But don’t expect to hear about this from mainstream US outlets anytime soon. They’re far too busy obsessing over Russia’s invasion of Crimea because a foreign government’s violation of international law is far more newsworthy than possible war crimes being committed by one’s own government.

...drones are now being used to justify Putin's illegal invasion? Obama bad. Putin good.

No matter how much ridiculous hyperbole is pushed, these strikes do not amount to "war crimes."

Silliness.
