Regular Nobel Prize Recipient Barack "Blow up Doctors Without Borders" Obama: Amateurs

You imply that Obama had a direct hand in the decision. Instead, the US military fucked up, and Obama issued an apology.

That's a far cry from writing an article recommending the bombing of Palestinian radio stations.

Oh, right, the military made a little whoopsiedoo when they deliberately committed that war crime and stopped all investigations. We should blame the guy in charge of the military. Commander in Chief... Barack Obama?

I'm sure the families of the victims were moved by the apologies and the $6000.

The article has some really weird parts underlining somebody's anti-Russian and pro-Ukrainian while discussing Gaza/Israel -situation. It's like there's one larger eastern power killing indiscriminantly a smaller population west of them. And per article it's horrific when it's Gaza but somehow it's US and UK imperialism when Russians are killing/raping/pillagin in Ukraine.

I'd take the source with a grain of salt.

Neither of these conflicts are indiscriminate killings. Israel is deliberately targeting civilians and children. Russia is targeting military targets. It's not through pure chance that Israel has killed over a hundred times as many children.

What's more German than trying to achieve peace through genocide.
