With all the concern about what messaging app was used by our leaders, I'd love it if we also considered that we dropped bombs on a civilian apartment building and killed 53 people. Some number of whom were children. If another country did this to the United States, we'd call it a war crime.

Game devs are probably changing some narratives to sell to the new market of betrayed allies.
In that world everyone is objectified or demonized to make their deaths more palatable.. bless their hearts.
Fuck I mean we bombed a whole block in Philly in the mid 80's, does no one remember that?
Surprisingly the term only seems to go back to the early 60s, but the problem goes back probably as far as war itself.
Why the fuck are we fighting Yemen?
App concern is about taking *any confidential communication* outside normal gov't communication channels, allowing accidental invitation of random phone contact.
They just got busted on military convo.
- Beyond the boundless ineptitude, weren't they posting emojis while people were being exploded? Gross.
- The C.I.A. Director sounds like the C.Y!A. Director!
- This entire episode is a rare SLAM DUNK for the Dems... I wonder how they'll blow it.🤣
These were ostensibly private messages expressing their glee over what will likely show non-targeted civilians also being killed... is this not reprehensible behavior on its face?🤷🏻♂️
Not that they care, but I do.✌🏻
There were plenty of collateral casualties in many operations in Afghanistan and Iraq that military claims were accidents. Putin intentionally targets civilians. Is that the allegation here? Or is it that we ignored the possibility despite legit targets?
But, genuinely, good luck with winning the political issue. We can't help you there, as it appears we're a few months away from being designated the bad guys.
Also, Putin's war crimes should also be prosecuted and there are already people in Europe trying to make that happen.
And I think it is safe to assume the effort to avoid casualties by the Dem leaders has always been more than the GOP efforts, especially trump.

There’s just so much wrong with the entire clown show.
I guess I can expect MAGAts to stop with the lie about Trump being the only (F)OTUS not to have a war/drop 💣 ?

Claimed the authority to target and assassinate an American citizen with a drone strike on a wedding
Oh sorry, the "right kind" of white people. Generally Eastern Europe need not apply.

The government of fools & incompetents may not, but we the people are.
Officials are drafting a proposal to defund and potentially 'disestablish' the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, though Congress would have to approve doing so."
WaPo Jan-25
Trump doesn't care about civilians.
This administration that is shuttering Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, applauding
further destruction of Gaza, withdrawing aid to Ukraine, and threatening Canada, Greenland, and Panama.
They're not just trying to appease Russia, they're trying to BE Russia

If ~50:1 is okay to the U.S. and ~400:1 is okay to Israel, why not 100000:1? Or more?
If we are so determined to kill "bad actors," we willingly indiscriminantly kill innocents, we are murderers.
Helping Israel was the mission. You can't even tell that from the chat.
I can see maybe that's why they don't like us
I can also see why Biden didn't call the strike

Because those ammosexuals are that fucking stupid.
We're talking about how a Republican administration bombed an apartment complex and catastrophically leaked the plans. To see that and reflexively chime in with "This proves Democrats are bad" is just fucking weird.
we didn't forgot Obama's drone campaign and how it destroyed not only countless civilian lives with the same level of inhumanity, but their livelihood as well
they're both equals in this matter
We’ve run out of benefit to give them during doubt.
and I'm not being glib

When we do it, we're defending ourselves, advancing freedom, or stopping terrorists.
But TBF, this did not start with the current guy.
Yet when Russia does it to Ukraine, the Trump administration just states there are good people on both sides.
Use this number: (202) 224-3121
Demand they fight for the removal of Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard and anyone else who lied under oath or compromised national security.
It's an easy call. All you have to know is your Congressperson's name and it will connect you.
Of a war crime. Obama’s DOJ investigated him for one of the strikes he ordered where civilians were killed. Came out in the immunity SCOTUS arguments. Beer Boy asked if Obama should have been investigated over it not knowing it had happened.
Or if anyone will remember, care or talk about war crimes 10 or 20 years from now.
And they wouldn’t hide with their kids in between missile and drone attacks; knowing that they are targets.
"If Americans cared more about their lives and those of their allies, they wouldn't have elected an ego-centric, treasonous stumblebum hellbent on destroying the world."
We can do better and still eliminate the Houthi threat.
We absolutely forgot
But in this case the PLAN was to "collapse" a civilian housing unit, just to kill 1 person... who clearly the US was tracking. They discussed doing the strike at some later & could have done so at a time/location w much lower "collateral" deaths.
But chose not to.
War crime? Quite possibly.
These people, in addition to the ones like Homan and Noem, etc., are the worst of the worst.
repulsive
They used an app to communicate a top secret agenda, they included a journalist and they are pretending that it’s all cool and normal. That Golfing Resident wasn’t resident.
Our guys' stupidity, incompetence and unlawfulness doesn't excuse their acts of war.
They don’t care about the lives of these servicemen because they see them as expendable resources - similar to other dictators.
Same for all of us - we make them $
-Major Payne
Only Congress can declare war. This is absolutely a crime.
