as for why, the POTUS doesn't have to explain anything and no one in Congress is asking him. He can and has already killed US citizen children in Yemen without explaining himself.

is that's the difference between legal 'regime change' and not-legal assassination; meaning we understand how laws work and the other side doesn't, but that's probably because we know how to READ those Laws.

Other than that, yeah you're spoton. My Lizard Brain says just kill that fucker and be done with this. I also understand I think that way because it's my Lizard Brain and mostly, it should be ignored lol.

IMO this makes the US look foolish and ineffective in that we spend so much money on weapons and we can't upgrade them. The generals had to have informed trump about the ECM problem. It pisses me off that trump wasted $59 million on his PR stunt especially the $39 million on those that were stopped.
