How exactly is this different from the drone strike campaigns of the last 15 years? Genuinely asking, seems bad but not particularly different at first glance.
They were happening in a war zone. We are not at war with Venezuela. Pretty obvious why this is different.
And no, I'm not defending Obama's bullshit drone strikes. Just be real.
Sorry but that is absolute bullshit, declaring "War on Terror" does not make a whole region of the globe a war zone.
It was bullshit then as it is bullshit now, check your biases.
They literally invaded two countries. We probably agree that they never should have been there, but to suggest it wasn't an active warzone is just asinine.
You think the drone murders were limited to merely Iraq and Afghanistan? (Putting aside the absurdity of declaring whole countries to be "war zones" even a decade after the invasions)
