Very few such countries exist, and most people in them aren't native English-speakers.

I'm pretty sure that most people in the US speak English. See "signature strikes": https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/01/obama-contin...

Quoting from the article:

> So-called “signature strikes”, targeting people whose behavior is assessed to be similar enough to those of terrorists to mark them for death, will continue, according to senior US officials.

> Human-rights groups have long denounced the practice – whose criteria can be as vague as killing “military-aged males” in regions where terrorists operate – as anonymous killing.

The cited source does not support the stated proposition. It merely contains an unsourced, parenthetical, editorial comment to that effect.

The alleged practice is not something the United States does.
