Should France continue to assassinate suspected terrorists in foreign countries?

Should the US assassinate suspected terrorists in foreign countries?

The United States began using drones to conduct targeted killings in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. President George W. Bush authorized dozens of drone strikes against terrorism suspects , and President Barack Obama continued this practice and actually expanded the use of drones. Drones use continued under President Trump and President Biden. Drones were used in areas of war, such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and also against terrorist suspects found in countries such as Pakistan, Somalia and Libya.

No, only capture and interrogate if there is evidence that they have or are planning to attack our country.

 @9W8T2SH from California  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, but only if they have committed or are planning an attack up upon the U.S., and cannot be captured.

 @9SS3GK4 from California  answered…8mos8MO

Before doing anything, make sure the suspected terrorist in question is being fairly accused rather than picking a random person of a certain ethnicity. If they are being fairly accused, fairly question them and give them a fair trail.

 @9L2HWPM  from California  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only if the host nation approves and there is undeniable evidence they have committed an attack/orchestrated one.

 @96JH46G from California  answered…3yrs3Y

US should not intervene in foreign countries

 @95YPTL5 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but if we assassinate them we have to think about what conflict may happen

 @95Y9JQ2 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I think they should only if the foreign country asks for their help.

 @95SL454Republican from California  answered…3yrs3Y

If they were planning to enter our country then yes, but if they are in their country leave them alone, however we should still keep tabs

 @94X2KMC from California  answered…3yrs3Y

If the United States attains proof (physical, visual, or on the basis of international intel) that the "suspected terrorists" actually poses a danger to our country, then I would agree with the United States' decision to assassinate.

 @94VS6ZNGreen from California  answered…3yrs3Y

We should stay tf out of other countries business

 @93WS3WT from California  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but only if there is undeniable evidence they are planning to attack our country or undeniable evidence they have committed an attack against our country then should be given a fair trial and then send them off to prison if possible and be interrogated.

 @92FVR8W from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Stop war mongering

 @8Y34367 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence that they plan to attack or have attacked our country.

 @NikLewRepublican from California  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only if they are unable to be captured without putting our men or civilians in harms way.

 @8R2NK59Peace and Freedom from California  answered…4yrs4Y

Only if they did something that involved the US.

 @8N5NBZ6 from California  answered…5yrs5Y

Only with absolute evidence and with a good idea of the consequences of this action

 @8K394KWAmerican from California  answered…5yrs5Y

"suspected". not officially.

 @8H2SQMJRepublican from California  answered…5yrs5Y

That we have permission from the host country

 @8GWY689 from California  answered…5yrs5Y

Are they a clear and present danger?

 @8F7JVZ8 from California  answered…5yrs5Y

Suspected is one thing, but when hard evidence that is verifiable is presented, than there should be a process of protecting all humans from this individual

 @8D26RJRRepublican from California  answered…5yrs5Y

Assassination is such a strong word. However, when a country is attacked, they have the right to defend themselves. Bin Laden attacked the World Trade Center twice!!

 @99NPTFS from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but not on US citizens

 @99K9JSQ from California  answered…2yrs2Y

I believe that proper punishment should be given like jail time, and the right to a free trial, but not murder on first choice.

 @975XH3R from California  answered…3yrs3Y

No because then it will start a war between the U.S and different countries

 @8KVMWW8 from California  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes is there is either undeniable evidence that they are planning to attack our country or that they have committed an attack against out country.

 @8CY5LN5Republican from California  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, if there is undeniable evidence that they have committed or are planning to commit an attack against our country.

 @8X55TSH from California  answered…4yrs4Y

Soon in the future God's Kingdom will end the world's terrorism , Jehovah God promise us that weak people will be no more, but only righteous people will dwell on the earth,(Psalm 37:10, 11) the righteous people are the ones that obey Jehovah God's moral standards and laws.

The data says the US economy is strong. Swing-state voters disagree.

The US labour market has remained strong even while inflation has plunged from its 2022 peak. In September, the unemployment rate fell back to 4.1 per cent — higher than last year but still historically low. Even so, some warning signs have flashed for the economy. The number of Americans pursuing a second job is rising. So is the number of people unemployed for 15 weeks or longer. Credit card delinquencies are up, as people burn through cash handed out by the government during the pandemic. “People don’t feel as secure now,” said Paul Isely, an economics professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. “Even if lots of other markers in their life are better off, they know that they are consuming past their means, whereas before it was hidden by the fact that they had these excess savings.”Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles. Copying articles to share with others is a breach of“Here’s the problem: inflation is the rate of increase and [that] has slowed, but the public’s focus is on the absolute price,” the president of Western Michigan University said. “It takes a lot for the price level to come down. That would be a recession and deflation, so it’s not quite clear you really want that.”For residents in the state’s most populous area — spanning Detroit, Warren and Dearborn — everyday costs are now much higher and still rising. Inflation jumped to almost 10 per cent in 2022 and was still above 3 per cent as of August, according to federal data.That has left housing-related expenses up 36 per cent since Biden entered office. Petrol is more expensive than under Trump. Grocery prices have risen 25 per cent in the past four years.

Holy Intervention: Iran Urges Pope Francis to Stop War in Middle East

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian called on Pope Francis to use his influence with Christian governments to stop war in the Middle East, semi-official Fars news agency reported on Wednesday."Encourage world leaders, especially Christian governments, to prevent the continuation of aggressions made by the criminal Israeli regime," Pezeshkian said, in what Fars described as a message to the Pope.The message was delivered by an Iranian delegation participating in a religious dialogue event held in the Vatican, Iran's government website said.Tehran and the Holy See have enjoyed formal diplomatic relations since 1954, and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in 2022 shared a message to Pope Francis lauding his "stances on consolidating relations between Islam and Christianity".Last week, Pope Francis suggested the global community should study whether Israel's military campaign in Gaza constituted a genocide of the Palestinian people, in some of his most explicit criticism yet of Israel's conduct in its year-long war.Israel says accusations of genocide in its Gaza campaign are baseless and that it is solely hunting down Iranian-backed Hamas and other armed groups.Pezeshkian added that Tehran was ready to engage constructively with the Vatican to promote peace and justice in the world.Francis, leader of the 1.4 billion-member Catholic Church, is usually careful not to take sides in international conflicts, and to stress de-escalation. But he has stepped up his criticism of Israel's conduct in its war against Hamas recently.
