Ndi "nkhondo za Obama" Sindikutanthauza ana ena oposa pa TV akukalipira zipolopolo zamitundu yosiyanasiyana kapena akudziyesa kuti tsankho likutsutsana ndi Obama.
Ndikutanthauza: kuphana kosadziwika kwa anthu ndi mfuti - ambiri mwa ndege za robot - kumasulidwa kuopseza dziko lililonse losauka ndi loyera ndi Obama ndikulongosoledwa ndi Trump. Ine ndikutanthauza kuwonongeka kwakukulu kwa Libya - komabe anapitirizabe ndi Trump. Ndikutanthauza nkhondo ku Afghanistan, ambiri omwe ankayang'aniridwa ndi Obama, ngakhale Bush ndi Trump akhala ndi maudindo ang'onoang'ono. Ndikutanthauza kuti nkhondo ya Yemen, yoyambidwa ndi Obama ndipo ikukwera ndi Trump. Ndikutanthauza kuti nkhondo ya Iraq ndi Syria idakwera patsogolo ndi Obama ndipo kenako ndi Trump (pambuyo poyendetsa bwinja ndi Bush pomwe Obama adalimbana ndi dzino ndi ndodo).
Ndikutanthauza kukangana ndi Iran, komwe kwakhazikitsidwa ndi Obama ndikudodometsanso ndi Trump. Ndikutanthauza kuwonjezeka kwa magulu ndi mabungwe opambana nkhondo ku Africa ndi Asia. Ine ndikutanthauza kulenga kwa nkhondo yatsopano yozizira ndi Russia. Ndikutanthauza kumanga zida za nyukiliya ndi zida zonyansa za zida za nyukiliya. Ndikutanthauza chithandizo cha nkhondo za Israeli ku Palestina. Ndikutanthauza zida za ku Ukraine ndi Honduras. Ndikutanthauza kuopseza ku Venezuela. Ndikutanthauza kuimika kwa zifukwa zosangalatsa za zolakwa zazikulu. Ndikutanthauza ntchito yothandizira kuthetsa nkhondo, osathetsa aliyense wa iwo, komanso kukhalabe wosamala. Ndikutanthawuza kusokoneza kwanthawi zonse zolemba zam'mbuyo zogwiritsira ntchito ndalama.
Cholowa cha Obama, ngakhale chosiyana, ambiri mwa iwo, ndipo ngakhale kuti adagonjetsa Hillary Clinton pa bokosi lavotu, akhala akusungidwa, kutsogolo, ndikutsanzira bipartisan mgwirizano ndi Donald Trump.
Ngati mukufuna kubwereza zomwe Obama anachita m'deralo laling'ono la ntchito yake yomwe ena 60% a federal discretionary ndalama amadzipereka, ndipo zomwe zimatiika pangozi ya tsoka la nyukiliya, tengani buku la Jeremy Kuzmarov Obama Akugonjetsa Nkhondo Zosatha: Kutsogolere Malonda Akunja a Nkhondo Yamuyaya. Kuzmarov amaika Obama m'nkhani yakale ndipo akufotokozera kufanana kwake ndi Woodrow Wilson, woweruza wina wamphamvu kwambiri yemwe amadziwika kuti ndi wamasomphenya wamtendere. Kuzmarov ndemanga - ndipo akuwonjezera chidziwitso chomwe ambiri mwa ife mwina sitinadziwepo-nkhani ya Obama yakuuka mphamvu ndi nkhani ya nkhondo zake zambiri.
Timakonda kuiwala kuti kupyolera mu utsogoleri wa nkhondo George W. Bush ankaganiziridwa ngati zinthu zazing'ono zomwe zinali ndi mapeto. Tsopano iwo saganiziridwa konse nkomwe, koma iwo amamvetsedwa kukhala osatha. Ndipo iwo amaganiziridwa mu mawu amodzi. Nthaŵi zina timaiwala kuti Obama yemwe adakali payekha, ngati Trump, adalonjeza msilikali wamkulu. Wolemba Obama adalonjeza nkhondo yaikulu ku Afghanistan. Ndipo pakudza nthawi ya chisankho cha Obama ku nthawi yachiwiri, iye adafikira New York Times ndipo anapempha pepala kuti lilembe nkhani za momwe iye analiri wabwino pakupha anthu, momwe adasanthula mosamala mndandanda wa amuna, akazi, ndi ana ndipo adatenga iwo omwe dzina lawo adzatumiza zida zawo kumagulu a ozunzidwa omwe sadziwika. Kutsutsa kwa Obama, mkati mawu ake omwe, "Ndili bwino kupha anthu." Palibe yemwe adakonda Obama ndipo sanafune kupha adalola kuti adziŵe mbali iyi yachitukuko cha chisankho cha Obama; ndipo iwo sadzadziwa konse izo.
Chifukwa chake n'chakuti pa 20 Democrats tsopano akuyendetsa purezidenti, ena mwa iwo akulimbikitsa mtundu womwewo wa usilikali, ena mwa iwo akutsutsana nawo, ndipo ena mwa iwo awulula pang'ono kapena opanda kanthu pa malo awo nkhani. Mmodzi wa iwo, Joe Biden, anali mbali ya nkhondo za Obama. Biden ndi munthu yemwe adanena kuti kuphedwa kwa anthu ku Libya "Sitinataye moyo umodzi." Kamala Harris ndi mkazi yemwe sangayambe konse kukayika ngati "moyo" amatanthawuza "moyo wosakhala wa Africa." Ali wotanganidwa kwambiri akudandaula kuti mtendere ungatulukire ku Korea. Kupusa kwa chizindikiro cha chikhulupiliro chidzativutitsa mpaka tidzakhala ndi manyazi kuti tidagwa kale. Kupusa kwa nkhondo kumativutitsa mpaka tisiye kulemekeza ndi kukhululukira ndi kuyamba kuthandizira kuyesetsa kukhazikitsa mtendere.
