Unless they targeted children on purpose it wouldn't be a war crime, that doesn't mean there shouldn't be consequences though.

But Americans don't even hold their soldiers responsible for deliberate war crimes, so I have my doubts they will even get to hear some rebuke...

"Maximum lethality, not tepid legality" - Pete Hegseth

Pete Hegseth always likes to make himself out to be tough when he is talking about things like that but instead he ends up sounding more like a 13 year old boy who just finished watching ‘Conan the Barbarian” or 'Masters of the Universe' and has got his Action figures out to play.

We'll often see explanations for this type of thing as "well you can't predict exactly where a missile will fall", "targeting errors happen", etc. And yes, that's true. But those explanations have the underlying assumption that choosing to fire those weapons, and accepting a nonzero failure rate that kills innocent people, is preferable to the alternative, which the administration has not shown to be true in any way.

Sorry for not getting the graphic. The missile hit a school and sports hall, but the damage occurred further down the road?

There were two misses, one on the school, one on a residential neighborhood, very close to each other. Both missed the alleged IRGC compound.

I am not smart enough to get pedantic…but this is not what the OP posted. I am down with what y’all are selling, and hopefully MAGAs will fall on thier own petards soon enough. The minute we descend to their tendency towards lies it becomes “he said, she said” b.s. And they usually win that battle.

Yeah, I'll be the one to say it. Its not a coincidence that school is like 20 yards from two valid military targets.

Why can’t we kill 0 civilians in war? We have the ability to do so but don’t. Why is Trump so heartless?!

Because cruelty and violence towards helpless and innocent people is the point. They are reactionaries who see the world as a "natural" social and moral hierarchy based on identity. They are obsessed by status and power, equating the former with the ability to break rules and get away with it and the latter with doing harm to others. By engaging in violence towards others, they lift themselves above them because (in their eyes) it is an expression of strength and therefore status. Also, once they victimize someone they have to justify it, and the easiest way to do so is to pretend that the victim is to blame, is worthless, ..., which they will do by doubling down and escalating the cruelty and violence. After all, if callously harming others is a mark of strength and therefore status and morality, then being a victim has to be a mark of weakness that makes you undeserving and immoral. Hence the popularity of domestic policies that do nothing but punish people they look down on. Hence why oligarchs and the rich in general despise and hate everyone else. Hence why tariffs were somehow going to help the USA just because they hurt other countries. Hence why endless pointless wars have to be fought. Hence why they want to kill as many people as possible and destroy as much as they can in those wars. The whole point is to create a society and a world where most people's lives are worthless so that the in-group can feel better about themselves and their impulses.

Border security and humanitarian responsibility can coexist with thoughtful planning.
