> Serious question: Now that he's a US citizen on foreign soil, and an enemy of the state, is it now legal to call a drone strike against him?
Not quite by my understanding. He would need to be in an area officially classed as a war zone for that.
They could send them to surveil and intimidate him though, but there are less costly ways to do that which won't upset the people in the country he is currently living in nearly as much.

The drones currently unofficially over china are not carrying weapons so couldn't "take him out" as the OP I was responding to was talking about. Of course their might be something else the US are doing that we don't know about...
