Do you support Donald Trumps assassination of the Iran General? (I do)

If you believe it was an assassination, then you are ok with the President breaking US law.

@JoeyFoxx Eh, it's a stupid law. The CIA should have just been reigned in through policy changes.

Now we have these goofy euphemisms - but targeted killings are assassinations no matter how much lawyers dance around it.

@QuixoticSoul I’m on the fence. Clearly he needed to go, but with an open emergency declaration, it’s technically a military strike.

It’s just a weird slippery slope when everyone isn’t on the same page

@JoeyFoxx That's the sort of goofy lawyer shit you have to do when you make basic tools of realpolitik illegal. Permanent emergency, and worldwide battlefield with no defined enemy. It's meaningless.

Regardless, even in times of open war - taking out a high value target in a deliberate surgical fashion is an assassination. There's no real reason to treat it as a dirty word, these are big boy games.
