US drone war: What do we have to do with it? (2022x28)

Udgivelsesdato: Aug 17, 2022

US drones kill suspected terrorists around the world as part of the “war on terror”. But they also hit innocent people again and again. In collaboration with the ARD magazine Panorama, STRG_F traced in detail how Afghan children were killed by a drone's rocket due to a mistake. In many cases, the US base in Ramstein, Germany, is involved. The Greens have criticized this practice for years as a breach of international law and have called on the government to take action in motions. But now, even in power, they shy away from the once clear words. For this report, STRG_F reporter Armin traveled to the various locations of the drone war: to the Afghan province of Wardak, where drones have shaped everyday life for years. To Nevada, where the pilots control the US drones. And to the Palatinate, to Ramstein, the central location for data analysis and transmission.
