This is something that really upsets me about war. I sometimes feel the destruction of infrastructure as harshly as the loss of human life. I see buidlings destroyed and think about all the people without homes. without shelter. I see a bridge like this and think about all the resources put into building it and how that much more of the earth will have to be pulled to build it again and that is not counting the resources wasted in making and delivering the weapons.

Because America does whatever Israel tells it to do. Donald trump is a pedophile, a rapist and a snuff film maker. America is rotten to its core, but its citizens refuse to rise up and overthrow a bunch of washed up news anchors and reality TV show hosts because they revere celebrities and rapists more than they disagree with murdering innocent human beings.
It’s the American Way.
its citizens refuse to rise up
Americans routinely go through periods of insurrection and revolt. We had Occupy. We had the BLM protests. We had the anti-war movement stretching from early 2003 to 2012. We had anti-genocide protests. We've had No Kings marches - massive parades of people in the street shouting and marching. We had the J6 riot at the capital. We've had militia movements all through the Midwest and Gulf Coast. We have cartels and mafias that periodically pick fights with local, state, and federal police. Biker riots and Tea Party marches and tax revolts and race riots.
The problem isn't that Americans won't rise up. The problem is that we also have an enormous, incredibly well-armed and exhaustively well-trained policing bureaucracy. Over 700,000 professional cops, plus sheriff's deputies and national guardsmen and private security guards and mercenaries and bounty hunters. We've got a hundred billion dollar prison industrial complex. We've got a multi-trillion dollar surveillance state. We invest staggering amounts of labor and capital into keeping American citizens repressed.
When Americans rise up, other Americans press down.
Well, that, and orangeboi probably wanted to knock over something big. And I’m very serious when I suggest that as a possible motive. Dude’s got the mentality of a kindergarten bully.
Probably to create pressure on the opposition, or to destroy logistic supply.
The israelis bomb infrastructure to punish civilians in a bizarre belief that this will pressure the governments they are attacking to sue for peace.
It.never works and now the Americans are copying them.
It does genuinely look like israel is running this war.
Because it was the tallest bridge and it didn't have a big Trump sign on it. That makes it a National Security threat. /s
So they bombed a construction site? Why wouldn't they be able to keep using a construction site?
Because this is an extortion scheme, not a military engagement.
