My stance on this is that we are inevitably going to kill civilians in a war and that a school was hit was probably a tragic accident regardless of the cause. But for as much hay has been made regarding whether or not it’s good for us to be involved, my issues right now with the actual...

Because nothing else is actually out there yet. There appears to be good, verifiable evidence that the building in question was struck and that it was a school. The military has responded thus far by acknowledging they’re aware of the claims and are looking into them. As far as I can tell, the...

I guess I don’t know, but given the way it’s being debunked it seems that even the skeptics are conceding it happened? I’ll accept any egg on my face I’m owed if no school was even struck.

The post being circulated that you shared showing a rocket misfire that was claimed to be the one that hit the school was from a town on the opposite end of Iran. Funnily enough, they also suggest Occam’s Razor: If there’s better evidence, I’m all ears.

Occam’s Razor. I’m not unwilling to believe this was a misfire, but I’ve yet to see *any* supporting evidence. Do you have any?

The only evidence thus far to debunk this claim is, again, a picture of a missile faltering from a town that’s as far away from the school as Atlanta is to New York City. I’m willing to believe the claim if better evidence is ever provided.

You’ve already made up your mind that Iran did it because someone on Twitter shared a picture of a misfired rocket from a town on the other side of the country. So why even bother with this?

Apparently not in the reading of distances.

1.3 thousand kilometers. I’m not sure what the range is of that missile, but the picture of a missile falling in the snowy mountains isn’t compelling proof of anything.

Maybe we can’t just declare things unequivocally just because it means we might not be responsible for killing children.

Sorry, I should have waited for Chaya’s Clan to weigh in.

If every reported atrocity is immediately hand-waved away as obviously committed by Iran itself by the same people sharing videos of the US firing off impressive weapons to promote American strength, I see no reason to take their viewpoints seriously.

My point is this: the Iranian people are the ones who will be almost exclusively paying the price tag for any secondary benefits to other people.

Yes. But I’m out on this discussion. It’s already painfully obvious that we can take any conversation we’ve ever had about Israel-Palestine and just copy/paste it with some sprinklings of American strength and CCP influence added in for extra flair.

Would it matter to you if it were accurate? If you’re going to hide behind simply denying it happened, you must also be prepared to come back and offer an actual opinion on it if it’s validated.

But just think, we might remove both Iranian and Venezuelan oil from the CCP supply line!

They actually made an entire movie about this. Truman wasn’t the hero.

I can see them just fine, I find the celebration of them abhorrent under the given circumstances.

I don’t really give a damn. There’s no doubt that the current regime is bad and there’s no reason for me to dispute the potential positives for the Iranian people as a whole. But innocent people are going to die in the process and segments of the right are already jerking off Trump for his big...

In no small part, the very Iranians the pro-war folks are claiming to be fighting for through one side of their mouth while cheering on their “necessary sacrifice” in pursuit of a weakened China from the other.
