"Confirmed: Footage reviewed and geolocated confirms U.S. tomahawk missiles hit the girls' primary school..."

Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.

in a way similar to what we've seen become of many corporations and public services: it's been outsourced, with the private contractors firing all the human experts with in-depth knowledge and replacing them with people using AI but with little or no relevant personal knowledge.

The video also sets out a lot of other interesting analysis about the true state of our and other countries' war capabilities.

Also, there was a time in the past when that school building was part of the base.
Perhaps if a person was making the decision instead of a dumb effin' machine that school might not have been bombed.
The fault is all ours, both for killing all those kids, teachers, and administrators, and also for using such a dangerous new technology to make killing decisions for us.
All this for the glory of Lord Trump.
