After seeing this article flagged https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47273698 I assumed there was no hope for this one.

Yeah, but that does not influence US politics.
I’d argue that Iran has a huge influence on US politics, as the US is currently at war with them.
A majority of Americans are completely unconcerned by the suffering of victims of the empire abroad.
I get the feeling AI will be blamed for this, but I would not rule out the hypothesis that this was done intentionally in order to incite Iran to do something that bolsters support for the US regime’s actions. They desperately need domestic political support for this war and right now even the hardcore MAGA people are against it.
Sounds too convoluted, and implies that those in power in the countries attacking Iran have a grand plan that goes beyond killing people in Iran. The explanation is simpler. They want death, so they are bombing shit indiscriminately Hitting a school was not a mistake, it was the point.

> It really doesn't matter whether it was a mistake It does matter if people go around saying that “they want death, so they are bombing shit indiscriminately.”
I'm not sure how "they want war, so they are bombing negligently" is any different. Or morally better.
What on earth makes you assert the USA just 'wants war'? If this war goes on for too long Trump is cooked. He'll lose the election and might even be unpopular enough to cop the persecution he deserves.
If this turns out to be true, which seems increasingly likely day by day, this will be the humanitarian price against which the rest of the campaign will be measured. The US will have ceded much of the moral high ground they claimed in avenging the slaughter of innocent protesters.

Disagree, negligence seems more likely
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/hegseth-insists-the-iran-... "No stupid rules of engagement, no nation building quagmire, no democracy building exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight to win, and we don't waste time or lives," Hegseth said. Words of your Secretary of War, not mine. This is not a woke war. This is a war where you bomb schools and kill children.
The US government has now been taken over by religious extremists. The irony...
they're only pretending to be religious extremists so they will get those votes, though. just like they pretend to be everything else. when the mask comes off and they call the shots, this is who Republicans are. Guardians of Pedophiles.
They are the worst of the worst! Always projecting!!
Republicans spread hatred about trans people during the day, but at night, they thirst for them and get caught fucking them.
Their voters are just next level dilusionals!!
