And, the exact same companies would be doing exactly the same things inside the US if they could -- literally the only thing that prevents it is that we have a legal and societal system that would get them in trouble for it. They're already okay with killing people through pollution or poverty, they're already okay with straight-up murdering people in other countries; it's just that they'd get in trouble for it if they were shooting Americans in the head, so they (edit: mostly) don't.

I keep trying to use the word that really sums up these people and corporations: evil.

These people are evil.

Textbook, cartoon villain style, straight up evil.
