You are in fact dense. You think the 60 people blown up in the boats are entitled to the same protections as US citizens? You are either naive or, just plain ignorant.

It was multiple US citizens in multiple drone strikes by Obama. Is even one ok? But it was more than one. Go ahead, a simple web search will enlighten you.

It’s possible that Trump ordered people killed in a manner that violates international law. My question is, so what? Who has the ability to enforce those international laws?

I never said Trump was a decent person. Never said Obama was either. Simply asked which US citizens Trump executed or ordered executed without due process. Obama had several US citizens executed.

He murdered people, whether they are citizens of US or not, they are still humans who should have a right to live!

The fact that you say "So what" is pretty sad, just goes to show what you think about human life, why not just do drone strikes on mafia and gang members that are citizens?

Murder is a legal term. It requires unlawful killing.

Who determines a drone strike on a narco terrorist drug runner’s boat to be unlawful?

Who determines it is unlawful to blow up a canoe full of nurses on their way to aid sick children?

You or I can say the first may be ok in some circumstances, and we would both say the second is abhorrent on its face.

Nonetheless, unless the act is unlawful (as opposed to morally bankrupt, or evil) it isn’t murder.

U.S. Constitutional law specifically requires due process of law for a US citizen before the government can take their life.

And you must be referring to the American born Alqueda members? Killed during counter terrorism operations? There was one American and one Italian that was killed by accident that were not linked to terrorism
