    Opposition leaders and dissidents do not get regularly assassinated by the government in the US for starters.

    Because there’s no need to do it

          Nice non-sequitur but that doesn’t excuse anyone of anything.

                  If that’s something that regularly happens in the US, do you have any examples from the last decade, instead of three examples from 55-60 years ago?

                  Ok, 60+ year old examples aside, how does any of that excuse anything anyone else does?

                  It fucking doesn’t!
