Reminder that the US is responsible for the precision strike murder of at least 165 school children[1]. The fact that they are still 'investigating' after 7 day

Reminder that the US is responsible for the precision strike murder of at least 165 school children[1]. The fact that they are still 'investigating' after 7 days now is basically an admission that they are indeed responsible for it.

  > Can someone explain why this is being downvoted? It's not relevant. We have no evidence one of the nutters ordered the strike. Which makes the far more likely answer of fuckup/collateral damage in the course of a major bombing campaign a good default.

    At a future time it may become apparent that these events are linked in some way. It's too early to pin them together for sure, but I don't see a problem with raising awareness.

      > It's too early to pin them together for sure, but I don't see a problem with raising awareness It's baseless speculation. That isn't fodder for thoughtful discussion, particulary when framed as a statement versus a question.

        I'm seeing this more as filing under "potentially relevant" rather than explicit speculation, but I can see your point. Thanks for the clarification.

    Hegseth is religious radical who invites religious radicals to speak to troops. He is the head of the operation and openly promotes "maximum lethality, rules of engagement are stupid, we dont do defenders we do warriors" philosophy. So, imo there us a relationship between "religious nutter" leading department of war and army not being bothered with bombing schools or hospitals.

The latest hypothesis is that it was once an IRGC building many years ago but these reckless idiots in the US military just assumed this unvetted intel was correct.

  Quite typical of the terrorist Iranian regime to convert a IRGC compound building into a school for girls. Also typycal for the trigger happy idiots in the US military to take the bait and blow it up during school hours.

    It was not bait. USA official doctrine right now is "we dont care". Israel was systematically bombing hospitals and civilian infrastructure in all wars. It does not matter what regime is Iran. This one is squarly on USA. USA dis not took bait, but did what it promissed to do.

      > It was not bait. USA official doctrine right now is "we dont care" Hospitals lose protection under international law when used for military purposes for good reason. Iran and its proxies have essentially been abusing the conventions that held until now. That doesn't excuse hitting a school, nor suggest that we should do away with these protections. But if one side keeps using schools and hospitals to cover materiel, the notion that those are not legitimate military targets becomes untenable.

        American official attitude is "there are no rules of engagement those are stupid". Nice apologia attempt, but no. Somehow all hospitals where Israel operates are oitside of geneva convention, always. All the accusations you made here are made up on the spot by you. This is not about Iran abusing convention. This is USA and Israel official doctrine being like "it does not apply to us" and "the fact that we dont care makes us manly". The school in question did not hosted missiles. And when israel "ordered" 200000 people to move away else they are valid target of murder, they were trying to create local refugee crisis.
