#3Islamic militants coming from Russia are terrorizing the Middle East. On the one hand, Putin is pretending to fight ISIS in Syria. On the other hand, he is shaking hands with ISIS sympathizer Kadyrov.

#4I've made the claim in the past on, for example, my FB feed that American drone strikes are literally terrorism and should be treated no differently than (for example) the Brussels attacks. This has resulted in more than a few hurt feelings but honestly I cannot see a difference. I am American.

#6Ah, a political thread. Who wants to place bets on how fast this gets flagged off the front page? :P
EDIT: And there it goes.

Maybe you were trying to discuss other geo-politikal issues but I don't see this as relating to the USA's drone warware at hand.

You can't see any difference between an attack in an extremely public place that indiscriminately targets civilians in an effort to kill as many people as possible and targeted attacks on specific targets with sometimes unfortunate and unavoidable collateral damage?

If a foreign power blew up my wedding with a drone strike because they thought someone there was on their watch list (correctly or not) I'd be likely to take up arms against them.
I don't understand how anyone can think this isn't going to happen, wouldn't matter that I'm an atheist not religious or anything else either.
Shit is all fucked up, We should never have gone into Iraq the second time and the case for Afghanistan while stronger was still debatable.
It's fucking absurd to the point of tragedy.
