Honestly I dont think the president has that much to decide when it comes to military actions. What he does is announce the decisions of the military (or in other words, he is "following their recommendations"). Biden cant even remember the name of the Australian president after "being in talks" with him for weeks. His whole job seems to be reading from teleprompters (or trying to recite a speech, and stumbling).

Fair point. The warlords and ultra rich run the show. The president is honestly more of a figure head than people realize. Though my point is that Trump is still as big a war criminal than Obama all things considered, as are the rest of the US military leadership.
