    True, but no state cares about dead civilians. Not one.

    Iran was killing its civilians wholesale for protesting before the US invaded and covering up the reporting of it so numbers couldn’t be tabulated.

      What does “killing civilians wholesale” even mean? The only reporting we have about this is from Mossad, so I am skeptical about the claims. Iranian channels claim they rooted out and killed Mossad agents and killed their provacateors in the streets.

      Oh yeah and invading did so much good for Afghanistan and iraq. They’re totally not under the thumb of religious zealots anymore right now.

        Don’t mistake me here.

        I am not pro-war. In fact, I’m 100% anti-war except in one’s literal own defense. (Including proxy wars like Ukraine.)

        At the same time, it’s just kind of absurd to present that the USA is somehow unique in their lack of caring for how their bombs kill civilians.

          But the US and Israel are unique in starting wars in which civilians are massacred wholesale. There’s only really on handful of countries on earth that still do this barbaric conquest shit.
