On the whole, Obama has tried to restrain the warmongers, yet he has given in to them frequently – not only by relying on weaponized drones, but also by waging covert wars in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and elsewhere. Nor did he truly end the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; he replaced troops on the ground with US drones, air strikes, and “private” contractors.
总体而言，奥巴马试图约束战争贩子，但常常屈服——不仅仅是武器化的无人机，也包括在叙利亚、利比亚、也门和其他地区发动隐蔽战争。他也没有真正结束美国在伊拉克和阿富汗的战争；他用美国无人机、空袭和“私人”承包商取代了地面部队。
