This one definitely tops when we bombed the Drs Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan about a decade ago.

There needs to be a exhaustive investigation to see if this was even an accident. There are many extremists in both the Israeli and US govt who would the think the strike a valid strategy to reduce the number of future combatants.

We have so many stains on our soul already…

TRUMP is a permanent stain on the US Soul (what's left of it).

It was deliberate. A cynical attempt to inflict as much cruelty and pain as possible with no military purpose aside from terrorism. It was intended to signal to Iranians as well as Americans that we will ignore conventional international laws and humanity and are willing and eager to fight dirty.

VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!! And tell anyone and everyone you know to VOTE these evil criminals OUT!! That's the only way we can begin to repair the incalculable damage that's been done to all humanity by the obscene orange monster & his sycophants. Yes, Nuremberg Trials 2.0 cannot happen soon enough!

We’re going to pay dearly for all of this long after MAGA is gone.

If everyone involved in this war, from the politicians to the generals, do not go to jail for this then we are doomed as a country. Failing to punish the crime of the Iraq war is why we are where we are now. Never again. Michael Mirdraghi's murderers must face justice.

Very moving

Why not blame AI? Computer output is only as good as human input. Just look at DOGE, for example. Teens lacking life experience destroyed generations of data integrity, putting personal identities and security at risk. Machines have no morality, but programmers make choices that have consequences.

Ah well if the AI did it, can we charge the AI with a crime? See where this becomes a problem quickly?

Shame! Shame on this horrible evil murderous regime!

I remember seeing after a cruise missile attack (I think it was on Libya) a clip of a father holding his dead five year old and screaming "I hate you America." And the very first thought I had when the Twin Towers were hit some years later: "I wonder if that dad was flying one of those planes."

Thank you Will for speaking the truth. And f*ck you to everyone who brought this into being. Through their choices, actions, and inactions.

Ответ для Christian Petersen

America is now the shithole country the nazi president talked about!!

I agree ☝🏽

Amen. Even if it was AI targeting, the blame resides with the human decision to use the error-prone AI which made the devastating error. These right wing freaks constantly question and deny simple empirical facts, yet now have unwavering faith in all things AI. Tech-bro worshipping fools.

Ответ для SteveG

I will not concede that this was an 'error'.

The *thing* calling itself Trump, has strangled the soul of America and choked the life out of our alliances. Congress is a useless body full of spineless actors, pretending strong letters and hearings will keep democracy intact. We have to get busy and make sure mid-terms HAPPEN!

Ответ для cheuph

When, exactly, was USikkka not genocidally evil?

I blame US decision makers first, AI-use second. Do not give AI a break until it is regulated.

Guardian: “Rap and EDM. Clips from action movies...displays from video games...the WH has ..an online propaganda campaign that ... is about reaching a rather niche domestic audience: young rightwing American men who spend a lot of time online.” This is real life, America. Heaven help us.

So, now we're blaming computers?

america the new nazi regime against the world please prove me wrong and my question is exactly how far are they going to go to cheat on the Mid Terms because if they somehow beat the nazies so bad we just might have a start of a new country course djt will veto everything unless we win so crazy 🙏💪👍🗽

sickos

The parents of these kids are not just going to accept this as normal. They want justice. Who could blame them?

It *was* a precision strike, right on the rooftree. Whether they knew it was a school, or just didn't know it wasn't, they meant to destroy it and kill anyone inside.

Ответ для Dell R. "Dell" Adams

They knew. They ABSOLUTELY knew it was a school. Killing children to demoralize the people was the WHOLE POINT. That is Israeli tactics 101.

I wanted to argue that we should include AI in the blame because I am angry at the AI/LLM industry for what it is doing to all humans, but you are right. Focus on the humans responsible for this senseless war.

And just like, an entire generation of Iranians have a new and 100% legit reason to hate America.

Never forgot that 40 mins after this attack they did a double tap..

“Iran did it” And just like that Republicans dismiss their war crime

Thank you for this

If it is an AI error, you do get how that’s WORSE, right?

Thank you, Will. No such thing as an "AI error." No such thing.

Bombing schools is a choice.

God bless the children.

Trump did this.

The Orange Emporer Palpatine is so cruel bc he needs a lot of hate coming from the Iranians. He needs a forever war to prevent the midterms and all future elections from happening.

I don't care if it was AI, or a random dude in a bunker in Saudi Arabia. Hague.

they bombed it once and 40 minutes they bombed it again

Of there is any justice in this world, the ghosts of those girls would haunt anybody and everybody in this administration who empowered Trump or failed to stop him.

This regime doesn’t care about the mass murder of *American* school kids, let alone Iranian children. Collateral damage.

Like Putin, Trump has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Jay W

It’s wild that it goes: Girls school blows up at same time Iran base next to it blows up Trump claims Iran did it because they have “inaccurate missiles” Reporter turns to Hegseth to confirm… Hegseth then contradicts Trump saying, Iran intentionally bombed it, then grins/nods like “nailed it!”

Yeah but we also need to blame AI or they’re gonna keep using that shit. I blame AI and the humans who put it in place. The AI has to go and the humans need to be out of positions of power and if applicable and guilty, in jail

What about the second tap?

They want us to blame the AI, and not the people responsible. Bullshit. If you use shitty tools and give them shitty inputs, you are just as responsible as ever, but also guilty of incompetence and negligence.

And the Felon in Chief lies about it and his toadies spread the disinformation. We are so besmirched by Trump and the Republican Party today it is not clear we will ever be forgiven by the world

Ok but I’ll also blame the ai because what the fuck

A human is still responsible even if they are not held accountable

I mean, maybe don’t farm something this fucking lethal out to AI in the first place. At least if a human fucks it up, there’s (theoretical) accountability.

We can blame the administration AND AI.

Ответ для Suspect is Hatless

Blame Trump. He is solely responsible for this war.

Ответ для AmyinMN🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇦🇵🇸🇨🇺🇱🇧 🇭🇺

Withhe sole exception of *some* German Nazis in WWII, when have we ever prosecuted the war crimes of Western nations?

They knew exactly what they were doing

AI error sounds worse because that would mean they couldn't be bothered to double-check on something where literal lives are on the line. Especially considering that, so far, AI has been notoriously wrong.

Someone humane made the decision to follow the recommendation(s) made by a soulless AI in the first place. Someone made the initial inputs to get those suggestions. Someone needs to be held responsible, or there will be a new excuse: "I was just following the suggested AI solutions."

Look, fuck those particular humans, but fuck their AI too.

I find it impossible to believe that the US military knew it was a school and bombed it. Much more likely is that they messed up the map, or the guidance goofed. Still it is a horrible act in an illegal war, and those involved need to be questioned.

That’s what it is to these brainless posers with their video game mentality. It’s reprehensible beyond belief. Everyone in this regime is trying to outdo the others in outrageous ways. They can’t believe they were ever given this kind of power and they want to be remembered. Oh, they will be! 😡🤬

I’m really hoping it wasn’t a planned setup to double tap the site 40 minutes apart. But these missiles are deadly accurate. As horrific as this is, it may be even more so. In which case we are talking stratospheric war crimes.

“Christian nation” doncha know🫤

You're right. But you're talking about a country that seems ok with shrugging its shoulders when someone kills a bunch of kids at a school because 2A or something stupid like that. Don't expect too much from Trump's country

Ответ для flierdave

Yeah...most of us don't think this is okay. This absolutely abhorrent, shameful & grotesque. About 30-35% still support this madness, and that's his bigoted, hard-core base. Even this is fast-dwindling, because they did not want any new wars, as he promised. Protests will *steadily increase*

Blaming AI is propaganda that A) obscures who made the. Targeting decision B)smears Anthropic. The best reporting indicates that they deliberately hit the girls school to lure their fathers.

Yeah, i dont know how "bright" their future would have been, but it is sad. War sucks but, so does tyranny. Those "7,000" protesters were fighting for a future. A bomb that missed a tyrant that hit, all bad.

Ответ для Greg Todd

Plenty of weddings were "precision strike"d under his watch though, so... Same shit, same institutions.

AI is not an excuse, if no human validated the AI, they are simply negligent.

Our military leaders know exactly who struck that school, twice. The second was 40 minutes later, to take out rescuers. There is probably gun camera footage. I don’t blame the pilots or even the targeters who had poor information. I blame the idiots who thought attacking Iran was a good idea.

Don’t forget the double tap.

Ответ для honestdenverman

We are part of the axis of evil now.

Ответ для honestdenverman

Don't forget Hegseth and Miller celebrating these murders.

Ответ для honestdenverman

It's in there

This is a stain on America forever Unforgivable

Other country doesn't make the people lesser as trump and the fanatics lead as a belief. Been a long time arrogant opinion for centuries. Common thread here, Americans kill American school children, now killing children who aren't American. America kills children who could have been born anywhere.

This happened because Trump bombed Iran without cause. Money, power or popularity motivate him. As to whether Trump, Hegseth et al. would be reckless enough to use untested AI software to pick targets, we all know the answer to that. Regardless, they own the death of these innocents and others.

WTF is Congress doing?? This is complete madness! Where are all the much-vaunted checks and balances to stop these lunatics?? This is a fascist cult!

Oh it’s not a game. It’s what a desperate tddc does when he’s cornered and knows there’s no way out and justice is coming for him and his MANY enablers. He wants others to pay for his sins including the most innocent and defenceless. The truest definition of an evil despicable predatory monster.

Their elementary school was part of a military base. Standard strategy of those soulless monsters, be they Hamas or the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Mind that in this war, every side is evil.

Waiting for condolences from the government.

Thank you, Will! ❤️ 💙 💜 🙏

meanwhile, at the Vichy Times, it has already moved on from this war crime. No follow up, just sanewashing everything he does--such as Shawn McCreesh piece lying that Trump was "solemn" at dignified transfer (no mention that USA cap is Trump merch) www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/u...

Trump Witnesses Return of Bodies of 6 U.S. Service Memberswww.nytimes.com

I remember when my daughter was a little girl. My heart aches.

If only the Trump Admin had a soul…

“They had faces that flashed with the unblemished softness of youth and bright smiles that look no different than the impish grins you might find at the elementary school near your own leafy American neighborhood, beaming toward a future they will not live to see.“

Holy shit are they actually blaming AI for this?! I can’t… well I guess I can actually believe it but it doesn’t make it any less insane

bsky.app/profile/nmwi...

Dr Nick

I guess there were a lot of targets. But even in principle, the answer to "the AI got it wrong" is "so what? that's a you problem" Like if I let my hamster choose targets by crapping on a big map, and then blamed the hamster for my crappy targeting choices

it has be on America's soul as Trump and his minions don't have one

Twice. We killed the rescuers too. Putin style. That was VERY purposeful. I’m hoping that karma sweeps through the Trump and Hegseth families - eternally.

Agreed💯! America can’t hide behind AI any more than it hid behind Israel’s atrocities funded by our money and weapons. If AI’s involved, we funded it. Responsibility is ours.🤦🏿‍♂️

The next movement in America won’t be left vs. right—it'll be America First. As someone who was pro-Israel, I've learned you can’t be pro-Israel & America First.

stop blaming ai. this is on humans jn the trump administration. you are excusing their responsibility

That's why have AI. It's for blame shifting

If you voted Republican then you can voted for this.

I also blame those who voted for “him”.

So you push state propaganda from the islamic nazi regime. 🤡

word is they used 'outdated' maps - something you'd expect from the Department of 'War' lead by unqualified, egomaniacs... 😈☠️

Also blame AI

I mean... I don't say this to excuse the behaviour or to diminish the tragedy, but to underline that there is no 'soul' to be stained: this is standard operating procedure for the USA. Cf the landmines in Laos and Cambodia that the US continues to do nothing about, as just one example.

I’m so ashamed to be an American.

War is always bad. Anyone who says otherwise is pushing an AGENDA. Remember that. War always hurts the poor, women, children & the elderly the most. It often brings out the worst in people. We’re living in extremely violent & perilous times. I’m trying to choose HOPE. I don’t always succeed. ☮️💙💔😢🤷‍♀️

Ответ для YvetteJR718☮️💙♋️ ♎️❌

Heartbreaking and so true 🙏🫂

The U.S. has been doing this shit longer than I’ve been alive. That doesn’t make this any less of a tragedy but I am sick of this bullshit framing of atrocity as an anomaly instead of the status quo for this deeply sick nation

The bombs were precise. They hit their intended targets. AI "suggested" targets and humans accepted those "suggestions". The only purpose of AI in this equation is as a deflection of responsibility.

#TrumpKillsChildren

Little girls died in a war America did not need to be a part of while Republicans defend Trumps warmongering and Hegseth literally celebrates death and destruction. What has America become?!

Not an accident. Inasmuch as we have precision weapons and the military installation next to the girls school had been vacated, it hard to think this was anything other than a deliberate first strike by the US to provoke a war. Rapist Trump hates girls and women as does Hegseth.

There should be an inquiry to find out the chain of command involved in sending those Tomahawk missles. Every person involved, from the top to the bottom, should receive the appropriate punishment.

Trump is a monster.

They bombed it 40 minutes later to catch everyone coming to assist and find their children. None of it was a mistake. All of it was psychotic, serial killer shit.

Pete Hegseth — ogre number 1. The AI that targeted the school isn't the ogre. The jerk who set it loose is.

Well said 😞

If Israel did this to my family I would hate them forever. Zionism is not religious nor is it principled. And it is not at all part of Judaism. It is a political movement that is utterly misguided. If the nazi holocaust had not happened then maybe this war wouldn't have started.

If Napoleon hadn't inspired German nationalism or Roman historian Tacitus hadn't used the "Nobel Savage" trope to describe germanic tribes, this war wouldn't have started. This kind of reasoning is fruitless.
