“A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game — it’s sickening. … Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment, as if it’s just another piece of content to be swiped through while we’re waiting in line at the grocery store. …[W]e lose our humanity when we are thrilled by the destructive power of our military. ”

As more than 1,000 Iranian men, women and children lay dead after days of bombardment from U.S. and Israeli missiles, the official White House X account on Thursday evening posted a video of scenes from popular action movies spliced with actual strike footage from their war on Iran. The clip was captioned: “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY.”

@heidilifeldman Think of it this way: it's designed to appeal to those who will be cannon fodder.

@heidilifeldman More than 1000 innocent Iranian men, women and children murdered. Its a war crime in progress in an illegal war. Immoral and illegal. Those responsible should be prosecuted.

@heidilifeldman We don't need to be catholic to agree with these hard facts. Well said.

@heidilifeldman He didn't say enough. There's a picture of the Trumpistan gang praying for success before the attack. Why is he not saying that his god would reject that? That they are not christians, but simple evil.

@heidilifeldman Wow.

It's rare that I'll agree with the utterance of a religious cleric - *especially* any of the Roman Catholic hierarchy - but here we are: that's powerful.

Truth be told, he’s captured the nature of the right wing in a nutshell.

Epstein people do crime against humanity.

@heidilifeldman To the over-grown, mentally disturbed kids running our govt, it IS a video game. Even to those who, like *HIC!*seth, have served themselves. It's all part of their larger political game to amass and consolidate power, for their own sake. The soldiers and victims on the front lines aren't real people to them, and the countries are only lines on maps.
