Obama to Trump: He started an unnecessary war

Former US President Barack Obama stated that US President Donald Trump "started an unnecessary war that no one wanted."

Speaking at a rally held in Atlanta, Georgia, to support the Democratic candidate in the midterm elections, Obama criticized Trump and the US government's decisions.

"The current President chose to make a series of wrong decisions. The most important of them was to start an unnecessary war that no one wanted," Obama said. he said.

Referring to the agreement made with Iran during his time, Obama said, "Iran. The initial reason was to go there and make them give up their nuclear weapons and nuclear programs, but Iran did not have nuclear weapons. We had stopped their nuclear programs. As everyone accepted, I had signed an agreement that prevented them from having nuclear weapons. I did not have to launch any missiles. I resorted to diplomacy." he said.

Criticizing the war between the US-Israel and Iran, Obama said, "Our allies and bases were attacked. Americans were killed. Hundreds of Americans were injured. We exhausted our missile stocks, which made us more vulnerable, and Iran now has veto power over the Strait of Hormuz, through which most of the world's oil passes to reach consumers." he said.

Obama pointed out that the war is not over and said that this is the reason for the increase in the prices of many products, especially gasoline and diesel, and that this situation will continue because the war is not over.

Stating that the current government officials are not "serious people", Obama said, "We are all paying the price for their lack of seriousness." he said.

Obama pointed out that there were criticisms about the decisions and activities regarding the US border during his term, and said, "However, I do not remember anyone who wanted this administration to send masked agents running around our streets. I do not remember anyone who talked about the arrest and detention of law-abiding citizens, shooting and killing them, and taking children from their parents." he said.

Stating that Trump earned "billions of dollars" during his term in office, Obama said, "We can no longer keep in mind the number of all the deals he and his family made. Meme coins are contracts financed with taxpayer money for their children's companies." he said.

"You cannot use the office of the president and the policies that affect Americans for your own benefit. This is something dictators in other countries do, but we do not do this," Obama said. he said.

- Emphasis on the importance of midterm elections

Obama pointed out that there are only two years left in the Trump administration's term and said that the midterm elections are the "best chance" against this situation.

Arguing that it was important for the Trump side to lose in the elections, Obama said, "At least to restrain him, to say 'Stop' to some of the nonsense exhibited by this administration. This is a kind of fuse switch in the system, we need to take it off. We must start bringing an accountable order against this administration." he said.

Underlining that regulations should be created to ensure that the benefits of artificial intelligence reach everyone, not just a few billionaires, Obama emphasized that the education system should also be restructured in this context.

Obama argued that the government system in the country "does not work as it should" and said:
