No, it's from a news graphic giving a detailed, annotated breakdown of the "compound" he was hiding in, the compound being an actual, literal hole in the ground, but presented as if explaining some piece of high-tech military hardware, with Saddam himself presented as if he were a component.

Unfortunately, instead, they switched to LNG.

Exactly what i said in the first place - "ITT: a disturbing but unsurprising amount of people who think war crimes are good when the good guys do them."

See, you start making a valid argument, but can't even make it to the end of the sentence before you stop pretending. Here, let me help you:

Uhm… if he dresses like a soldier, moves with the troops and is in no way distinguishable from ~~the hordes of orcs that have to die~~ other soldiers*, ~~he is a valid target~~ the drone operator cannot be held responsible for not distinguishing him.

Wearing camo is not enough to make you a target, even having a weapon doesn't necessarily make you a target. The responsibility of keeping civilians safe is not on the defender, it's on both sides. The take that doesn't defend warcrimes is that his death is an unfortunate accident caused by his failure to wear appropriate markings. Instead, the thread has his face crossed out as if he was on a hitlist.

Like, I get it. You finally have an outlet for your repressed chauvinism that won't get you called racist and you're letting yourself blow off some steam. But for fucks sake have some decorum about it, you're acting like Americans.

You know, all things aside, it's kinda sad people don't even remember anymore that the Nazis weren't just after Jews.

Four lawyers, MBA, and an alleged economist. Sounds about right.

You seem to be mistaking universities for vocational schools.

The concept album is Slim Shady is trying to get Eminem cancelled.

That is genuinely hilarious.

More like idolatry, if we're being precise.

And now, when we complain about foreign meddling, we can rightfully be reminded of what our side did to others...

Oh, you haven't heard? Bringing up any comparison with anything is now whataboutism, and means you're actually Russian.
