Right, that would be war. My understanding is that the gov has more covert methods... We hunted enemies before in other nations with some success.

- Raidion 5y agoThis is exactly what they're doing now, they're just doing it with law enforcement agencies and not military. Military is honestly going to be worse at all of this, as they don't have the investigative capacity. This also ducks the very thorny political problems where Ukraine (never mind Russia!)are NOT going to allow US military involvement in domestic affairs, but do have agreements with Interpol that make this possible. Nobody wants extrajudicial military extraction squads acting on their turf. I'm sure the various 3 letter agencies (NSA, CIA, etc) are already involved to a degree that's not publicly known.
- patrickdavey 5y agoAre you suggesting hunting enemies in countries like Russia/China is going to go down well? How would you feel if they decided to declare some enemies on US soil and start hunting them on your patch? Unless your assumption is that Russia/China would agree to the hunting of course, but that does seem unlikely.

Anything has risk of course, any hunting need be covert and expertly done. >How would you feel if they decided to declare some enemies on US soil and start hunting them on your patch? I would assume they already did that.
