It’s amazing….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 civilians…as they SHOULD be. Wouldn’t you agree? There is way too much “collateral damage” and not enough accountability In drone strikes…not to mention…if you don’t have boots on the ground and lives at stake in the process…it’s 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 outrage…this thread seems to be it.
