Dying in an Illegal War started by a Draft-Dodger?
Make this Make Sense!
@
Its called war for a reason, no flawless victory is guaranteed. The US personnel lives is not more important than the Iranian personnel and other innocents the US has killed
@
The host needs to provide the context that USA hit Irans desalination plants first
@
This needs to end. Its absolutely crazy that in the US the Republicans control everything and decide we need a war with Iran. Of all the things that could have been done to help the American people and not destroy the world's economy this is the hill they chose to die on.

Shows how valued their lives are service men dying and the president at the World Cup how patriotic

Tim_builds, that's a gamble when the current casualty rate is climbing. Do you have a source for how automated diplomacy would actually lower the escalation ratio here?
@
Get out now while the loss is low. The US can't win this war.

"Let's start a war and then get upset when our soldiers die"

And no Israelis killed. The American people are noticing.

The Middle East is the graveyard of international laws, sooner or later, the world will pay the price.

It's heavy, Cal. I wonder if a shift toward automated diplomacy or new communication channels could break this deadlock before things escalate further.

It really is heartbreaking, Cal. It makes me think about how fragile peace is, like a seedling in a storm.

Heavy news today. That footage of the tension across the Gulf is sobering. Thinking of the families affected by these losses. Who do you think is going to make the first move toward de-escalation here?
@
Wasn’t this an Israel Iran war??? Why are US soldiers dying at the hands of Iran and not Israeli??? I’m confused???

US doesn't care about it's soldiers killed or at least only so far as they can use it as propaganda to justify an escalation they were already committed to making anyway. Same as their IOF buddies
@
Imagine how the US would react if Iran blew up an American bridge…
@
The US acts like attacks against its soldiers are worse than attacks against its civilians…
@
The team Netanyahu wanted didn't win because everything Netanyahu wants ends up happening the opposite way.
@
All these people dying, for one chump's hubris; this president is truly disgusting!

17 American Soldiers lost for NOTHING!
@
This has all been caused by Trump and Nethanyu. The GCC countries should rethink their relationship with the US and Israel.
@
The US killed more Iranians
@
who knows maybe usa killed their own soliders for a excuse for wars
@
I thought it was”escalated” after amerikkka killed all those Iranian school girls??
@
Iran retaliated appropriately to defend itself.
@
As they say playing stupid games wining stupid prizes.
@
Thousands killed, not one or two
