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, capture, interrogate, and imprison. If evidence is found they have already committed an attack against our country then they must be executed.
@9SV9J3J3mos3MO
They should get approval from both countries and should not kill them, they should give the names to the country to search and go from there.
@9JYRHRP10mos10MO
No, they should be captured and given a fair trial by the WHO and the United Nations so there is a universal agreement on what a suspected terrorist means.
