Yeah, I meant the less literate version. It's obviously not murder, but I believe it should be treated at least as seriously.

Murder? Quite frankly, that's either akin to terrorism or it is terrorism. It destabilises entire regions of harmless civilians.

The CIA did this as well in Central and South America in the previous century. They got away with it as well, of course. The series Narcos and movies American Made and Che Part One and Che Part Two are albeit partly about these subjects. Not to mention more recently the collateral murder video.

I'm not entirely sure why? I guess if you got the military and economic high ground you get away with doing things like that?
