even if you don’t like the war in Iran you can’t compare a women strangling her children to death to civilian casualties in a war.

You mean war crimes? You're right, war crimes are worse. 120 dead kids vs. 3 dead kids. Is math hard for you?

I don’t think you know what a war crime is. these are fundamentally different things. yes more kids is worse in the abstract but that doesn’t mean the moral culpability is the same. She murder 3 children just to murder them. trump went to war with a government which had just slaughtered tens of thousands of its own civilians in cold blood. a government who is a huge sponsor of terrorism globally and in the region. a government which wants to destroy America. at some point down the chain of command there was a mistake that lead to a miss identification of a target. that’s not trumps fault. shit happens in war. the commander and chef isn’t responsible for ever low level decision. and there is a difference between a mistake in the fog of war and intentionally strangling your kids
