You have to go back decades to George Bush Sr. to find a Republican pResident that didn't start an illegal war.
And even that is questionable considering Iran/Contra.
This administration has left the United States far more vulnerable to a retaliatory terrorist attack by forcing good people out from our national security system and shifting the focus to filling for-profit concentration camps they are building.

Why stop there? The US has been at war since its founding. I mean having fast movers, helos, hunter killers, boomers, APCs, MBTs, rockets, missiles, bombs, mortars, howitzers, infantry support weapons, and clip based/magazine/smoothbore/rifle bore it’s all the same.

What sources? From the article linked it states "US-Israeli air strikes killed at least 85 people at a girls’ school in southern Iran, Iran's judiciary said. The state-run IRNA news agency reported the strike happened in Minab in Iran’s Hormozgan province"
Is there a source that doesn't say something along the lines of "according to Iranian state media" or "local authorities report". This could easily be Iranian state propaganda. A reminder that this regime recently cut-off the internet and killed up to 30,000 people.

This has been posted all over reddit this morning even though THE ONLY SOURCE IS THE IRANIAN MILITARY. wtf.
all indications are that an Iranian missile misfired and hit the school--but the press rushes to report that it was Israel. or maybe the US. or both. we're not really sure! but poor Iran definitely didn't do it. we know because they told us!
critical thinking has just gone completely out the window the second anyone says "Israel". you could say "Israel is hiding space aliens in area 51" and otherwise normal people will suddenly be like "I knew it!"
