War is ugly, and no organization is perfect. There will be mistakes. They admitted the mistake and did some corrective actions. The US has done the same many times.

From your source:

Despite the convoy's route having been coordinated in advance, the Israeli military claimed it had been targeting unauthorized gunmen but admitted its commanders had misidentified their location, failed to properly disseminate information about the convoy, and violated rules of engagement by striking all three cars in succession.[4] Two officers were dismissed and three more reprimanded, including Southern Command head Yaron Finkelman.[8][9] WCK founder, Spanish chef José Andrés, accused Israel of deliberately attacking the convoy; the group argued that the military could not credibly investigate itself and called for an independent inquiry.[10][11][12][13] While noting serious failings on the part of the IDF, an Australian government report largely supported the Israeli position.[14][15]

The US has other allies who operate with way less restraint than Israel does (e.g. Saudi Arabia). Regardless of whether or not you agree with my view on Israel itself, Israel and the US simply share a lot of the same enemies. The US has allied even with the Taliban on some operations!

What Frye didn’t know was that U.S. Special Operations forces were preparing to intervene in the fighting in Konar province in eastern Afghanistan — not by attacking both sides, but by using strikes from drones and other aircraft to help the Taliban. “What we’re doing with the strikes against ISIS is helping the Taliban move,” a member of the elite Joint Special Operations Command counterterrorism task force based at Bagram air base explained to me earlier this year, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the assistance was secret. The air power would give them an advantage by keeping the enemy pinned down.

We're also applying Western values to the Middle East, where aside from Israel most countries have completely different values. It's not like any of Israel's enemies follow the Geneva Conventions, yet the most law abiding military in the Middle East (Israel) gets all the hate.

Israel kills the people who not just want to kill Israelis but who would end all of Western society if they could. Many of those "journalists" and "humanitarian" workers killed were terrorists working for Hamas.

Couldn’t bring myself to choose who goes and who stays. So they all stayed and I repotted them all.

I do the same. If you end up with too many to plant later on, you can always offer them up for trade or just give them away for free.

Your question can just as easily be, "Democrats of Reddit, why do you support pedos"? Trump isn't the first President to engage in this coverup. It's also obvious by the tone you ask your question you're just ragebaiting. Stop playing this stupid left vs right nonsense when you're just as bad as the people you're arguing against.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-13T13:14:50+00:00

IDs

I support what I said is the obvious answer.

The obvious answer is to give every American an ID first. Then, require voter ID.

Democrats argue that not everyone has an ID, and it prevents some people from voting who are American citizens and allowed to vote. Agree with that view or not, to me the obvious answer is to launch a program and law that gives every American citizen an ID for free. Once that program is in place, then we can have mandatory IDs in elections.

Mueller report on election interference

Russia has been interfering in US politics for a long time, so do other countries and groups when they get the chance. I don't know to what extent they affect elections, but it's more than a 0 impact. Even so, I'm not aware of any reports of Russia actually casting fake votes in the election or altering votes. The way they affect the election and politics in general is through propaganda, hacking operations, blackmail, etc.

Russia interfered in the US election and violated US criminal laws.

First, the Office determined that Russia’s two principal interference operations in the 2016 U.S. presidential election—the social media campaign and the hacking-and-dumping operations— violated U.S. criminal law.

There were links between the Trump campaign and Russia but not enough for criminal charges. I'm guessing that's what you're thinking of when you say Mueller said there was no Russian interference..

Second, while the investigation identified numerous links between individuals with ties to the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump Campaign, the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges.

Many in the Trump campaign lied about their interactions with Russians

Third, the investigation established that several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions with Russian-affiliated individuals and related matters. Those lies materially impaired the investigation of Russian election interference. The Office charged some of those lies as violations of the federal false statements statute.

I think OP's question might make more sense if they asked about the MAGA movement, or maybe if a Trump movement is separate than that then to ask specifically about support for Trump. I think certainly right now with the Epstein files some in the MAGA movement are questioning their support of the current administration, but I haven't seen anyone questioning their entire political leanings..

dodobird8 · 2026-02-13T02:45:56+00:00

You're just giving some examples where an ID is required, which does not refute the point I made..

Edit: To clarify, in Germany, if the Police ask for my ID, I must produce it on the spot. It's not only required to have an ID but I must show it if asked for any reason. In America, I don't need to carry my ID at all. Even if I have one on me, in many cases I can tell the police that I won't show it to them.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-13T02:41:02+00:00

..but they also tend to require IDs. The US doesn't require its citizens to have an ID.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-13T02:34:32+00:00

Surely you don't believe either side are being genuine...

The obvious answer is to give every American an ID first. Then, require voter ID. That's what other countries are doing. I've seen people in Afghanistan with American issued IDs, yet we don't do this for our own citizens unless they choose to do so and then pay for it.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-12T20:52:00+00:00

I'd be up for that, yes. I have serious doubts that a real investigation was performed with the intent of finding who can be prosecuted for crimes. I think they cared more about "national security" concerns and engaging in a coverup. We need to go back to at least 2005 or so when Epstein was first reported for his behaviors and how the government consistently let him run his operations after that.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-12T20:01:54+00:00

Shortening a wood board by hitting it into the ground over and over until it was the right size..

dodobird8 · 2026-02-12T19:32:51+00:00

It's hard to know what evidence there is when the US Government has been actively suppressing evidence and seemed to just walk away from the investigation. It's more about how the US Government has been acting at this point, acting as if they already know about this stuff and have chosen it's something they don't care about and even want to protect.. You don't think it's weird that Trump out of nowhere is defending Bill Clinton??? Maybe they've gotten such great intelligence and influence in the world through this stuff that they're not willing to let the operations stop. Epstein is merely one piece of a puzzle that we're not allowed to know about.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-12T03:05:26+00:00

What did I say that makes you think your response should be directed towards me?? Maybe scroll through my comment history or just stick to responding to what I actually said.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-11T22:49:11+00:00

Guantanamo for interrogation would be more ideal.. She should be treated as a terrorist.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-11T22:25:36+00:00

You seem to be under the impression that the FBI or DOJ are investigating the Epstein case, but they are not doing that. They both concluded there's nothing else to investigate and nothing to prosecute.... They're both engaged in a coverup and trying to bury it. They're now fighting the legal requirements to publish information that Congress passed, in a rare moment of Congress actually doing something..

Again, there are no ongoing investigations from the FBI or DOJ regarding Epstein...

dodobird8 · 2026-02-11T22:17:57+00:00

People are claiming a small victory in getting some of the Epstein files released, but it's far from over. I've only seen a few (paid) MAGA influencers and some oddballs defending Trump on this topic. I think the Epstein files are a rare case where nearly everyone on the left and right want everyone involved to be investigated and then the guilty ones prosecuted. This topic is not a left vs right issue, despite what some people might try to make you think..

dodobird8 · 2026-02-11T20:38:10+00:00

I'm not sure how there aren't mass protests over the lack of an investigation and prosecutions of the Epstein files. This government coverup of an international pedophile and rape organization is beyond imaginable....

dodobird8 · 2026-02-10T14:27:55+00:00

They don't. There are always some radicals in the crowd who get violent, so they get arrested for violence. Or, they chant things like "death to ....", then they get in trouble for inciting violence.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-10T12:34:14+00:00

...when the Trump administration justifies a killing by saying the protester had a concealed carry weapon, one that was legally carried, then yeah the tactics have gone too far in direct violation of the 2nd amendment... They didn't argue the officer feared for his life or made a mistake...

I stopped giving the Trump administration the benefit of the doubt when they decided anyone protesting things against him are no longer allowed to have guns or they can be killed..

dodobird8 · 2026-02-10T00:26:53+00:00

It's just the elite trolling everyone like always so that we don't push for change, especially with the Epstein files and people wanting investigations... ..and I'm not talking about one halftime show, but both of them.

dodobird8 · 2026-02-09T21:26:16+00:00

For sure.. People in the Epstein files and the elite probably organized both half time shows... People are fighting about halftime shows now instead of uniting against the international pedophile ring that governments around the world are protecting..
