If you don’t think Khashoggi-assasination style polities or polonium-tip umbrellas can come to the US, what else did you think couldn’t come here 5 years ago? Big Debt? Far-right populism? Far-left populism? Protectionism? All that is here now. Why not Assassin State?
what is the historical precedent in America for state assassinations of political dissidents? The CIA has tried this against foreign adversaries but afaik there is no precedent for this occurring w.r.t critics of USgov.
