🚨 BOMBS AWAY: OBAMA VS TRUMP - SAME WAR POWERS, DIFFERENT TARGETS

In 2016, Obama dropped 26,172 bombs across 7 nations - all without Congressional approval. That’s 3 bombs every hour, 24/7, for an entire year.

💣 Syria – 12,192

💣 Iraq – 12,095

💣 Libya – 496

💣 Yemen – 35

💣 Somalia – 14

💣 Pakistan – 3

💣 Afghanistan – 1,337

The strikes were justified under stretched post-9/11 authorizations, but Congress never voted on those campaigns.

Fast-forward to 2025:

Trump launches 36 bombs on Iran’s nuclear sites, bypassing Congress again - this time triggering international alarm and new questions about presidential war powers.

Same loophole.

Different decade

I think you’re forgetting about the operations in Yemen and your miscounting documented bombs from the weekend. There were more like 75 precision guided strikes. Let’s also not forget 2025 isn’t over yet. If you’re trying to spin that Trump isn’t as much of a warmonger as Obama, it’s a stretch. We would all be a lot better off without any politicians in our eyes.
