More U.S. war crimes revealed

For over 17 years a secret war has overlaid the massive conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. This war has been conducted from an office in the White House by a succession of presidents from Bush to Biden, who had potential targets for assassination by drone missile presented to them for approval by the CIA and other intelligence organisations.

These assassinations have occurred in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen against enemies of the USA, deemed to be terrorists. As would be expected there have been “mistakes” and many innocent people have been killed. Journalist and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was one of many who brought these horrific attacks to the attention of the world. For his efforts he is locked up in a high security British prison facing extradition to the USA.

The slogan “rules based order” regularly tumbles from the mouths of US presidents and officials but with nearly 16,000 people murdered, people see a hollow hypocritical message.

This article from Pearls and Irritations provides detailed revelations of the scale of this murderous program.
