Trump’s Secrecy Insulates U.S. Public from CIA Drone War

1. America is the true terrorist state. Strikes in countries without an actual battle on the ground are war crimes, plain and simple. The fact that the administration wants to hide civilian casualties is just more evidence that America's military is anything but an instrument of peace, democracy or the rule of law.

2. We the American imperium are the global terrorist the so called terrorist are freedom fighters who can't attack military targets due to lack of aircraft

3. There is no way to achive the right thing by doing wrong! This is the only truth in all this…! — The world is angry about people who assassinate civilians with bombs. It happens from time to time and we call them "terrorrists". — It is clear, the number one terrorrist, assassinating civilians on a regular base, is in fact the USA! They claim there are "terrorists" that are targeted, and "the rest, dead on the ground" are sadly inevitable casualties. What if the so called "terrorists" start claiming they targets were war mongering criminals, and the rest of the victims of e.g. a car bomb were just sadly inevitable casualties? All of this type of argumentation is just trying to justify severe crimes, regardles of who argumentes this way! There is no "good crimes"!

4. you can never "legitimize" the drone program, no matter the president. It's a terrorism weapon, pure and simple

5. WTF Academic consideration !? Any sentient citizen of this planet KN0W$ (burning Bush CIA $yndicate) assassinations are international war crimes (especially since there Is N0T a $ingle legitimately Declared US WAR !). ALL 0f the BushC0bama/Billary putsch; now including (Abrams, Barr, Bolton) Bushwhacked Trump should be perps being Nuremberg-prosecuted in the Hague.

6. Murderous US has worsened under Trump

7. Dude needs to buy a new wig! That hair piece is comical!

8. Is ignorance a valid excuse for a population with voting rights and when information is available freely in your living room without threat to life and limb. I maintain that it is not.

9. White nations killing nations of color willy neely. So many innocent people of color in nations throughout the world are being killed by these deadly drones flown by invisible pilots in America and Israel.

10. This is an excellent piece filled with pertinent information.

11. Just what we need, a liberals opinion.

12. Killing people with drones is terrorism full stop. Stop killing civilian in third world countries.

13. calling a u.s. strike a cia strike is mis-direction – it's under military direction, under the supervision of a u.s. commander, the drone itself from military stock. but, blame the pentagon's 'civilian' buffer if you must

14. How is the USA administration not considered terrorists themselves?  How many people do they have to kill? If it is justified somehow, then why is it hidden & not broadcast every night in a kill tally on the news. So we all can be proud of how our govt is keeping us safe from people in tents thousands of miles away. Hell, why not use the cameras on the drones & make a reality tv show from it. Sounds right up Trump's alley.

15. Every day the US officials sanctimoniously accuse others of atrocities and human rights violations. And every day US drones kill people who were not arrested, not tried, not convicted of any crime. They also kill the innocent people around the targeted individuals. For a whole year Trump, having declared a fake National Emergency and being unchallenged by the ignorant and the complicit, can declare Martial Law just as easily. He will say the Congress has done nothing to mitigate the National Emergency at the border, and it's necessary that he take steps to secure the country. Legally. And he can make or change any law. He can put troops on the streets to shoot Americans to preserve domestic tranquility. He can stop Social Security, Disability, Food Stamps, Rent subsidy, Medicare, Medicaid, all at the same time. He could end taxation for the rich and big business forever. He could arrest whomever he wants and hold without trial or representation. You may be thinking this couldn't happen. Look at what has happened since Trump took office. Then tell me why he would allow himself to be removed from office when one signature will make him dictator for life, legally. There was no reason to declare a National Emergency except this one: Martial Law as opposed to being executed for treason.

16. Release of the civilian strikes by drone is too little too late. That news makes us a macabre looky Lou. Just stop these war toys of the deranged military.

17. Americans, if you voted for these two parties, how do you have a right to complain? Why should you get to play the "lied to" victims anymore? You have a shared responsibility for the state you're in! It's 2019, so stop your pissing and moaning and do something about it, besides just voting in the next "lesser of two evils"…

18. CIA strikes outside of the battle area should be banned completely. We are killing folks indiscriminately, causing pain & creating new terrorists. The only thing transparent about Donny is his comb over & childish ego. Can we please just stop killing people?

19. The US , the number one terrorist in the world and the number one creator of terrorists in the world. At this point, we can no longer call them terrorists. These are the angry children who's families we've murdered, countries we've destroyed, and futures we've stolen. They are not the terrorists, they are the victims.

20. If the majority of US citizens. Figure this shit out try.And try.to put a stop to this. The Corporate Millatary Government Complex. Will be dropping the drones that we pay for on us. The host guest just told the viewers that. These Dickfores are violating laws of what there up to. On the Corporate News. With no blowback. Corporate not going to stop. United States of Shareholders.

21. Yes

22. The simple fact is the US public would never go along with what the warmongers are doing, so the public sphere needs to get back transparentcy and hold the warmachine accountable. There is no need for any strikes get your head on straight its a manufactured enemy this is all corruption, and the warmachine is doing it on the reputation of the US citizenry.

23. More US corruption at it's best.

24. What is a terrorist? It's anyone who stands in the way of them stealing all the world's resources.

25. i was an obama supporter until i learned he assassinated an american teenager with a drone strike- i was so appalled i quit following politics altogether, until trump, when i then HAD to pay attention. now this. now we are not being informed at all of who this madman is killing in our name. god save us.

26. Conservatism has devolved into a disgrace. It has taken a dark turn into a dead end of extreme nationalism, fascism, into violence and hate and stupidity. This is always conservatism’s danger, to be honest. To conserve all the wrong things — all the follies, mistakes, and idiocies of history. This age’s conservatism seems hell-bent on conserving history’s most vulgar, catastrophic, and ruinous mistakes: supremacy, violence, greed, racism, bigotry, demagoguery. Conservatism, in other words, needs badly to be reimagined, to rediscover its own truth and purpose. Unfortunately, it has no real or intelligent thinkers left. It’s younger generation is even more consumed by fascism than its older one, which laments just that plight. That sounds grim, dystopian, and horrific  because it is!

27. Drone strikes–being invisible, sudden, devastating and mostly indiscriminate–are arguably the worst form of terrorism on the planet. Whole populations live in constant fear of being blown to pieces without a moment's warning. And the US leads the world in this travesty.

28. Trumpworld doesn't do checks & balances, or accountability.

29. I can't imagine any Country allowing our CIA to drop bombs on them at will… Where is this happening and why are they ok with it? Scary as fuck

30. The USA is the most crazed, tyrannical and murderous society on the globe…by far.

31. I heard the war between Oceania. Eastasia, and Eurasia will require more secret drone strikes with zero transparency for the safety of the greater good!!! Enjoy your extra rations of chocolate for final victory is nearly in grasp!!!!
