Terrorism is trying to deal with something by causing straight terror. Assassinations are the opposite, they're for when democracy is impossible and when war is unavoidable, if a leader of a country for example was clearly leading his people to March on the US im pre sure if you were in the US' shoes you would want that leader dealt with quickly and quietly. Again terrorism is causing terror on purpose to achieve a goal, assassinations are about quietly dealing with a threat in order to avoid causing terror. Literally the opposite.

Obama campaigned on being directly opposite of crazy war mongering republican George Bush. He ended up signing more executive orders and more drone bombing deaths all across globe. He ran out all the parts nessary to keep jet fighter's in air during war-time. Used up all bombs. That is why Trump took so much criticism at first in white house. Biden has run into same thing with equipment left behind in Afghanistan. Then spending 160 billion in Ukraine. Everything is running out and will cost even possibly double due to inflation. So that 80 billion of equipment lost in Afghanistan is now over 160 billion. 160 billion plus in Ukraine is double too. That's taxes for now and next 100 year's.

Fantastic interview, I enjoy listening to both of y'all ❤👍🏼🙏🏼💐🎉

Interesting explanation on the legality of it. On a lower level, the USCG falls under DHS instead of DOD to be able to conduct Law Enforcement capabilities, even though they are a Military Branch. When conducting military operations, specific units are detached and assigned to either the Dept. Of the Navy or the Dept. Of the Army. So what she is saying is true.

Telling assassination stories with smile, USA does it that's national interest and security but if Saudi or Iran does that breaking international law and proxy terrorism label put upon them. Saudi assassinating journalist was wrong but if USA agent in foreign country doing that its ok. There are multiple examples of USA doing that. Not supporting any country assassinating on foreign land but that does shows any one with power can do it 1000 times and still be called hero using soft power and social media. These rules and regulations are for all countries except USA which can force power to do the opposite while if any other country does it sanctions and threats roam around them.

It's not just the US. I'm convinced 99% of the countries are in bed with one another and have talks to allow certain things to get away with other things. Like the US either allowing 911 to get something in trade or doing it themselves for another country to get something from said country, such as, the blame on certain individuals and the take down of others. Not saying that's what I necessarily think happened, I'm just using it as an example.

You know when people try to convince you. They say “right?” All the time to make you agree. Just saying

It's a verbal tic, like "you know" and "I mean." Don't read things into it. Why would your uncharitable hypothesis be correct? He's not hostile. He's not contesting anything she says. She doesn't need to convince him of anything.

It’s all BS. Listen to Whitney Webb for real journalism.

Agreed on the great question, and even more with your thoughts on Annie saying she doesn't know. Great Interview, you both are class acts.
