So far, one F15, one A10 and one, maybe two Blackhawks lost.

[drray23]

And that is what is being made public. Good job, Donny and Pete!

So much for the bragging about having destroyed Iran's air defense capabilities. I am sure neither of these idiots is listening to the military leadership.

Speaking of this, is it legit to bomb civilian infrastructures like bridges, or is it a war crime? If so, why is the air force carrying out unlawful orders?

[SheltieLover]

1. And pootin claps & cheers

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

16. and gives direction!

[SheltieLover]

18. Of course pootin planned this & continues to orchestrate it.

Tsf is trying to have his own Viet Nam, imo.

2. Don't forget the AWACS destroyed on the ground

$700 million down the drain. Thanks, republicans.

[ruet]

5. And the F-15s lost to friendly fire. And ..

the 17 or so MQ-9 reapers shot down.

[paleotn]

14. And one KC-135 destroyed plus several others damaged.

Possibly beyond repair.

[Katinfl]

3. Bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crime.

Why the Air Force is carrying out these illegal orders I don’t know.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

6. Not always.

It's not automatically a war crime. Dual use infrastructure are legitimate targets if they serve a military purpose, function, or contribute to its effectiveness. Rules around proportionality still need to be followed as well as minimizing civilian casualties. But if the bridge is being used by the military, steps are taken to minimize civilian casualties, and its destruction won't disproportionally harm the civilian populace in comparison to the military advantage its destruction would give, then its not considered a war crime.

[reACTIONary]

11. Good analysis!

[Katinfl]

19. Do you think the US will follow the guidelines?

[wnylib]

10. Because the officers who opposed the bombing

were removed and replaced?

[James48]

23. In this case, yes.

Congress has not declared war.

Every Iranian killed right now is a war crime of an undeclared war- military action.

Under international law, every strike without a declaration of war violates the laws of legal war.

[walkingman]

4. Military force should only be used as a last resort to protect vital national interests, with a clear objective.

The loss of these aircraft and endangering their personal is the result of an Executive that is clearly demented. He should be removed from office before more lives are put at risk.

[SheltieLover]

20. How else could tsf lift ruskie sanctions on oil to please pootin?

[liberalla]

7. I think there will be more, much more, that will be revealed later... and it'll be shameful and shocking.

I'm ashamed of my country now... ( for the illegal actions and crimes it has committed )

[Botany]

8. And we have abandoned 13 of our military bases in and around Iran because we can't stop the Chinese

…. made drones that are getting targeting information from Russian satellites that Iran is using.

Btw

Trump,
“They (Iran) have no anti-aircraft equipment,”

[TheRickles]

9. And moved the personnel to hotels in the nearby towns.

Using civilians as shields, in other words.

[RetiredParatrooper]

13. Would you rather they remain exposed?

Just curious.

[MustLoveBeagles]

15. So am I

And as a daughter and granddaughter of immigrants I never thought I'd say that.

[TomSlick]

12. Wait, what?

I heard the Secretary of War Crimes say the Iranians had no surviving air defense capabilities.

So who downed these planes?

[Iggo]

17. Don't forget the AWAC.

[IronLionZion]

21. There's no money for healthcare or education or social programs

but Donny is asking for lots more money for weapons. Maybe tax cuts will pay for it the same way Mexico paid for the wall.

[LiberalArkie]

22. And the congressional Military stock holders (of both parties) are celebrating.
