He would have grown up to be a terrorist though!
I often find people are most ripe for radicalization in their mid-50s.
And you know they only admitted it because it was about to be exposed anyway
No no, it's clearly a PR move to show they care
surely this is the only time this has happened, glad we're still the good guys
Imagine living that life, damn. Growing up to become a shepherd in Syria, with all the associated struggles and moments of peace, then one day you're sitting out in a field and a drone from a country it would take your lifetime earnings to buy a ticket to obliterates you out of nowhere.
I bet they ran face ID on a grainy distant image
Beard? Check.
Brown? Check.
Taqiyah? Check.
We got him boys!
Doing anything to "make this right"? not that there is such a thing obviously. But if the idea was oh were so sorry it was a rare accident... Wouldn't you like idk offer a large sum to the victims family. Ya know the usual American way of making victims go away. But obviously nobody even pretends to care even that much.
Man who's job is getting protestors brutalised accidentally got hit by his friend and they were able to claw 23 million USD from tax money. You'd think a drone strike victim would deserve at least 1000 times that much. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/17/undercover-st-louis-police-23m
Drone victims family is given $23 billion dollars. The best thing the US ever did. Just a third the cost of that latest warfare and death bill to Taiwan, Ukraine, and Israel.
A year later quietly admitted in a way nobody will really notice and the next time you try to tell people that the US kills innocent people they'll just pretend this never happened or it's just a rare event rather than the norm.
