    Since Ronny and Poppy are already (thankfully) long ded, that leaves Bill as the new “oldest” prez at 78

    (The actual oldest is Biden who’s 82 and will be nearly 30 years older than Clinton was when the latter left office)

      He armed Indonesia during their genocide against East Timor.

      https://web.archive.org/web/20170226181104/https://www.worldpolicy.org/projects/arms/reports/indoarms.html

      Unfortunately, despite its professions of support for human rights in Indonesia, the Carter Administration picked up where Kissinger and Ford had left off. As Noam Chomsky writes in the preface to Matthew Jardine’s 1995 book, East Timor: Genocide in Paradise, “In 1977, Indonesia found itself short of weapons, an indication of the scale of its attack. The Carter administration accelerated the arms flow.”[7] U.S. arms sales hit $112 million in 1978, and averaged nearly $60 million per year for the four years of the Carter administration – this was more than twice the level of weaponry supplied to the Suharto regime by the Ford Administration.

      Reagan and the wave of conservative world leaders in the 80s made it the new status quo, but Jimmy Carter is often credited as the first neoliberal president and the starting point of neoliberalism in the US.

          iirc, he tried to rescue them by sending in special forces, only for them to crash a helicopter into a C-130 after landing Iran, and then they had to abort

              It was actually this mission that led the army to want an aircraft with the endurance of an airplane and the vtol capabilities of a helicopter, which in turn started development of the osprey

          They flew 2 helicopters across the whole country wish casting that it wouldn’t get shot down.

          He also didn’t manage to offer a good deal to the Iranians, instead Reagan managed to make a secret deal that makes Reagan look like the one who actually solve the crisis once he got into office

        He knew what was happening in Cambodia, too. He said something along the lines of “Pol Pot is bad, but a necessary evil to stop Vietnam’s communism from spreading.”

        I don’t know what’s worse than children being euthanized because they need glasses or teachers/professors getting public executions for being teachers/professors. And AFAIK, it’s the largest killing in history based on population. Something like 25% of Cambodians were killed by the Khmer Rouge.

    Jimmy Carter exiting with grace at the last chance to have a state funeral with dignity.

    -–

    Edit

    I muted “Carter” at Bluesky but there’s a sea of this shit.

    Upon a former President’s death, the flag should be flown at half-mast for 30 days. I’m going to bet even-money that Trump refuses to honor this after his inauguration.
