guys this is so crazy to me i feel like we're regressing if we, despite the history of this country droning and bombing civilians and covering it up to, are still led to believe at face value that the people killed were "justified targets this time around!" And now that trump is in charge well the guy and his fascist crew certainly believe who theyre bombing are all guilty, right?
In 2009, the Obama administration conducted "the first known U.S. cruise missile strike in southern Yemen . . . That strike, which killed 14 alleged "militants," also killed at least 41 civilians, including 21 children and nine women, five of whom were pregnant at the time."
The Obama administration would continue to claim that their drone strikes were "exceptionally surgical and precise" and "do not put… innocent men, women and children in danger" but we know then and now there was mass civilian casualties.
In 2013, the administration launched four Hellfire missiles in a counterterrorism operation in Yemen. The Obama administration claimed all killed were militants and terrorists, witnesses said the administration killed a wedding procession
We know that the Obama administration would define militant as any "military aged male" to drastically lower the "non-combatant" death
Biden continued this policy. In 2021 there was footage showing a drone strike killing civilians, seven of the ten those killed children. In fact civilian deaths are so rampant that this "mistake" continues to happen. In Syria, the biden admin claimed to kill an al-Qaeda leader then find out they killed a father of ten children
Now, with the lack of accountability, may we ask why the hell we should believe that this airstrike the TRUMP administration sent killed only the "bad guys". He killed civilians in Yemen before
Whats even more just disappointing is that people not only believing at face value what the administration will say who they target, but the complete pivot from "progressive" people being against droning to just not caring. I was in class this semester and my professor thought it would be a fun learning exercise to ask the class how many civilian deaths would they be alright with if it killed so and so top dictators and people kept their hand up for 100+ civilians. I had to disrupt that shit and say "so would any of you would have raised your hand if it was you and your family at risk of being killed because canada claimed they needed to bomb your town to eliminate a terrorist group and they cant help but kill civilians because its just war?" and surprise i was met with silence.
Can we bring back being against droning? can we make that a mainstream belief again wth.
youtube needs to implement some sort of 'do not recommend channel + kill yourself for recommending me this' button
