Venezuela, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, and Somalia.

And on some level the United States could be on that list.

Dang, that matches Obama's score. Obama was simultaneously bombing Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, and Yemen.

I hate that our culture seems to really, really love a warmonger.

I mean, technically the US was at war under Obama so some of those can be somewhat excused.

Trump matching the number of countries while not being at war is probably a little worse.

Two of them.

Out of seven.

Agreed. Donald is 100% worse. I feel compelled to mention Obama because if he weren't unilaterally bombing countries on his kill list and getting away with it there wouldn't be a precedent that this is acceptable behavior for an American president. Donald didn't happen in a vacuum. He's just another rung up the fascist ladder constructed by his predecessors, reaching back to Nixon.
