I feel like with all the discussion of oil prices we're kinda forgetting the murders of over a hundred schoolchildren at the Minab school. I really want some journalistic institution to run a profile of one of those children every single day. say their names, show their pictures, and remind everyone that the US military murdered them for no discernible reason.
if you're a fellow American, they could be your kids. if he keeps going with the war crimes that he has announced, they might _be_ your kids when a coalition of China and Europe has to invade Washington to take Trump and Hegseth into custody and stop us. it feels like we are all too panicked all of the time but given how bad this might get we are _really_ not panicked enough
@glyph P.R." China won't do diddly-piss, Russia wants that shit and the EU is led by cowards unwilling to admit that the Orange Tyrants' Regime is a danger to it's survival!
@kkarhan in the status quo, I agree, but I feel like if he kills ten million civilians via strikes on infrastructure this calculus may change

@glyph

I would really enjoy seeing a coalition invade DC and shooting every goddamn politician in the head. Including all the Democrats, too. They helped get us here!

@glyph Nobody’s coming to save you. Deal with what your fellow citizens voted for.
@glyph I guarantee that any western media outlet (especially in the US) would very quickly find themselves facing massive financial backlash for doing so. The people controlling the money would be very upset.
@me The counterpoint to that is that the coin of the realm right now is attention, and I bet they could get a _lot_ of attention for doing it
@glyph Maybe? Nobody seems to be willing to take that gamble, though.
@me yes, and it is frustration at that exact fact that I am expressing here
@glyph is this the school that shared a wall with a military base?
@platymew if you want to be pedantic about it, it was a school that was adjacent to a former military compound that had been closed for years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_attack and I really hope you have some reason to mention this other than to justify this atrocity

@glyph I don't justify dick-measuring right wing governments - all 3 conflict participants are nuts, if you ask me.

I was questioning the wisdom of the Iranian regime, in particular. (I should've phrased it a bit better.)

@glyph The Guardian's Today in Focus podcast had a moving piece a few days ago: https://audio.guim.co.uk/2026/04/02-66353-20260403TIFminab.mp3
@glyph
They won't, because Muslims aren't considered human beings by most people in the US.
