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?
"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…
Who said they had all the time in the world? You can't get most of Irans upper leadership in a single room every day when they were publicly trying to hide.

Pressure from most of the world isn't enough, why would additional pressure from the US (who Iran already regarded as an enemy) have made the difference?
Iran didn't really do anything last year after supposedly having their facilities "totally annihilated". But it used to be that the US was respected enough that public saber rattling and behind the scenes diplomatic efforts would avoid conflict. Sadly, we've done our damnedest to turn that respect into a joke. We used to make deals with people, but the greatest deal maker ripped up all of them and replaced them with…
This is isn't true in practice, even if you want to argue it's technically true. Iran has been participating in conflict through proxies continually for decades. US sabre rattling has done nothing to quell that violence.

Yeah, going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there boss. The man Hegseth in all his 'no quarter' bravado is only affirming his own mother's claim that he is a piece of shit. respectfully of course, I would not put it past him to kill some kids for a political or terrorism reason (the parents).
Also, it's been a while but remember Trump literally said he wanted to "take out the families" of terrorists ( https://www.cnn.com/2015/12/02/politics/donald-trump-terrori... ).
It's a non-sequitur point anyway, these kids weren't families of terrorists.
The US under Trump is behaving exactly like a country with intentions of damaging the Western order and antagonising enemies to open new front lines. I think writing off Trump's actions as stupid is wrong, he's malicious.
You can't have a serious discussion of this bombing without addressing the information warfare component. To this day we don't know what actually happened . Between the general public and the facts, there are many middlemen, all with their own distorting factor: the IRGC; the US government; western press outlets such as the Guardian; and the people quoted by the press. IRGC is making claims that no other party can ve…
Everyone acknowledges that the US killed a whole bunch of kids, including the US

Some children being killed is an inevitable part of war. Do you agree with the statement "No war has ever been worth the results."? If yes, then okay end of conversation. But if not then we need to talk about acceptable mistake rates and where this falls, because zero mistakes is not possible. Note that I am not defending the strike here, I'm saying that the criticism needs more depth.
> Some children being killed is an inevitable part of war. Killing children is a war crime, and not an inevitable part of war.
> Parents are solely responsible for bringing their children on stolen land. There were indigenous children living there that were murdered.

Nobody will stop USA as long as they fight evil regimes.
Fixed. US only has chutzpah to fight someone who can’t meaningfully fight back. If US was truly fighting evil regimes, it would go for Russia, China, NK and bunch of other autocrats.

Why do I have to keep believing China will be worse? It's not china mass survelling the planet, the US is. It's not china starting wars, kidnapping foreign leaders, it's the US. It's not china threatening their allies, not even going short of mentioning annexations, the US is.
China does these things to their own citizens, so really only better for those out of range.
