Why is it that when an American soldier shoots an enemy combatant who may or may not have been a prisoner (and not protected under the Geneva convention, in any case), it’s headline news, but when the French unilaterally invade an African country, completely destroy the air force of a sovereign nation, and massacre dozens of protesters nobody hears about it?

If an anti-American shoots a person of colour in the forest, do they bleed?
