that chart in the article showing how Raytheon's stock price jumped up right after we learned about that girl's school was bombed is just so sickening

Perhaps one of the most pointless wars in recent memory.

But it's what Americans Israel wants!

While piece leads with depravity of school attack, and I'd add hospitals and leadership assassination, understand the geopolitics that the US is ruled by Israel first mandate, and Israel wants only destruction. Not a surrender and peace. Just as a nuclear deal with Iran would have entitled it to an opinion on Israel actions. Cruelty and illegality is the insurance to guarantee a unified angry Iran who'se only choice is to fight back. This is 100% the plan, and all idiocy of not understanding a plan is idiocy looking at the US to promote some humanist/liberal peace outcome instead of serving Israel's demonism.

All US allies have their political capital and media as atlanticist/zionist supremacist propagandizers. As such, they are more likely to equivocate Iran's self defense actions instead of strong condemnation of Zionist demonism, and threatening of rupturing of ties with Zionist allies to motivate a quick ceasefire. Waiting for Atlanticist/Zionist supremacist media to help sell demonism to the people of US colonies, is simply gaslighting concerns about demonic evil that will be applied to them all directly in the future.

And bombing of a girls school is a war CRIME. There is a subtle difference.

Iran's government needed toppling, but the ends do not justify the means. How you do something is just as important as what you're doing, and this is being done in a horrible, unjustifiable way for deeply nefarious reasons, and the fact that some sort of good may come of it (though that remains yet to be seen) does not excuse the fact that most of it is really, really bad.

I think we should just get it out of the way and call it The Iran Genocide. We all know that's where this is going.

That BAAL statue....

Land taken and extended time period is war. Not splitting hairs here, but a few strikes to avoid discussing genocide or the Epstein files, does not a war make.

This is a long, exhausting and difficult read. The absurdity, cruelty, stupidity, and savagery illustrated within is enough to make you need to lie down.

But there is also an inspiring clarity, repeated multiple times simply saying "This is wrong. This is murder. This isn't complicated, really, and pretending it is, is nothing more than an indulgence to protect American ego."

I'd like to read that sentiment more often, in more places.

Killing a religious leader is an extremely bad idea. I hope that Iran will eventually launch attacks inside the U.S. and launch drones against U.S. bases in San Diego.

Photos supposedly showing that a misfired Iranian missile caused it were debunked, although they spread widely online among Americans and Israelis desperate to believe that only the Bad Guys do things like this.

I wholeheartedly believe that only the bad guys do things like this. America (and by extension Israel) has a storied history of being the bad guy, despite so much propaganda to the contrary.

a must read! Very good article

Yeah well, the media loves it, so we will keep getting breathless accounts of explosions.

This is unimaginably sick! Nothing indicates that this was just an accident. And it isn't the only place. Gaza, the Venezuelan boats,.. The depravity is just unthinkable. Yet the rich entitled sadistic creeps like rump and hogshit joke and laugh about it. I hope they have a special place in hell to suffer each and every tragedy they've inflicted on the world. The earlier they reach there, the better.
