The US is a morally and ethically bankrupt country, that's why something like this happens. Not the first time either[1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiriyah_shelter_bombing
Time for a massive boycott to all US-American products? Or what else will stop the thugs?

Does that make it not a school, somehow? Or are we cool with killing kids just because their parents might be in the military? I'm not clear what the excuse being made actually is.
It's definitely not cool to have a school adjacent to a military base. Not saying this specific attack was justified, but whoever allowed this, let alone if it was done intentionally as a strategy, also has blood on their hands.
I mean, you kind of are saying it was justified, given the entirety of your focus is on justifying it. The blood is solely on the hands of the useless, dumbshit military that couldn't identify a school and avoid bombing it. And that's the charitable interpretation of their actions.
"Three clicks convert a data point on the map into a formal detection and move it into a targeting pipeline. These targets then move through columns representing different decision-making processes and rules of engagement. The system recommends how to strike each target – which aircraft, drone or missile to use, which weapon to pair with it – what the military calls a “course of action”. The officer selects from the…
You have clearly articulated what I’ve personally explained to people. Thank you for that. The nature of the strikes as a part of a thoroughly pre-planned surprise attack lays the entire blame at the planners, approvers and those who executed the strike. The lack of comprehension some people have baffles me, as I’ve had the displeasure of reading several dozens of online posts asking why kids were at school during th…
Any chance of elaborating on that? I’m new here, so I don’t get it

Yes please, but start a bit earlier and tell me the white house version of how the US staged a coup against Mossadegh in 1953 to install the Shah regime and control oil (ring a bell?)

Your strongest example should be good enough. So far you've got 1) flights between Venezuela and Iran 2) whitehouse.gov. Even if Trump's Whitehouse was a good source and you took it at face value, most of the items in that list are by Iranian proxy, i.e. Iranian intelligence involvement. So by comparison you'd have to include Israel and CIA actions and then it's just a mess to figure out who's worse. But even then, I…
Isn't it a more reasonable explanation that the IDF deliberately had this school bombed because those schoolgirls were the children of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers? The intentional murder of enemy children is a tactic of the IDF. They've done it for decades.
There are rumors that the IRGC has started to recruit adolescents (again). I'd have an easier time believing that, but where the Middle East is concerned, there is an endless amount of propaganda and hyperbole, so I don't automatically believe what I read. Pardon my condescension, but it would make the comments sections better if everyone did likewise.

So to clarify, your argument is it’s ok to target civilians with bombs as long as they are located in a nation that practices terror?
Iran has never targeted the US but if they did, I would assume they would hit military targets.

That just means that you agree that there has been a war going on for 50 years which was the OPs point. You are agreeing with the person you responded to.

> The US did not murder tens of thousands of innocent Iranian civilians around the world
No, not just Iranians. You gotta learn the history of your country and spend less time singing anthems
