Donald Trump ‘to ramp up the CIA’s deadly drone programme’ so he can ‘bomb the s**t out of ISIS’
Under Obama's presidency up to 4,666 people were killed by the unmanned aircraft
MILITARY experts predict Donald Trump will ramp up the CIA's assassination drone programme to “bomb the s**t out of ISIS”
Under Barack Obama's presidency up to 4,666 people, including 745 civilians, were killed by the unmanned aircraft, new figures show.
In addition, Airwars, another journalism project, estimates a further 900 drone strikes have been authorised by the Pentagon since inside the official war zones of Iraq and Syria.
Airwars director Chris Woods is considered a world leading authority on the use of drones and believes there is a “real worry” about how Mr Trump might embrace the deadly technology.
He told The Independent: “Obama warned us during his own campaign trail back in 2008 that he would escalate drone warfare. He mentioned approximately 30 times that he would take the war against al-Qaeda to Pakistan.
“That’s why we have to worry about Donald Trump. You have to listen to have he has already said. He’s already said he might deliberately target the families of senior Isis militants – which would be a war crime.
