    I've honestly never seen any of his work. Any recommendation?

    There is a sadness to this trend on Reddit. I think people are tired of hearing excuses

    There was a drone strike about every day and a half during his presidency vs. about one every four days for Obama. If you want to complain about drone strikes, he's top of the list so far. Or you could just complain about the current administration's drone policy, with which I disagree same as you. Putting Obama in the mix opened the door.

    These are the only available numbers released by the Obama admin.
    You see some missing information?

    You literally making a claim off incomplete data that you can’t back up.

    Is that drone strikes or air strikes as well as drone strikes? the sources I read ( https://www.cfr.org/blog/obamas-final-drone-strike-data , https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/0...ng-drones-to-target-terrorists-just-ask-obama ) say the number of strikes he ordered was 542 and the civilian death toll was 116 to 324.

    Perhaps you are including the strikes in the war zone. In my opinion, those would be the same as manned air support, and not at all what I don't like about (especially) the CIA's use of drones. In that case, the BBC says there were 1878 in Obama's 2 terms vs. 2,243 in the first 2 years of Trump's term. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47480207

    Your table of data was interesting. Could you give me its source? The numbers don't match anything else I read anywhere. Not saying your source is bad, just different. The number of strikes is higher than Obama says, but the civilian casualty count is actually lower than his claim of 116.

    Edit: I don't know what happened to the rest of your quote. Sorry to cut it off like that.

    Next, consider the data that is missing. There’s no available info for drone/air strikes inside Iraq, Syria, and Libya during Obama’s presidency.
    Trump ramped up drone strikes, and did away with transparency, that much is clear. But, there’s no way of comparing the amount of strikes, if we don’t know how many were carried out in the three countries I mentioned.
