For #MemorialDay, here is short thread summarizing Biden's shameful legacy of sending soldiers to needlessly kill and be killed for US imperialism, oil, and arms profits. 1/

Biden openly admits to lying Congress and the public into supporting the illegal and disastrous invasion of Iraq. (Credit: @yo2bernie) 2/

Biden was instrumental in drumming up Democratic support for Bush's wars, even going so far as to claim he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for starting them. 3/

Biden was so brazen about his culpability in our nation's worst foreign policy decision in modern history, he bragged he would do it again.

Now that the Iraq War is unpopular, he simply lies about ever supporting it. 4/

Unsurprisingly, Biden is continuing to expand US warmongering in Iraq as President. 5/

Biden has missed multiple deadlines to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, dragging on the longest war in US history (19 years, 7 months and counting). 6/

Biden also claims he opposed the Vietnam War, yet he distanced himself from and denigrated the anti-war movement at the time. 7/

Biden's extreme hawkishness consistently puts him to the right of Republicans.

He demanded Bush Sr. invade Central and South America, and he called for Bush Jr. to invade Darfur, Sudan. 8/

As President, Biden continues to expand our bloated military budget and hire military industrial complex goons to wield it.

Biden will always ensure more US troops are sent to kill and be killed, and the blood spilled is on his hands. 9/
