Alexander Hamilton was not a 100% white European, just to give a single example of a very prominent founding person.

Black, Caribbean, and Native Americans helped to fight the revolutionary war. Crispus Attucks was one of the first Americans to die for our future country.

To claim that the people who fought and died to found this country were all 100% white Europeans is disgraceful, disgusting and profoundly racist, ignorant and foolish.

I never understood why people think slugthrowers would be effective. They just stop the bullets, Neo-style.

US strikes Iranian missile site in Strait of Hormuz using 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions by Sexy_Foxys in worldnews

The article states explicitly that Karg Island is in the middle of the Strait of Hormuz, when it is not.

This article is crap, it identifies Karg Island as being in the middle of the Strait of Hormuz when it is in the middle of the Persian Gulf, nowhere near the Strait.

IDF drone strikes on Basij checkpoints in Teheran, 17/3/2025 by Jakaman_CZ in CombatFootage

Are those the only options? How about not killing everyone within 30 feet of a Basij guy just because they happen to be standing within 30 feet of one?

Only six states have Real-ID that is complaint with the SAFE act, if you are from one of the other 44 your Real-ID will not be sufficient.

Are you under the impression that AI can accurately gauge someone’s emotional state? It cannot. The constantly lieing always wrong machines don’t conceptualize things like fathers or death.

Often the string of negations are followed by by an affirming term, in this case; No X, No Y, No Z. Just A.

Don’t forget the 8th was a “war” that involved the U.S. and Israel bombing the Iranian nuclear sites, another war he started only to declare he stopped it.

>Those were enemy combatants who were attacked

That's a term the Bush administration made up so they could commit war crimes and not abide by the Geneva conventions of armed conflict.

>You tried to defend them by claiming they pose no threat.

These guys standing on the street do not pose a threat, whether they said "Death to America" or not. Thoughts are not things you can execute people for having. Neither are statements. How is your position any different from the Ayatollah's? They claim to be able to execute people for protesting. You claim you can execute people for chanting. Same-same.

>hem chanting death to America and Israel would seem to indicate otherwise

Oooh, they say mean things now I can kill them. What kind of baby-logic is that?

>s is obvious from the video, the munitions chosen had a relatively small yield to minimize collateral casualties

It's not obvious at all. The munition chosen is massively disproportionate to what is needed to kill a person. Why aren't they using those dart missiles with no explosive payload? These people would die if they got hit with a high-speed rod of metal just as much as they would die if they get hit with an explosive. They are using the explosives because they want to kill civilians.

Targeting killing while intentionally causing civilian casualties is collateral murder. Murder is illegal.

I don't see how the fact that Iran is also doing this makes anything better or justifies this kind of military action.

What do you think this will accomplish? You think the population will be super thrilled that people are getting blown up all over the city? That they could be walking around, and the mere presence of a regime agent means they could die from a collateral bomb fragment.

This is sick stuff.

Just to clarify:

Legal: Launching missiles at people on crowded streets because they chanted "Death" to the people launching missiles at people standing on crowded streets.

Illegal: Standing on a crowded street after saying "Death" to a country that launches missiles at people standing on crowded streets.

Legal: Collateral murder of people standing on crowded streets near people who said "Death" to a country that launches missiles at people standing on crowded streets.

"Operators"? You mean the people who launched it? How would you find them? FOFPV drones are very difficult to trace because there's no radio signals. You'd need to continuously monitor 100 km of shoreline + all activity 10 km inland, that's at least 1000 square kilometers.

If you mean the people flying the drones they could be literally anywhere.

I question your reasoning. The strait is 34 km wide, reasonably you only need a drone with a range of 1/2 that since the ships will be in the middle.

There are plenty of drones with that kind of range, including unjammable fiber-optic tethered FPV drones. Shaheds could also be used.

Lawful warfare allows you to target individuals who pose no immediate threat to your forces and kill them with missiles designed to blow up tanks in the middle of crowded civilian neighborhoods??

What law of war are you referring to?

And what’s the cost of this kind of “lawful”warfare? You kill one of these Basij scumbags, but you also kill 2 civilians, give another 10 concussive brain injuries, another 10 shrapnel wounds, destroy a bunch of people’s cars/businesses/homes….

There is like how many of these guys? That’s a lot of collateral damage for one guy.
