    The 542 drone strikes that Obama authorized killed an estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians. As he reportedly told senior aides in 2011: “Turns out I’m really good at killing people. Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.”

      Yes, I see, lots of parallels there.

      Apparently Trump is quite a fan of drone strikes too:

      There have been 2,243 drone strikes in the first two years of the Trump presidency, compared with 1,878 in Mr Obama’s eight years in office,

        That Trump is worse does not trivialize the fact.

          No, but it is telling that trump then, according to these number, killed 4x more people in 2x less time

          Both numbers suffice that either men should be in an ICC prison

            And highlights the reason why the US doesn’t acknowledge the authority of the ICC.

              We have a law that explicitly states we’ll invade if a US citizen is tried.

                Yeah, you can thank one of the bushes for that shit. It’s a fucking insult to the world

                I think that at this point, if the US wants to ever be eleven remotely respected again, that it will have to rid itself of bullshit laws like that, and acknowledge and fully support the ICC

                That, amongst much, much more
