      yeah this was so great for them https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/the-assassination-complex/

      During one five-month period of the operation, according to the documents, nearly 90 percent of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets. In Yemen and Somalia, where the U.S. has far more limited intelligence capabilities to confirm the people killed are the intended targets, the equivalent ratios may well be much worse.

      It’s absolutely vile how people will go on to try and justify colonialism.

        No one is defending colonialism. It’s saying the Taliban is worse. Which it is. Those poor people.
