@jwildeboer He is unable to take responsibility for shameful actions. He does them without hesitation, then proudly presents kindergarten-level cover stories.

@jwildeboer Unless Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, or Japan, are playing silly buggers the use of a Tomahawk narrows it down pretty quick. If there was some degree of remorse and admission they'd made a mistake (due to proximity to IRGC facility), but to continue to lie about it is sickening. It reminds me of the al-Amiriyah shelter bombing, but at least then they didn't try to claim the Iraqis bombed it.

@jwildeboer the pararell with Russia and USA is astonishing. Both attacked independent countries claiming it's because of national security, both are targeting civilian population and infrastructure, both are commiting war crimes, both are interested mostly in resources and started a war to satisfy their leaders wet dreams about dominance. Only real difference is that Ukraine is a democracy, while Iran is a totalitarian regime. But in the end Trump is just America's Putin.

@jwildeboer And the bomb dropped 40 mins later to designed to kill rescuers who were picking up the dismembered limbs? This approach seems to be what a (poor-quality by definition) "AI" system would suggest.
Use of AIs in target selection in Iran are documented by the WSJ.

@jwildeboer Great question. But the answer was a lie. Id have been more interested had the reporter pushed back.

@jwildeboer I'm sure they bought on the black market a full warship, accessorized with an experienced crew, to be sure to launch a missile right there. Afterwards they bought almost all the western media channels, with all the journalists, and directed them to spread lies. All of it just to win a risiko game.

@jwildeboer Ugh. It was probably the US that bombed girls' schools in Afghanistan, not ISIL, as the Taliban claimed after they closed them out of respect for human life.

@jwildeboer When I first saw the account of a missile hitting a school, there were several possibilities including (1) it was a U.S. missile, (2) it was an Israeli missile, and (3) it was an Iranian missile, probably aimed at U.S./Israeli aircraft, that malfunctioned. There is apparently a nearby military target. Not that which possibility it is matters - it wouldn't have happened if the U.S and Israel hadn't started a war.

@jwildeboer he famously doesn't enjoy taking the time to understand the details of what's going on. It was heavily reported during his first term that he preferred to skip daily briefings, and as far as we can tell that hasn't changed: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/09/trump-intelligence-briefing-frequency-00338946
