Suspected US drone strikes kill three al-Qaida suspects in Yemen, officials say


"Lads, when those Googles on The Coli criticize Trump, deflect to Barry Soetoro's use of drones and pretend you care that Muslims got bombed. They'll never see through our genius rhetorical tactic."

This was what had me the most nervous about Trump's presidency. He doesn't have to answer to anyone on drone strikes.

I don't understand the outrage over drone strikes vs conventional aircraft strikes.

Since no American life is at risk with a drone strike it's much easier to decide to use it as opposed to flying a jet and risking a person's life.

So a lot more drone strikes take place that maybe a fighter jet wouldn't be put in.

Reading between the lines this means the United States is going to firmly remain an ally to the Sauds, who have gotten themselves involved in this war against Yemen but been useless. They need outside help and America has answered the call.

This means ISIS and Iran and all other Sunni supremacist terrorist organisations are going to be on that Saudi Arabia is like their mortal enemy

Yemen is where the hardcore and entrenched AQ are. They also bombed the Cole there so it makes sense that the US go hard there.

We need to let Saudi Arabia collapse. Then they'll stop spreading their perverted version of Islam around the world.

Its not a problem until drones start flying above your head. The outrage is that the places we've been drone striking are not declared war zones. Drone strikes often hit innocent people. We terrorize the local populace raining missiles from the sky with no plane in sight. The drone operators have a higher than normal PTSD rate. Taking lives while playing video games is not whats hot. I get the technological advancements and the advantage that gives us especially in saving our own peoples lives but when some country flips it on us and uses drones against us it'll be fukked up. Drones should be banned in warfare the same way torture is.

The issue isn't the method, the issue is that it's "unauthorized" warfare.
