Did President Donald Trump order a deadly military strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran because the Pentagon was using an out-of-date map?

    I doubt that Trump is targeting anything beyond “Iran”, he can’t lead a military operation in any capacity.

    He couldn’t manage a McDonald’s.

    That would be unsurprising. I recall during the W admin, maybe Obama I just remember where I lived, they did a drone strike on a “militant group” that they did a typo on the name but blew up and killed the wrong group including their families and children and a wedding, and oh yeah they were totally militants after the fact but no one had heard of them before.

    It’s just Standard Operating Procedure for the US Military I guess is my point.

    Well, last time i heard of an american war crime, the yankees took like 2 months to admit that those terrorists loading weapons into a truck were actually humanitarian help sorrounded with children, loading water into a truck… if this is the real reason, i call it progress

    Well done americans!

    I’m betting they asked Claude or Grok or whatever Palantir’s FORINT/Secret Police model is and didn’t bother doing any additional auditing whatsoever because “AI is amazing” 😬

    If that’s “terrifying” what is it called if they intentionally targeted the school?

    Trump and his cabinet are so inept he is asking reporters/columnists what he should do with Iran. All because he believes Bibi’s 30yrs of lies regarding Iran being “close” to having nuclear weapons.

    Old maps? More like future maps. And killing civilians, mainly children, has always been used by the USI. To me it seems to say that they can do it, and no one will stop them, or stand in their way, because they’ll do the same to those who oppose. Kind of like don’t fuck with us because we have no boundaries when it comes to death and destruction, and we are above the law mothafuckas. We rape and eat babies, we are the monsters!
