    Ukraine drones

    Why not both ? Using hacked cameras to put Ukraine drones into the kill zone.

    Wouldn’t it be interesting if Trump attacking enemy political leaders (which has been tacitly mostly kept off the table for, what, centuries?) led to open season on warmongering heads of state?

      Hear me out: dude is terrible, but “open season” is kinda what leads to “fuck it, let’s try killing more civilians.”

      The idea that countries should go after heads of states that they don’t like is what it turns into, and the people end up at the other end of the barrel more often than those leaders.

      It’s only kept off the table between peer or near-peer states. Global North countries often do it in the Global South where they don’t have to fear strong retaliation.
