U.S. Drone Strikes Even Worse Than We Knew

[pknopp]

As I've often noted we killed thousands of innocent people and we call others the terrorists. We killed thousands of innocent people and no one can even provide and sort of justification. It's funny that while a very large percentage of people will defend this it's those who crow the loudest about how the government is untrustworthy that will just buy their lies here.


The trove of documents—the military’s own confidential assessments of more than 1,300 reports of civilian casualties, obtained by The New York Times—lays bare how the air war has been marked by deeply flawed intelligence, rushed and often imprecise targeting, and the deaths of thousands of civilians, many of them children, a sharp contrast to the American government’s image of war waged by all-seeing drones and precision bombs.

The documents show, too, that despite the Pentagon’s highly codified system for examining civilian casualties, pledges of transparency and accountability have given way to opacity and impunity.

Pro-life my ass.

U.S. Drone Strikes Are Even Worse Than We Knew

We are like all other empires throughout history. Murderous and imperialist. And like all other empires, our warlike actions will lead to our destruction.

 

[JGalt]

Fuck 'em. Kill them all and let Alla sort the bastards out.

You sound just like those we condemn.

He’s just trolling. Ignore him.

The fleecing of the taxpayer and the wealth transfer through war and reconstruction has been going on for a LONG LONG LONG time.

-We make up a reason for war
-We give trillions of dollars to the MIC
-We kill hundreds of thousands of brown people
-We give hundreds of billions of dollars in construction contracts to Bechtel and Haliburton to rebuild the nations we destroyed.

RINSE REPEAT every time the CEO of Raytheon wants a new yacht.

Terrorist's murders in Europe have gone way down. From 150 deaths in 2015 to just 12 in 2020.

The drones are working.

Yes, and it all leads to tyranny at home and ultimately the demise of the nation. We are watching it occur before our eyes, but somehow many Americans can’t or won’t see it.

We kill tens of thousands of innocent people to save 138?

If true, watch out. They won’t like this. They need lots of dead to keep the MIC humming.

Eisenhower warned the nation.

 

[TNHarley]

Americans apparently love this bullshit. They keep voting these corrupt war mongers in, time and time again. SMH

 

[pknopp]

Eisenhower warned the nation.

He did and then got us involved in Vietnam. Even those who know better can't resist.

Biden nearly ended the drone war, and nobody noticed

Why is the White House so silent about this significant achievement?

[ColonelAngus]

The lefties who love war and murdering BIPOCs are really puzzling to me.

They really lost the plot.

 

[JGalt]

Condemn away. I simply don't give a fuck.

 

[Otis Mayfield]

We kill tens of thousands of innocent people to save 138?

Better them than us.

 

[JGalt]

Better them than us.

We do have our differences, but I had to give you some love for that.

 

[gipper]

Eisenhower warned the nation.

Yes but no one listened. The oligarchy loves war and they can easily dupe enough Americans to go along with their nefarious plans, thus sealing their fate.
