To help ensure potential targets are valid military objectives & not civilian, there's the Civilian Harm Mitigation & Response (CHMR) program. CHMR was gutted approximately 90% in 2025. The US likely hit the girls' school & killed 165-180 people (mainly children) because of outdated targeting data.

With regard to Newsom, it is key for people to watch what he does, not what he says.
Agree overall with your broader point in any case.
Israel's extremism isn't geared to regional stability. Israel wants chaos, internal strife, and instability within the countries that individually and/or collectively challenge Israel's goals of regional hegemony and expanding the land it controls and annexes.
If the US military used AI to build a kill list of individuals (w/a 10-15% margin of error) & another AI to trigger a strike on each individual only once that person was home with their family (parents, spouse, children) so all of them were killed in the strike, would Americans be okay with that?
Chicago Archbishop issues a 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 as the tragedy of war is being treated & portrayed as a video game. He warns the longer we remain blind to the terrible consequences of war, "the more we risk losing the most precious gift God gave us: our humanity."

I'm always curious how people arrive at assessments and where they get their information. Thanks for responding, John.
We're a bit more than a week into what will be a much longer war. Why would Iran elect anyone other than someone in what you call the "old guard?"
It has already been announced, Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei is the new Supreme Leader. Why do you call him "radical?" Just curious.
CENTCOM just admitted to a 7th:
"Last night, a US service member passed away from injuries received during the Iranian regime’s initial attacks across the Middle East. The service member was seriously wounded at the scene of an attack on U.S. troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on March 1."
Iran had already nationalized its oil industry (1951) when the coup was executed in 1953 and, to your broader point, was why the coup happened.
Fake accounts with which narrative?
Second-oldest child, eldest son.
Is that a question for which you want answers or is it rhetorical and you are convinced they would if they could?
5 hours now.

Crazy to think she was out there in space, alone for 3 days in that tiny little sphere. 🧐
"Reminded not to engage in personalities against the President?" Is that what was said at the very end? If so, what does that mean?
Isn't he? While it was by no means the most important thing I took away from watching this video (or the full version), when his arm snapped, he didn't make a sound. 😮
Which top HRC is that? Thanks.
Miriam Makeba, "Mama Africa," was a South African singer whose voice stirred hopes of freedom among millions in her country with music that was banned by the apartheid authorities she struggled against.
She was born #OTD in 1932. #WHM #WomensHistoryMonth
Guilty as charged. As a war crimes investigator, yes and for good reason, I am really into commenting on Israel. You can (again) doubt that's what I do, but that doubt would say more about you than me.
The Browns? 😮 Surely you say that in jest.
It was sarcasm...as the US is the only country where there is any real debate or denial about it. A testament to the degree to which the narrative the US on the topic is manipulated.
Is this (Israel being an apartheid state) something denied, debated, and/or controversial in the US?
When members of Congress ask these people about their past statements, they need to have the recording of it teed up to play on a big screen as soon as the person denies they ever said it.
It is not surprising or shocking they would do this after they gleefully slaughtered the equivalent of a classroom of children each and every day for 2+ years in Gaza.
And it wasn't just Iraq. Israel never met a country in the region it didn't want to control in one form or another by using the US militarily, politically, and/or financially.
No, he did not.
