Did President Donald Trump order a deadly military strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran because the Pentagon was using an out-of-date map?

I doubt that Trump is targeting anything beyond "Iran", he can't lead a military operation in any capacity.
He couldn't manage a McDonald's.

The only thing he runs is his mouth.

And his pants
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works · 16 pts · 174d
Yeah, the idea he's ordering specific strikes doesn't ring true to me.
SaltySalamander@fedia.io · 17 pts · 174d
I'm willing to bet that Palantir is what's telling them where to strike.
Maeve@kbin.earth · 7 pts · 174d
He's not in charge, either.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 174d
The only reason he even remembers McDonalds is because it has so much his name.
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 39 pts · 174d
I’m betting they asked Claude or Grok or whatever Palantir’s FORINT/Secret Police model is and didn’t bother doing any additional auditing whatsoever because “AI is amazing” 😬

They are starting to do this where I work. It is going to be an absolute disaster.

It is 95% fiable do not worry. Another guy will catch the 5%

I think they ordered a strike on a girls school because they thought it would be funny to show how non-woke they are. Remember: these guys are as evil as they are stupid.

Yeah, hanlon's razor does not apply when dealing with actively malicious people and, uh, the last ten years...

Most building roofs don't tell you that much. Especially in a city with multi-tenant buildings.
towerful@programming.dev · 12 pts · 174d
You're telling me recon of the area never showed kids playing outside the building?!
What are they using, Google fucking maps?
Creddit@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 174d
It is very common for buildings in Iran to be surrounded by high cement walls and fully enclosed courtyards, even private residences. This is partly due to their oppressive regime and a desire to keep having parties and generally normal private indoor lives.
Maeve@kbin.earth · 1 pts · 174d
Because starlink can't see over, amirite? Grfooh
Creddit@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 173d
No, it often cannot. That's what I mean by "fully enclosed", and I can see how you might have thought I just meant walls and no roof. I should have been more clear, but I was trying to differentiate between just having walls vs having full private enclosure for recreational spaces, which is common in Iran and also in a good chunk of other countries.
Schools or gyms often do have roofs as well, with vents or small/high windows for air circulation but no way to actually see inside because physical privacy is especially valued in Iran - not just because of the government but also because of cultural and religious traditions.

Taking satellite pictures at an angle though gives you quite a bit of information.
mlg@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 173d
Buddy they literally have a 24/7 live video feed available, with enough resolution to make out a sheet of paper.
That's how they kept their eyes on the supreme leader's exact movements.
China even published snapshots of a ton of locations immediately after they were struck.

Western media and trying to justify western war crimes. Name a more iconic duo. You can't.
imrighthere@lemmy.ca · 18 pts · 174d
america and shooting school kids. I did.
UniversalBasicJustice@quokk.au · 7 pts · 174d
Aren't those the same duo though? I'm pretty sure America justifying killing children and American justifying killing children are the same picture.
Drusas@fedia.io · 8 pts · 174d
Explaining is not the same as justifying.

The Trump Administration and incompetence. Name a more iconic duo.

He did exactly what was intended.

with Krasnov, never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.
Maeve@kbin.earth · 13 pts · 174d
Oh 🐂 💩. He did it because the Zionists do it and their people applaud them, and because the USA is extremely comfortable with genocide, since founding. Ask the few remaining unmixed indigenous here, if they can be found.

This sort of thing happens every time we bomb the middle east, because we simply don't give a fuck about civilians without moneyed interest. This is a feature of middle east wars because their lives are valued less. The white supremacists must be thrilled though, none of those girls will ever make non-white babies to replace them.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 173d
That would be unsurprising. I recall during the W admin, maybe Obama I just remember where I lived, they did a drone strike on a "militant group" that they did a typo on the name but blew up and killed the wrong group including their families and children and a wedding, and oh yeah they were totally militants after the fact but no one had heard of them before.
It's just Standard Operating Procedure for the US Military I guess is my point.

If that’s “terrifying” what is it called if they intentionally targeted the school?

They're all evil from trump on down to the peon or pilot who pulled the trigger.

He raped children.
Now he's killing them.

Trump and his cabinet are so inept he is asking reporters/columnists what he should do with Iran. All because he believes Bibi's 30yrs of lies regarding Iran being "close" to having nuclear weapons.
Carmakazi@piefed.social · 3 pts · 174d
It was close enough to a military base that one might extrapolate that it was a deliberate act of state terror on Iranian military families.

Ok Zionist. For the record, Mossad HQ sits under a posh apartment complex.
Siegfried@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 173d
Well, last time i heard of an american war crime, the yankees took like 2 months to admit that those terrorists loading weapons into a truck were actually humanitarian help sorrounded with children, loading water into a truck... if this is the real reason, i call it progress
Well done americans!

I’d wait to point blame over this, we have no idea what happened. The Iranians were murdering thousands of their own civilians just a few weeks ago, they’re hardly a reliable source of information. They’re obviously going to inflate the numbers and craft a story to whatever helps the regime.
ZiggyTheZygote@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 174d
Old maps? More like future maps. And killing civilians, mainly children, has always been used by the USI. To me it seems to say that they can do it, and no one will stop them, or stand in their way, because they'll do the same to those who oppose. Kind of like don't fuck with us because we have no boundaries when it comes to death and destruction, and we are above the law mothafuckas. We rape and eat babies, we are the monsters!
