basically promising to start new wars and the Dems still called her the most qualified candidate in history

          Sadly there are tons who are totally okay with her doing the same thing, as long as it was in the middle east.

          Hell even fetterman is using lines from her in positive response to trumps attack
