We Bombed A Girls School With An AI Guided Tomahawk Cruise Missile

This fucking isn't being reported on the news;

There were survivors after the first strike, the teachers gathered the girls together to be picked up by their parents, then, 20 minutes later, the fucking double tap missile killed them.

The leaders of Iran are horrible people as well as many of the grownups, but this is brutal.

As they say in the ME, an eye for an eye. This war will be over when Iran says it's over.

Krasnov is the biggest traitor by far this country has ever had. Honest to the gods, I hope that gasoline gets to 7 dollars a gallon, that may be what it takes to get rid of him, every fucking Republican is a traitor.

1. AI was set up to be the fall guy in the fustercluck OpenAI versus Anthropic business JUST BEFORE the attack.

Some "coincidence"

DoD/DoW to be renamed "Department of IT'S NOT MY FAULT"

There's always a checklist of fall guys.

Trump betrays everyone close to him, or who trusts him, starting with his wife.

3. There's no amount of justice in the world appropriate enough for Trump and Hegseth.

May these two psychopaths rot in hell and answer to Satan. Fuck both of them.

Trump would spend all his time telling Satan he knows more about hell than anyone else, and Hogsbreath would try to kick all the women and minorities out because DEI doesn’t belong in hell.

6. I think the "AI guided" bit is misleading - not on your part Gab

The AI thing has been one explanation I've heard as well, but in practice that's not how it works...
AFAIK AI is used as a secondary confirmation. It is, after all, flawed and the navy knows this. The real question is
who provided the navy with the baseline coordinates to be double checked by "AI" (if indeed that isn't just bullshit)? It is known that allies will share coordinate data. Was the targeting data US sourced - or did it come from a third party. The NYT did a piece on this and if IIRC, the compound where the girl's school was had been formerly military - but it (the school) was separated out and walled off about 10 years ago (2016). Hence this was inexcusably old data. What state in the region would maintain the latest targeting data? What state has already been guilty of bombing elementary schools of the enemy and has repeatedly said "Oops!"? There are very disturbing elements of this whole story that are not being investigated.

8. Misleading to say the Tomahawk was guided by AI.

1980's vintage Tomahawks could have easily carried out this mission. The crime was in the target selection (and the decision to multiple-tap it). That was at a minimum depraved indifference to innocent lives. And very possibly William-Calley-level war crimes

9. Bombed Iranian girls school had vivid website and yearslong online presence

I also can't find the article at the moment, but a source i considered reputable reported that satellite images from 2018 or so clearly showed that it had been walled off from the compound -- and included a visible play area.
