Just watched the Boy Boy video on George Bush’s Masterclass, and they made me think about which U.S. President was actually worse.

Bush may have started devastating wars that lasted for decades, but I blame Trump for the war in Ukraine. There have been no worse war since WWII. And it may have been prevented if Ukraine would've received the military assistance during his Presidency they were asking for before Russia invaded.

Ukraine. There have been no worse war since WWII.

17,000 civilian deaths in Ukraine vs 280,000 in Iraq. What is your definition of "worse"?

Russia invaded in 2014
