    Where do you get your drone strike stats from?

    From last year:

    "All told, Trump has ordered 75 drone strikes or raids in non-battlefield settings during his first 74 days in office, according to Micah Zenko, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

    By Zenko's tally, Obama signed off on 542 such strikes during the eight years — or 2,920 days — he spent in office.

    Obama's total works out to about one strike every 5.4 days, the first two strikes coming on January 23, 2009, in Waziristan, Pakistan, and thought to have killed as many as 20 civilians.

    In comparison, since Trump took office, he has overseen about one strike a day on average.

    The first three strikes under his watch came on January 20, 21, and 22 — all of them targeting AQAP in central Yemen — followed a few days later by a SEAL raid in Yemen that left one SEAL and dozens of civilians dead."

    The cause of the 'Collapse' could have been more of a factor. The decision was made back last year in the Forbidden City.:emoticon-0105-wink:
