You realize Obama didn’t start any wars and spent 8 years trying to close Pandora’s box?
In fact, even Obama seems to agree: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36013703
Obama:
* Started a military campaign in Syria.
* Supported diplomatically and militarily, and armed, Saudi Arabia in its genocidal war on Yemen.
* Supported diplomatically and militarily, and armed, Saudi Arabia in its occupation of Bahrain.
* Supported diplomatically and militarily, and armed, Israel in three military campaigns in Gaza.
* Started military intervention in Somalia.
* Started involvement in hostilities in Uganda.
Now, you could argue that only two or three of these count as "starting a war", but still.
> spent 8 years trying to close Pandora’s box?
More like 8 years keeping them open, or prying them open (e.g. vis-a-vis China).
But there's one notable exception: Iran. Even though he bears responsibility for illegal and unjustified sanctions, the JCPOA agreement was a tolerable compromise all around.
Obama has been at war longer than any president in the history of the country.
That's the wiki summary anyway, which doesn't directly implicate the US or any particular president.
That said, general unrest in the middle-east can be attributed to meddling from the US that has been going on for decades, from the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, the US funding the Afghans during the Soviet/Afghan war, to the first and second gulf war, the Saudis, etc.
While I don't like Obama's policy when it came to the conflicts down there, he inherited it from decades of policy.
