Itās amazingā¦.just like that, Republicans suddenly rediscovered that scrap of toilet paper that passes for a conscience and are horrified, yes horrified, at a drone strike that killed civiliansā¦as they SHOULD be. Wouldnāt you agree? There is way too much ācollateral damageā and not enough accountability In drone strikesā¦not to mentionā¦if you donāt have boots on the ground and lives at stake in the processā¦itās easy to distance oneself from the actual people you kill.
The problem though, when your conscience is little more than biodegradable tissue, is that it is only activated by a partisan moment and then discarded after use.
The civilian death toll from drone strikes:
Ten years investigating US covert warfare
During the Trump administration both drone strikes and civilian casualties increased dramatically.
Civilian deaths increased by 330% during the Trump administration, with
over 700 in 2019 alone.
I looked real hard for any outrageā¦this thread seems to be it.
