Ex-senior official suspects Trump to 'bury horrific' incident that killed children: report

A former senior Pentagon official sounded the alarm on Sunday over their belief that the Trump administration was likely to bury an internal investigation into an incident that coincided with the launch of the U.S. war against Iran, an incident one Democratic lawmaker described as “one of the most horrific episodes” of the “illegal Trump war.”

Trump’s Operation Epic Fury began with “double tap” strikes on Shajareh Tayyebeh, an Iranian girls’ elementary school, which killed at least 156 people, 120 of them children. Trump initially blamed Iran for the strikes before it became clear that a U.S.-made Tomahawk missile was used in the attack.

While the U.S. military is reportedly still investigating the incident, several former Pentagon and national security officials “expressed doubt” to The Guardian for its report published on Sunday that the results of the investigation would ever be made public.....

“The US strike [on the girls’ elementary school] is one of the most horrific episodes of the entire illegal Trump war in Iran,” Ansari said.

“Donald Trump is hiding the truth from the American people and Congress, and deflecting blame to Secretary Hegseth, because he does not want the public to know the true horrors of what he unleashed on the Iranian people with absolutely nothing to show for it.”

1. Of course he did. The Pentagon's love affair with unregulated AI made that pretty obvious.

3. And where did that A.I. driven targeting information come from?

Good chance it was from Peter Thiel’s Palantir. The school was located where an Iranian
Military facility USED TO BE there.

2. Revenge generated from those dead girls will stretch far into the future.

"Qisas," retaliation in kind. Trump escalated a cycle of violence tantamount to a holy war that will take generations to account for. The entire Middle East will remain unstable so all of Iran's neighbors will suffer despite their vast oil revenues. This continuing instability will complicate oil production and transportation so an increased pursuit of energy alternatives must eventually make the gulf states irrelevant with less power over the global economy as this form of energy becomes replaced. This will take some time but during this transition there will be lots of pain to people and economies. Even if our ship of state is steered on a better course after the midterms and beyond, there will be troubled waters ahead as our former allies have a hard time trusting the US again after seeing Trumpism nearly defeat our democracy and cause such great harm to the world.

4. This, in addition to being an accused rapist of at least one minor,

and an accused witness to the disposal of a murdered baby's body in a lake,

and the internment of women and children in concentration camps,

AND the estimated half A MILLION children worldwide who have or will die as a result of Trump's murder of US Aid.

Quite a track record for the maga 'prince of peace' who's proud of his being compared to Hitler and the like.
