RE: Trump's escalations of troops+bombs+ops+killing — in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Niger, Yemen, Somalia, Iran, etc —

Info+data has been regularly reported over 2017-2021 — by @airwars and @TBIJ — as well as NYT & Intercept & WaPo — as well as AFRICOM and Pentagon, etc...
Much respect is due, to writers who actually pay attention to U.S. war-making — nat-sec policies & human consequences, across +/- 10 countries...

Trump's Wars — two takes:

— from a top journalist on geopolitics

— and a former congressperson

/
from Trump's Jan 2017 kill of Nawar al-Awlaki, 8

to Trump's Jan 2021 kill of Ahed Hani Al Toukan, 7

—best analysis (so far), finds structure AND agency—multi-president continuity AND decisive initiative from *Trump himself* to unleash interventionism & premature-death-delivery
