We've already seen koods and many other criticize Trump for wanting to end our foreign wars, proving the point.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

When would you say it was least cool before this coolness revival?
My feeling is that a major "cool again" event was the Gulf War under Bush Sr.

LOL. Nowhere in that article does it say “War is cool again now that Joe Biden is president, at least if you're a Democrat.“. Why do you have to make stuff up? So, the Bush admin creates a CIA program, ostensibly to help promote positive sentiment for wars on terror by populations domestic and abroad, which is passed to Obama and then trump says some things on tv. Now, trump is kicked out of office by US voters and it’s all because war is cool. Sure.

Again, the CIA wanted to use Obama to make the public supportive of endless war. They didn't actually use the word "cool", but if the public is supportive of war that means they're cool with it.

What does the CIAs intent with Obama have to do with war being cool if you’re a democrat now that Biden is president? You’re making shit up.

Did the CIA want any other presidents to do the same I wonder? Seems like endless war has been the norm for quite some time.

It's the story that got posted. The CIA wanted to make the public supportive of (cool with) endless war. They clearly succeeded.
If you don't like the word "cool" then just substitute "supportive".

I don't know. They only talked about Obama in the CIA's Red Cell report.

You’re still not showing how war is cool/supported if you’re a democrat now that Biden is president. You’re making baseless accusations. Why? Continuing to point to the article doesn’t support your claim.

Ok, I should have said war was cool/supported by Democrats while Obama was in office. I assumed that it will be supported again once Biden becomes president, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Note also the subtle wordplay:
War is cool >>> cool with war >>> supportive of war
War being a 'fashionable positive' transforms into 'dispassionate acceptance' of war; and then FW uses this new definition to deflect the initial criticism: "If you don't like the word "cool" then just substitute "supportive".

I don't think being supportive of war is a 'dispassionate acceptance'. I've had many debates with people passionately attacking Trump for wanting to get us out of war.

Trump has chosen to keep the war going for his entire time in office. If he wanted to end the war, he would have.

He got huge support every time he suggested he was going to stop the wars, yet he didn't do it. Did you ever think that a former TV reality star with ZERO geopolitical military experience isn't allowed to make those big decisions?

People were hiding things from Trump as well:
Outgoing Syria Envoy Admits Hiding US Troop Numbers; Praises Trump’s Mideast Record
Quote:
“We were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there,” Jeffrey said in an interview. The actual number of troops in northeast Syria is “a lot more than” the roughly two hundred troops Trump initially agreed to leave there in 2019.

Pretty sure saying "I don't know who/what X is, so I can't say if I support X" is not "disavowing" anything. All you gotta do is look at the guy- racist policies, racist views, and a racist cabinet- The guy's a fucking racist!

This is true of every elected official. They’re the nice gloss that gets put on the empire.

Absolutely. It's just interesting that the CIA felt Obama was so important in turning public opinion around that they wrote a memo about how they needed him to do this.
