1st, I appreciate the fact the link you provided was basically condemning the policies and actions/inactions done during the Obama Administration. Points for that.
I will definitely add to that in saying Trump is a fucking moron because instead of using the "Build Big Wall, derrrr" funds for something actually productive, like taking out a ruthless dictator, Trump decided to "Build Big Wall, derrrr".
If I could go back in time and serve as POTUS during those years, 1)I would have preferred taking out the ruthless dictator, 2)followed by creating incentives in the forms of massive penalties upon any unwilling businesses, to move manufacturing out of China and to Honduras and Guatamala to help stabilize the economies there and provide the citizens the opportunity to have a much better, livable wage at a minimum, life. Any businesses not willing to do that would be penalized with heavy fines that went to those nations for them to develop their economy independently.
I am sure there would have been obstacles to a that. Namely all the anti-aggressive personalities like yours that do not want the US being involved in such situations and just let them play out on their own 3) instead of helping them in such situations and preventing the long term issues we see playing out today. The mistakes of the Obama and Trump Administration's will not likely be corrected by Biden's, so maybe in a few more years it will actually happen. One thing is nearly certain, it would require a Republican who is not afraid nor opposed to going into those regions and removing the problem using US forces as necessary.
If only the CIA had been greenlighted to take the problematic fuckers out long ago...but I am guessing you feel differently about what could have been done back in those days, being opposed to all actions of such nature...even though the long term evidence is displaying very plainly why it would have been a more optimal decision as it would have prevented what is happening today.
As for my food sourcing, I much prefer the food from my organic garden as opposed to the food from grocers, but I am limited in what I can grow unfortunately. I am partial to my white strawberries too.
