Yeah, I don't really want to argue this side because I think the drone strikes are reprehensible but in the U.S. there will likely be at a minimum internal investigations, quite possibly congressional hearings, etc. I doubt the same could be said if China did something similar.

It's not even a debate. Where are the triumvirate of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld after falsely starting a war and destabilising an entire region? It doesn't matter what the country stands for, it's what it does that counts.

Due process only applies to American citizens depending on how wealthy you are. The rest of us are sh* out of luck. Which was GP's point.

Biden murders a bunch of civilians then has the media cover it up to try and look tough after his Afganistan withdraw clusterfuck gets thirteen American soliders killed and you feel the need to go back over a decade to look for an example of evil US government.

Democrats live in a perpetual state of denial.

Agreed but `crateless` diverted the issue.

The experience of using Google to search in China is vastly different than the rest of the world, unless you rely on a VPN service. IIRC, VPN usage is illegal and is reserved for the more state-sponsored "privileged users".
