They already had a process that could have prevented the murder of hundreds of children

It was a human review group for chosen targets

They got rid of them, on purpose

That's negligent homicide

btw you'll notice that billion dollars per day of bombing for months now has also changed absolutely nothing

just like decimating Iraq changed nothing, Afghanistan war changed nothing, Vietnam war changed nothing, Korean war changed nothing

each time a President would never learn, only double down in cost and lives

it's almost like war changes nothing, just kills a whole lot of innocent people

unless that's actually the point

which would be a war crime

the pause in the war now is only because they need to develop a billion dollar bunker-buster for pickaxe mountain and then it's back to accidentally killing civilians by negligence again

meanwhile we are starving Cubans to death via illegal blockage for no reason, only the cruelty is their point

if the Dems do not get the Senate, imagine this country by 2029

>That's negligent homicide

Trump has repeatedly threatened Iranian civilians. He has repeatedly said he will attack civilian infrastructure and has made genocidal comments—"a whole civilization dies tonight", as I recall.

Accepting "collateral damage" and using automated systems that are known to identify bogus targets is guaranteed to kill civilians. The fact that the killing is random and the ostensible objective is legitimate does not change the outcome. If the actual goal were to kill civilians, that could be accomplished with deliberately sloppy airstrikes on deliberately uncertain targets, with negligence serving as a smokescreen. You could assuredly carry out a campaign of genocide or terror using overly aggressive airstrikes on uncertain targets.

The actual outcomes of these airstrikes align with our president's stated goals. I don't necessarily believe this is coincidence.
