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Donald Trump order a deadly military strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran because the Pentagon was using an out-of-date map?

    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.

    This sort of thing happens every time we bomb the middle east, because we simply don’t give a fuck about civilians without moneyed interest. This is a feature of middle east wars because their lives are valued less. The white supremacists must be thrilled though, none of those girls will ever make non-white babies to replace them.

    It was close enough to a military base that one might extrapolate that it was a deliberate act of state terror on Iranian military families.

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

    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!

    Oh 🐂 💩. He did it because the Zionists do it and their people applaud them, and because the USA is extremely comfortable with genocide, since founding. Ask the few remaining unmixed indigenous here, if they can be found.

    because the Pentagon was using an out-of-date map?

    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.

    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.

    I think they ordered a strike on a girls school because they thought it would be funny to show how non-woke they are. Remember: these guys are as evil as they are stupid.

      Most building roofs don’t tell you that much. Especially in a city with multi-tenant buildings.

        Taking satellite pictures at an angle though gives you quite a bit of information.

          It is very common for buildings in Iran to be surrounded by high cement walls and fully enclosed courtyards, even private residences. This is partly due to their oppressive regime and a desire to keep having parties and generally normal private indoor lives.

              No, it often cannot. That’s what I mean by “fully enclosed”, and I can see how you might have thought I just meant walls and no roof. I should have been more clear, but I was trying to differentiate between just having walls vs having full private enclosure for recreational spaces, which is common in Iran and also in a good chunk of other countries.

              Schools or gyms often do have roofs as well, with vents or small/high windows for air circulation but no way to actually see inside because physical privacy is especially valued in Iran - not just because of the government but also because of cultural and religious traditions.
