Yeah, it has a cursed ‘May you live in interesting times’ aspect to it, and it doesn’t need drones, good sniper or three will do it. I do think there should be accountability for initiating mass murder, and international law seldom achieves it, less so all the time and usually well after the damage is done. A greater perception of personal danger for the (usually coward IMO) perpetrators might do something to check the ‘might is right’ ethos on the rise today, which in the long run will cause more casualties.
To be clear, I’m not in favor of capital punishment but governments do like to keep it on the books for treason. Good for the goose…
“Those who make peaceful reform impossible have made violent revolution inevitable.” - John F. Kennedy, ironically here I guess, or maybe apropros.
