As disgusting as what the US/UK does, it leans more towards cloak and dagger, rather than "look at as, we can kill anywhere and no-one will give a fuck about your, or if they do, they won't dare do anything to help you".

Edit: yes, I guess the US has similar optics in countries it operates killing drones as Russia has in Europe. Except probably worse.

The US regularly murders people by drone without caring whether or not there is collateral damage, and without any reaction.

It’s truly just an extrajudicial assassination list, whitewashed by “western first world” government propaganda.

I love it when you chaps do that little one-two of agreeing with each other. It’s so persuasive.

“I believe the perception caused by civilian casualties is one of the most dangerous enemies we face.” U.S. General Stanley A. McCrystal in his inaugural speech as ISAF Commander in June 2009.
