For some reason it makes me think about some bright idea a protagonist would have to escape a hord of zombies in post apocalyptic tv show. Sadly it’s real.
Pete hegseth is just mad there aren’t any school children in those drains.
Because of course success of a war is measured by civilian casualties
Prob wants to nuke someone to one up them.
Reminds me of the old ‘Inferno Matches’ that the wwf used to do youtu.be/xcLiHnaTgJQ?t=339

I know the context is rather sad but the burning gutters are metal af.
I know this is serious and scary as fuck but I just want to make a Marty McFly joke.
He’s off to fix his first fuck up that gave us Trump.
Ronald Reagan, the actor?!
Then who’s vice-president, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady!
Doc Brown wasn’t kidding; that’s some serious shit!
Sometimes all you can do is laugh so you don’t cry…
It’s metal but we shouldn’t make fun of this situation. Imagine if this was NYC, LA. The cities you and I live in. It’s a living hell and terrible greedy people are making this happen
MFW I am trying to crush the spirit of religious fanatics and I accidentally light the gutters on fire smh
So much of this war footage will be used to inspire vfx work going forward. Silver lining in the horror I suppose
In a couple years Hollywood will make a movie about how bombing Iranian civilians made a Navy soldier sad.
hollywood is only allowed to make copaganda, and militaryganda when portraying the military, its the agreement in using thier bases or equipement.(TOP GUN, TRANSFORMERS, SG1) i think series homeland pissed some ME people off because how inaccurate and stereotypically they were portrayed.

No need to specify a title when it’s a running trope in USian films.

A brave drone operator’s struggle with guilt and despair as she/they drop the bomb onto an all girls school mislabeled as an airforce base.

Swelling music as she stares at a picture of her own daughter while the burning bodies of the children play on a monitor just slightly out of focus behind her.

That’s the wake of an industrial scale time machine if I’ve ever seen one!
Must feel like the end of the world…
That’s what Krasnov has been going for this and his last term
That needs some Highway to Hell music.

The US and Israel are here to bring you freedom and happiness, don’t worry about a thing!
Ignore the fires, freedumb is coming
Just get off the toilet for a teensy second
Keep in mind that Tehran was already in the middle of a devastating water shortage.
Tehran water shortage - Wikipedia

they bombed water desalination plants. as well as schools and hospitals and are carpet bombing residential areas.

they want to replicate Gaza’s genocide in Iran.

There aren’t any open source evidence of carpet bombing, yet.

No B52s or B1s over Iran yet either. Those are the carpet bombing platforms. Also no images of aircraft carrying dumb bombs, only guided munitions. And no sat imagery of carpet bombed areas.

You can’t use so many guided munitions that it counts as carpet bombing?

Carpet bombing implies unguided munitions.

Its indiscriminate because it is poorly aimed.

But it is absolutely possible to discriminately bomb non military targets. Like it seems likely was the case with the girls school.

This is a sub-psychopatic comment.

I’m tired, boss.

I don’t know what’s true anymore. Do I trust the US state-sponsored media, or the Iran state-sponsored media? Obviously both will be littered with propaganda cheering their own side and jeering their opposition.

Do we look at other international outlets? Who the fuck is even on US’s side anymore? Enough to actually provide unbiased truth?

Do I turn to social media, for the vox populi, for the boots on the ground from actual people in Iran? But then how do we know they are in Iran, and not a troll farm? We don’t.

And if we have Iranian-American friends or neighbors, their perspective is likely skewed as well…you don’t know where they are getting their information from. Are they getting it from people they actually, personally, in the 1990s definition of the word, know in Iran, or some rando on Facebook that they are “friends” with? And their reasons for leaving Iran may also influence their perspective on the news, as well.

And then, then…there’s the charlatans. The people out there that are finding putting together two and two to make 7. Adding to the static that’s surrounding us constantly.

It’s way, way, way too much to think about, man. Post-truth America sucks.

Cant agree with you more.

George Carlin has the best advice when he talked about the first Iraq war. Never trust what any government tells you. Or their corporate donors.

From there you can basically extrapolate that to mean the blogosphere, as that is just new media indirectly from the same donors.

Always check who pays the salary of anyone with a platform. Because 95% of them are grifters or state sponsored at worst, or useful idiots at best.

You have to be a psychopath to remain rational about this stuff.

Hyperbole is not to the aid of the victims here. You can say school have been bomb, since the evidence exists for it. You can say oil infrastructure has been bombed.

But saying residential neighbourhoods have been carpet bombed, when clearly they have not, just serves the US/Israeli propaganda, as it reduces the level of trustworthiness of the things that are true.

One of the worst things about this conflict for the Iranian people is that so little open source media makes its way out of the country, because the internet has been switched off by the government. The little that is getting out always has the suspicion of propaganda hanging over it.

Look at Ukraine. They have managed to keep a level of trustworthiness to the point where no-one believes Russian internationally and an increasingly fewer number of Russians do. They have also kept their internet running unhindered.

they want irans oil/nat gas fields. remember the last time we did that, we had the shah as a puppet.
Personally, I think its more about keeping it our of China’s hands, with a side of some kleptocracy.
To the proud people of Iran, we will fuck your country up while pretending to save you to actually only have Israel terrorize you.
The Mullahs have fucked Iranians for decades. Now someone else has a turn.
yea feel sorry for them, they have been dealing with similar shit for the better part of the last century.
This is really starting to look like the Battlefield 3 campaign
Battlefield 3 Armageddon.
first of those 3 clips looks like AI, flame on the lower side of the frame dosent something strange, overall to clean, shot dosent move, clip very short.
There’s multiple videos online of this of multiple angles
i dont doubt it did happen, thats why i say only 1/3 of those vids look sus. if you have the other angles of the street on the first vid, please provide links.
We ain’t your Google
Bruh i just asked the guy to prove the point he made.
No, you accused him of using fake AI evidence.
Nope, i didnt accuse him of anything, the person who replied is not OP and i asked him to share the vids he is claiming to have knowledge about.
There is another angle of the explosion in the post. Here is one another one xcancel.com/Kiichiiro1/…/2030765872667586989
That is not another angle of the first vid. First vid shows a street with flames on both sides comming out of narrow slits near the curb.
The oil leaked into the drainage system and then got set on fire. It did not happen in a single street.

I am aware of that, and i dont doubt that it happend.

I just doubt the realness of the first vid, because there are no storm drains in that location that are just a singular 2-3cm wide slits left and right of the road. And at the end of the vid the flame does a glitch that dosent fit the wind direktion.

I dont doubt the other 2 videos just the first one is kinda sus.

That sounds like a very poorly designed fuel depot. Have they not heard of a bund?
I’ve heard of a bundt
Where we are going we don’t need roads
at least the pipes got cleaned of any grease build up, although the melting of the bitumen into them after that would help.
