- garbagecoder 5y agolol, no, he’s talking about the Uighurs, which involves orders of magnitude more people than all drone strikes combined.
- authed 5y agothanks for fixing my ignorance
- olliej 5y agoI mean that's another problem - America's general "killing people in other countries is ok if it might be the enemy" results in unending variations of this. The current bout of bombing civilians started in with the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 (I think?), but before that they aggressively bombed Vietnam. But there is a real difference between indifference to collateral deaths and actively trying to eliminate entire races/religions/etc, and so it's important not to fall into both-sidesism.
