Wait til you find out about what they did to the Koreans!

You’re not joking, holy shit. I did not realize that the Korean War was deadlier than the Vietnam War.

Yeah, I've heard strong arguments it constitutes a genocide.

As opposed to the IRGC which spent most of January busy killing thousands of it's own citizens?

Hmmm, did I say that they were the good guys? Maybe... just maybe reality exists beyond simple binaries and dichotomies.

Out of solidarity with Israeli war crimes, the US commits similar war crimes.

For fuck sake, make Orwell fiction again, please, I'm begging you!

Ahh, the Trump administration targeting more children. Guess they figure if they can't sex traffic and rape 'em, they'll kill 'em.

When China starts looking like the good guys by doing nothing at all - just let Trump ruin everything around him, while being a pos pedo turd while surrounded by retarded maga turds cheering him on - oh jeez that’s an open goal right there

Iran’s Mehr news agency reported that the strikes hit the vicinity of Shahid Baghaei Hospital in Ahvaz, prompting staff to move patients out of the facility as a precaution. The hospital is known for treating cancer patients, including children receiving chemotherapy.

Remember, children only matter to them when they can be used as a tool to oppress women. Which is when theyre in the womb.

Or when making excuses for mass surveillance.

Or when finding excuses to observe what's going on in their pants

A misguided (in multiple ways) attempt to prevent those kids from getting killed by cancer.

I don't know what's with Israel and US killing children 😔 first minab and now this and these are nothing compared to the amount of children killed in Gaza 😔

reaper drones were apparently designed to kill civilians, and not military targets like iranian targets.

I don’t know what’s with Israel and US killing children

Why did you leave out Iran?

February 12, 2026 — At least 216 children were killed during the Islamic Republic’s brutal crackdown on protesters in January 2026, when Iranian security forces unleashed live ammunition, military-grade weapons, knives, and machetes to kill thousands of protesting civilians.

Because we all know why Iran is doing it. They're a brutal theocracy ruling by fear, so killing even children to maintain power is normal and expected.

That probably applies to Israel at this point, too, but they are more of a conquering colonial power, which is slightly different.

The USA? It's unclear. Killing Iranian children is very counter-productive for their interests.

The USA? It’s unclear.

They elected a retard?

To be fair they also didn't strike the hospital

Iran's Mehr news agency reported that the strikes hit the vicinity of Shahid Baghaei Hospital in Ahvaz, prompting staff to move patients out of the facility as a precaution. The hospital is known for treating cancer patients, including children receiving chemotherapy.

Cancer is DEI /s

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 40d

Not /s.

NCI used to have 1000-1100 research funding announcements a year. In 2025, they had exactly 11.

Now you got me thinking what weird mental gymnastics a MAGAt might come up with to claim that cancer "is your own fault" or something like that, and treating it is not manly.
