Putin and the GRU should take lessons in extra-judicial executions from the U.S. When Donald Trump wanted Iranian General Qasem Soleimani killed, the CIA did not have an agent lace his tea cup with poison at a civilian airport. Nor did any U.S. spies wipe a nerve agent on his family doorknob. Hell no. On Jan. 3, 2020 a predator drone operator at the U.S. base in Doha, Qatar simply pushed a button and fired a missile into Soleimani’s entourage at the Baghdad airport.
