Yes but America did that to foreign people during war. Its something else when a government does this to its own people.

Ehh, don't you think that actually makes it worse?

I don't know about you, but even if the government does not have a legitimate democratic mandate, it still has a larger say than a foreign country. Especially if you consider that the USA isn't exactly a shining example of a functioning democracy.

1. America declared the war on false grounds, like most wars since WW2

2. It makes 0 difference morally whether you’re targeting domestic or foreign civilians

3. America starves civilian populations outside formal states of war. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RM0uvgHKZe8. This is the visible tip of the iceberg
