Hi AC,

"How could they get their targets wrong on the opening strike and blow up an all girls school?
These people are morons."

So you acknowledge a targeting error? Note that there is no dispute that there was an IRGC base there. Also note the practice of using human shields. How many Iranian military bases are located in schools, hospitals etc? Was the cold blooded killing of tens of thousands of unarmed citizens by the regime a targeting error?

The Iranian regime is desperate and calling on its terrorist militias across the Middle East. Armed anti-regime militias are now active in Iran. When the US and Israel take Kharg Island I suspect that the regime will collapse as factions stab each other in the back to win favour as deal makers.

Why do Ukrainians hate the Russian invaders? Why is the greatest fear of Iranians the survival of their oppressors?

"Its not for me to prove it didn't, the onus on YOU to prove it did. Can you name one person it saved, who was going to die if they didn't? No YOU can't."

Are you seriously arguing that people weren't dying in the war and that bringing it to an early end didn't save those people. People who were dying in Changi. People who were dying in Shanghai. People who were dying in the daily US air-raids using conventional bombs. Are you seriously saying those things weren't happening.

"The world is truly upside down! The Washington Post has published a brilliant article, written by, get this, a professor! To give you some flavor, here are a few choice lines by @jmurtazashvili


1) "We are living through the first alt-war: a conflict in which the war fought online and the war fought in reality have diverged so completely that they might as well be happening on different planets. It’s not that people lack information, it’s more that they are constructing an entirely different alternate reality — one that confirms what they already believe."

2) "What worries me more than the fake videos are the people who cannot fathom that this war is going well for the United States, for Israel and maybe even for the long-suffering people of Iran. The strategic picture is more favorable than the online narrative suggests."

3) "Two weeks into the war, I watch otherwise reasonable analysts sprint to catastrophe. Former officials, thinktank scholars, credentialed professionals who are supposed to know how to read a conflict. Within days they had written the obituary: quagmire, overreach, disaster."

4) "The liberal internationalist left and the isolationist right — two camps that have agreed on almost nothing for decades — have suddenly found themselves in lockstep, racing to declare the war a failure before it had barely begun. This is the new blob: not the old foreign-policy establishment that the term originally described but a new amalgamation that has arrived at the same conclusion from opposite directions. Together they are the most powerful engine of the alt-war."

A really great article in the Washington Post explaining how people like AC are led down the garden path by so-called experts. The only trouble is that people like AC won't see it and wouldn't understand it if they did read it.

It appears from some reports that what is now the school was part
of the original military premises.
Part was hived off to be a school.
The question it raises is how up to date is the info ?

Paul. it is easy to decide who would die or not if an nucbomb is dropped.
The area with all killed is easily marked and where surviving
patients are found from their addresses in voting rolls, tax files etc
etc etc.
Not difficult at all.

Well, it looks like a push will start in the furure to reach an
Understanding with Iran which they will take up after some showmanship.
But make no mistake this is a religious war predicted in the Koran.
It will go on for centuries if necessary as it is Allah's will.
It has been going since the taking of Jerusalem by the Arab armies
in the 7th century and the campaigns of the Crusaders.
So you could say Trump is the latest of the Crusaders.
The Koran says any promise made to Infidels can be broken when convenient.
This they will do to restart their nuclear bomb project.
Ultimately the Middle East & others must turn away from Islam.
Until their population realise that this war is promised in the Koran
to enable Islam to rule the world the war will continue with the fanatics.
Dismal isn't it ?
Look at the wars of conquest under Allah's flag in Asia, Africa etc.
You cannot see the pattern there ?
Read history !
