So we’re just going to pretend like Bush, Obama and Trump aren’t guilty of this?
No one ever points out that we have our own Taliban. Just the Christian version.
The greatest threat to world peace is the US Empire. So long as people keep voting for the Democratic Party and Republican Party, nothing will fundamentally change politically or economically for most Americans. If people want progressive change then they have to vote for new ideas, candidates, and political parties. There also needs to be massive strikes and protests. #DemExit #GOPExit #PeoplesParty #GreenParty
First time I've watched you. Terrible acting, when "news casting" should not be an act. Do some investigating yourself and stop piggybacking off other platforms.
A certain amount of collateral damage — that is, unintended human deaths — is unavoidable in the conduct of war, especially in the modern era of asymmetric warfare wherein jihadis hide among civilian non-combatants. Every death of an innocent is a tragedy. And there is a greater detachment from the human toll when using remote drone strikes. All of that said, there obviously were multiple screw-ups involved in this particular strike and its aftermath–at both the military and political levels. These retaliatory strikes must be approved by senior civilian leadership, especially in high-profile situations such ad this one. Clearly the pressure to retaliate quickly in the aftermath of the president's public relations debacle at the Kabul airport played a role, and the White House's silence after it was obvious we had killed an innocent family and not ISIS militants speaks volumes as to the political leadership's involvement.
I agree with Obama, “never underestimate Biden’s ability to f*** things up.”
they call this as a collateral damage… nothing new, this is why Assange is being processed. nothing new, no guilty persons and ppl still sits in prisons without being charged.
Is this worse than pfizer wanting to wait 75 years before they release safety information they use to get the vaccines approved? At least theyre transparent about this one
Crime is very profitable and always pays off in the deepstate.
Complete war crime by the US Pentagon and the Generals. Now they're trying to get us in another fake war in Ukraine.
Now you know the answer to the question "Why They Hate Us ?"
This is how "terrorists" are made.
We need to convene a convention of states and use it to create an oversight institution that has punitive abilities for our military. Cops have civilian oversite boards, the military needs the equivalent. The deep state is too entrenched, we need to flex our collective political muscle and a convention of states is the most effective path forward.
The baby was muslim, so conservatives don't care.
This is America
This strike was meant to sent a message, it wasn't an accident.
Obama did this while I was in Afghanistan. The president of Pakastan wasn't playing ball so he signed orders to drop hellfire missiles on a hospital full of women and children, in Pakistan, a country we weren't even at war with and had no reason to engage.
When you trust taliban intelligence BIDEN IS A 🤡
Thank you so much for covering this topic i would have never known
And the MSM, The View, etc will give Sleepy Joe a pass because he's on their team
Nothing about this surprises me. And That makes me really really sad.
Biden outperformed our expectations of how bad he would fail ….he went above and beyond
And America keeps wondering why it has so many enemies in the Arab world.
That was months ago c'mon man
~probably Biden
Stories like this make me ashamed to be an American honestly..
Thank You for the Truth!
BS Trump did not drag us into war- only one that had not!
Democrats love drone striking people
USA
The United State's government has become the evil empire. Why is the US army even in 159 countries?
They didn't think he was a militant. They needed to do a drone strike and the news day was rolling along.
After the Assanges of the world are eradicated, they'll go about targeting journalists like the one who obtained footage of the victim going about his day. That's the next frontier. It's mechanistic. It's deterministic.
Wait was this another Drone Strike? or was this the same drone strike war crime that Biden launched in his early months of presidency?
So, when darker skinned people, ( both Americans, and others ), remark about callous whites, listen to them? And, don't be so critical of them for speaking out.
The US military is the biggest terrorist organization on the planet. No one matches their kill numbers among civilians. I feel sorry for how these kids are being used.
But but but….this only happens under Republican regimes…..right? Right???
how is this not terrorism?
