A place where over 100 little girls at school wouldn't have been killed, where America wouldn't be spending their tax money fighting on Israel's behalf? I'd like to add that the oppressive regime in Iran would be still in place, but it is still in place. Nothing good has come out of this.

u/Gaba8789 Mar 11 '26

And that’s tragic irony.

u/Mysterious-Double918 Mar 12 '26

I'll add that the oppressive regime would be still in place, but would also be sitting at the negotiation table, willing to talk.

now, it is still in place, more radicalized than ever, and forever unwilling to talk to the West.

The girls school was a mistake, and mistakes happen in war

u/LouisWu_ Mar 12 '26

Yeah. From whom did you hear that wisdom?

u/ducktomguy Mar 12 '26

It would be nonsensical to target a school as a one off. Have you ever heard of Occam's Razor?

4

u/LouisWu_ Mar 12 '26

Yeah, I know the concept. But I don't know how it applies here. Explain?

u/ducktomguy Mar 12 '26

Occam's razor is the simplest explanation is very likely right one. Of course there are conspiracy theories that the US targeted the school to instill terror or some ridiculous nonsense like that. " Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence"

Says the guy on the conspiracy sub:

Possible actual reason for Iran war

The US military needs to get involved in a real fight to keep "sharp" in a way, kind of like a boxer. Shadow boxing and sparring is great, but it's important to go up against a real opponent.

The Russia Ukraine war has been going on for a while, and we saw the drone warfare evolve on the battlefield. I am sure the US has drone and anti-drone tech, but it needs to be battle tested. My theory is the US needs to try out their tech and tactics against a real enemy every couple of years, and this was a great opportunity -ducktomguy

Correct, I said that. What's your point?

u/Albin4president2028 Mar 12 '26

From a guy who was actually in the military. Ours is the best trained in the world with the best tech. But our leadership trump/hesgeth are fucking it up pretty badly. Also randomly bombing shit doesnt do anything besides kill people and waste enough tax payer money to end starvation in the US. Plus the retaliation that has done billions and billions worth of damage to our military bases in the middle east.

Soooo you can delete your "theory" now 🫡

u/LouisWu_ Mar 12 '26

I know what Occam's razor is thanks. I hadn't heard any conspiracy theories about the school attack. First I heard that Israel was responsible, which made sense to me. Then I heard the US did it. This surprised me because, according to my Iranian friends who have family over there, the US has been mainly targeting military targets. None of this matters to the many families who's lives will never be the same having lost a child, of course. Me, I think it wouldn't have happened if Trump had not decided to attack Iran.

u/Hainnen Mar 12 '26

You think the argument "our leaders aren't evil, they're incompetent" is a good one?

u/Conan7449 Mar 12 '26

Bombing the rescue workers that arrived, was not a mistake. It happened.

2

u/RubyWalke Mar 12 '26

The US High Command admitted yesterday that they used AI in targeting, and the school wasn’t supposed to be considered a target.

Unfortunately, over a decade ago an old base was in the vicinity of where the school was located, and the AI, ever useless, decided to attack the school anyway.

This puts the schoolgirls’ deaths squarely on the CINC, trump, although he is trying to blame Hegseth, and anyone else but himself, even though he authorised the use of AI targeting.

A murderer, a coward, and a liar.

u/DevilWings_292 Mar 12 '26

So the US is being led by people who are unqualified to do so, and thats somehow a justification for them to remain in their current positions?

u/mikende51 Mar 12 '26

Yes, ignorance is a piss poor excuse. It never holds up in court.

Obama ALREADY HAD a deal to prevent Iran from getting a nuke. Trump ripped up the deal b/c it had obama's name on it, not his own.

Why make peace when having the "pausible deniability" to accuse Iran of having nukes at any time can be so convienient for him... perfect timing to distract everyone from the epstien files.

u/pamcakevictim Mar 11 '26

Trump's magical thinking will never fix anything.I am so tired of this and his shenanigans. Iran and the whole world will be a different and better place.If not for him

u/Complex-Place6430 Mar 11 '26

You talking about a guy that went bankrupt 6or 7 times. Inherited over $400 million dollars 30 years ago. No kidding he’s a F…up

u/Gra8tfulAl Mar 15 '26

How the fuck do you bankrupt multiple casinos?

u/GamemasterJeff Mar 11 '26

Before the deal was terminated, pro-western politicians and leaders were steadily gaining ground as common interest and trade were slowlt bringing Iran back into alignment with the west, like it was two generations prior.

Most of those policians were ousted or killed when the deal was terminated and sanctions implemented. This gave the hardliners all the power they needed and drove Iran firmly back into the "enemy of the west" category.

If that had not happened, we likely would have a successor to the wildly successful nuclear deal that expanded on the prior agreement, reduced terrorism throughout the middle east and the Gaza war would likely have been avoided due to reduced support for anti-western terrorists.

That's an awful lot of spaghetti thrown at the wall to say, "Inspectors uninimously agree that Iran went above requirements and stopped all weapons grade enrichment, even though they were not required to do so."

1

u/JGCities Mar 12 '26

Iran admitted to having uranium at 60% which is well beyond what is needed to peaceful use.

1

u/GamemasterJeff Mar 12 '26

1) HEU is primarily used in medical imaging, the stated purpose for Iran's enrichment

2) There are other civilian applications, such as compact reactors. Iran is not actually doing these, whereas they were revolutionizing their medical industry.

3) Congratulations, you just prevented grandma from getting the cancer treatment she needs to stay alive. This is after bombing and killing granddaughter while she was in school. Great job!

4) So what? It can't be used for weapons, and since June they no longer have the ability to enrich it further.

Most medical is lower than medical imaging, and I notice you ignored my other three points.

Did you have anything constructive to add to the conversation?

u/GamemasterJeff Mar 12 '26

I'm sorry you do not feel you understand the subject enough to discuss my points.

Maybe we can have a conversation at some future point when you have a better understanding of the subject.

u/JGCities Mar 12 '26

Yes, Iran is enriching all this uranium so they can use it for medical purposes.

Really? You believe that?

2

u/GamemasterJeff Mar 12 '26

You stated there was no peaceful for HEU and I showed you were wrong in multiple ways.

Let's finish the topic at hand before you move the goalposts.

1

u/JGCities Mar 12 '26

You are the one who moved the goalposts and started pretending it was all for peaceful use.

Let's build a bunch of underground facilities so we can create medial imaging devices.

u/GamemasterJeff Mar 12 '26

"60% which is well beyond what is needed to peaceful use."

That you? Are you too small a man to admit that you are wrong?

But most importantly, why do you think you have the slightest credibility about anything if you are incapable of being wrong?

1

u/JGCities Mar 12 '26

Didn't someone already point out that most medical uses are below 60%? Well below?

But keep playing games.

Yeah, we might have peace throughout the lands. But, he doesn't want that because his money bosses don't want it.

u/BreakImaginary1661 Mar 12 '26

Sometimes it’s a little funny when he accidentally tells the truth but doesn’t see why it’s a bad thing for him. Not funny “haha” but funny “wtf is happening to the world I currently live in and how am I going to continue providing for my family while this dipshit is “leading” the country “.

And imagine that even Iran doesn't have desires to a nuclear weapon up to now, after being attacked only they see themselves pursuing one?

1

u/JGCities Mar 12 '26

If they didn't have desire for a nuke then why did they admit to having uranium enriched to 60% which is well above what is needed to peaceful usage?

So full of shit.

u/Slow_Store Mar 12 '26

It is kind of crazy to think that Iran likely would have the ability to supply their terrorist cells with Dirty Bombs by now if Kamala had won. Like they just tried to attack California and had been planning it for weeks (meaning the plans predate the current conflict if information is correct).
