“America the Repugnant. Assassinating Foreign Leaders Is an Act of War”


"Assassinating Foreign Leaders Is an Act of War"

Absolutely, there is no other logical or ethical way of looking at it.

But when you function as a global imperial power, treating entire countries as pawns and putting everyone's interests after your own, it's not hard to see how you could start thinking of political murder in god-like terms of just tidying up a bit.

It's part of the sickness of empire, the near total corruption that comes with near total power.
