I moved to Japan. Well run is a fair stretch, but at least there’s basically zero chance of them dropping a hellfire missile on anyone’s head (even their actual enemies).

We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. Join China probably, because I strongly doubt the US is coming (or will stay) to help given it’s track record.

That's the role the US plays, we do it so they don't have to.

It’s not as if it was possible to just not kill random people for petty politics, right?

Your comment is nonsensical to the question at hand, but why would you call it petty politics? If the people killed had been what the original target was thought to be, would that really be petty politics?

The original target was making money and winning elections. That’s not petty politics to you?
