Iran does it and you are apparently totally fine with anything Iran does so why the outrage if anyone else does it?

Also, Russia bombed hundreds of schools all throughout Ukraine and the world stood by silently and did nothing. I seriously doubt the outraged "They bombed an Iranian school" poster posted anything at all about that in any of the threads here.

I have yet to find a single major social media pundit leading the outrage commentary about Minab who also condemned the Russian bombing of schools in Ukraine for the last 5 years. Why is that?

Because you're lying and trying to deflect. Almost everyone, except for our dear leader, has condemned Russia's attacks on civilians in Ukraine.

When did the pro-Palestine people do this? When did the pro-Iran posters here do that? And I don't recall threads going on for 10 days straight over every Ukrainian school like the drumbeat here over Minab.

DP. It’s not our taxpayer funded weapons bombing Ukrainian schools. I condemn any school bombing but take the ones done in my name as defense more personally.

How does Russia make amends for all of the unwarranted brutality it's inflicted on Ukraine since 2014? How does Iran make amends for the violence and chaos it's driven throughout the middle east since 1979? How does Israel make amends?

Seems like this is the new global normal and if you're looking to Trump to be a moral standard bearer to raise the standard, you clearly haven't been paying attention.

Don't look to Russia or Iran or Israel for how the United States should behave. We should take responsibility for this atrocity.

Ah, war crimes are only war crimes when they involve US taxpayer funds. Got it.

I can't tell you what the phantoms in your head say or explain your inability to remember events from just a few years ago. There has been widespread coverage and condemnation of Russia's attacks on schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings.

General condemnation and by other accounts, yes. But not specific condemnation by the same accounts that are currently the loudest to condemn the Minab attack.

You've created your own strawman. Get off of twitter, it's warping your mind.

It's no strawman of my own creation. I've done the searches. The top accounts doing the loudest moralistic tweeting about the Minab bombing were silent when schools in Ukraine were being bombed. That's nothing of my own doing. I'm merely exposing online hypocrisy, lopsided astroturfing and trolling. And I'm pretty sure it's happening here on DCUM as well.

Congratulations, you just discovered that twitter is a cesspool of manipulation and in no way representative of reality. The rest of us have know that for years.

People are upset because of what happened not because some random account on twitter says to be upset. It happened, it was unnecessary, it was not faulty navigation, and it was a war crime. Not as bad a war crime as what Russia, Israel, or Iran have done but a war crime nonetheless. We're supposed to be the white hats. Those other three countries wear their black hats with pride.

The more interesting question, is why did it happen? I do not think we deliberately blew up a school, even though we did deliberately blow up a building that was a school. Did AI create the target package? Did Israel give us the target packages? I don't know but we do need to find out why so it doesn't happen again.

Pretending that it didn't happen, or that it wasn't us, because twitter bots are amplifying the story is counter productive.

The entire purpose for those Twitter bots existence is to try and rile people and make them upset and to try and convince them of things that aren't necessarily true.
Just as the entire purpose for some of you here on DCUM is to try and rile people and make them upset and to try andconvince them of things that aren't necessarily true.

Let's not play games and pretend that isn't the case.

As for the school, there is to this date no conclusive proof whatsoever that a school was willfully and knowingly targeted. Clearly the building was part of a military base and its function was not always a school. That's established. It's also established that it was within mere feet of buildings that DID still serve military functions. It's established that it was hit, however, whether it was a "double/triple tap" as claimed only comes from Iranian state sources which throughout this war have been questionable, unreliable, and frequently dishonest. Anyone making declarations to the contrary does not have independently verifiable or corroborated evidence to back it up.

How so? The PP made it pretty clear they have no expectation of Russia or Israel ever being held to account. Only the US should be held to any standard. It's not me that has the communication problem here. Work on your own arguments.

I always find myself trying to discern if MAGA is what they are because they are stupid or because they are evil, but truly you all are a terribly malignant combination.

No, they didn't. They stated their issue with what the US did. That's it. You're the one that keeps trying to make it about everyone else. Whataboutism is a notoriously weak argument strategy. You're unable to argue the actual issue at hand—the US's war crime—so you attempt to obfuscate and dismiss it in favor of pointing fingers at everyone else. Loser.

The geopolitics threads on this board tend to be flooded with non-native English speakers who rely on appeals to emotion and rhetorical devices rather than facts and logic, and thus struggle with making coherent arguments - who then like to call people stupid for not understanding their incoherence.

The US exists in a vacuum? Again, crap argument. You're the one obfuscating and dismissing the other players here.

Your reading comprehension is questionable at best, disingenuous at worst. PP is clearly labeling Russia, Iran, and Israel as the "bad guys" and not nations the US should model its behavior after. The US used to be respected and one of the "good guys". It's not any more. It's no better than any of the bad actors.

As someone above said, "this is the new normal."

Thanks to Putin and others. Republicans embrace thugs.

Those of us who didn't vote for this have nothing to do with it. If you want accountability, you need to put that pressure on Republicans, not randos on DCUM, most of whom are not Trump supporters. And meanwhile there's absolutely nothing wrong with constantly continuing to call out the wrongdoing of the other global thugs, whether the Iranian regime, the Russian regime, Israel or whoever.

But clearly some posters on this thread have an agenda and want criticism of anyone other than the US shut down.

Exactly. +1.

Nonstop false accusations … posters repeatedly cite and restate what they actually said, then this bozo continues with the intentional false accusations.
