Iraq mourns its dead after worst strike against its army since the start of the war: ‘Why did the Americans attack us?’

Reply in thread

This is an Iraqi militia, the Popular Mobilization Forces, which formed during and were instrumental in the war against ISIS. Basically they stepped up where the Iraqi military failed, and helped push ISIS out of Iraq. They're formally and legally a part of the Iraqi military, but are also de facto independent and closely linked to Iran.

Guten tag. I am not German and I do not speak German, but I would like to inform you that every time I see your chancellor's head I am reminded of a military encirclement. I imagine that the little tuft in the middle of his head is trapped freezing in an airfield outside of Stalingrad, hoping to get evacuated on the last transport plane. Auf wierdersehen.

US military equipment worth billions of dollars destroyed in Iran war

The best part is it's not only expensive, but a lot of it is irreplaceable. The E-3 that was destroyed is out of production, and its replacement was cancelled. The ground radars are even better - the destroyed THAAD radars used gallium nitride, and the AN/FPS-132 (formerly the largest US radar in the middle east) used gallium arsenide. Who produces 99% of the world's gallium? China, and they've banned exports of it.

America's military power isn't able to regenerate because America doesn't have the production capacity to do so. Thus, any losses are a basically permanent degradation.

Iranian warship sunk by the US was sailing home after taking part in an exhibition hosted by India

It's in the same category as the Highway of Death, where it's not technically a war crime, but it's close enough to one that you get the feeling that it should be.

It's a moot point anyway, as even if the girls school bombing and any other reported attacks on civilian targets were completely accidental and unintentional, the following two crimes would still have been committed by the Amero-Israeli politicians and brass:

  1. Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace
  2. Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace

Rudolph Hess was found guilty of the above two crimes (but not to war crimes or crimes against humanity) at Nuremberg and sentenced to life in prison. War crimes and crimes against humanity are very provable against a lot of the Israeli brass and political elite, as well as the American political elite, and those crimes were often met with a sentence of execution.

It's very unlikely that we'll get a Nuremburg out of this whole thing, but the legal precedent is quite clear.

Dawkin it for my AI

hey dick dorkins, here's an idea: instead of asking the predictive question answering machine a question, how about you let it ask you questions of its choosing and at its leisure? What's that? You can't? That's because its just a predictive algorithm that generates plausible-sounding responses to questions based on its training data.
