That’s not right. You fund a rebellion group in the country in question and THEY do the killing.

Pretty bad that I see Krombopulos Michael as the morally superior party in this situation. The guy is providing expert service, doing something he loves, making a living. When compared to what the US does, that's not so bad. KM probably kills fewer people, too.

"global South" as in South America?

Not just South america, but generally most countries south of the equator, outside the imperial core, who are making most of the products for the world while being paid miniscule wages.

It is mostly South America, though. The US asserts much more hegemony over it than it does over Africa, for instance.

I just got done commenting about this exact situation happening in Afghanistan.
