    There is a lot of talk on foreign news sites that way more U.S soldiers have been killed. All U.S bases in Iran were bombed. Yet only 6 U.S people killed?

    That’s not how that works.

    Mexico and India news says reports were around 500-600 U.S troops.

    Gop hiding it so it’s not so obvious to us how much they fucked up so that Congress won’t be as pressured to stop them. If the American people knew it was 500 casualties already from poor strategy, there would be more outrage.

    Considering that the current administration lies about literally everything, I’ll trust foreign news more.

      Naaah. That’s fanciful tabloidism.

      Bases are large. They have hardened bunkers. Iranian missiles and drones are crude. Anyone non-essential would have been evacuated before this all started.

      Hundreds - even dozens would be impossible to keep quiet.

        Israel hid a lot of atrocities for decades.

        The u.s government basically controls all major news because a single family now owns it all.

        You all realize they do lie about everything. ?

        Why would you trust ,“6”. ?

          Because these hundreds of dead soldiers were hatched in a military facility and never had family, friends, neighbours or bank managers. Or you’re saying thousands of people will just not notice?

      duno 500 seams high.

      Iranian missiles/drones are not very precise, and they take a while to get there, usualy enough warning time to run from a exposted position to the next bunker.

      US bases are huge, just cuz something impacts somewhere on it dosent mean a human is nearby.

      I kinda doubt they could even hide 500 dead, even if they tryed.

          few hundred…no just no.

          For every kia u have multipe wounded, and i dont see spikes in wounded transports to military hospitals in europe (usual extraction route for usa wounded in the middle east). If there where 500 dead it would mean 2k wounded and thay would mean constant helicopter medivac flights from airports to hospitals in europe…feel free to check historical data of flight radar (public info) on that.

          Let me know if u come up with some facts that actually have data speaking for em.

              Arab hospitals are considered a security risk and israel probably dosent has the capacity that nato nations can provide, the extraction route was developed during the gulf wars and the afghan war and i would wonder if they would suddenly change that

            It’s been a few days. It’s not always easy to reach service members.

            How would they know?

            It will take another week or two before we start learning the real numbers.

    Some people say they want a terror attack, to get emergency declarations and steal the midterms. I just hope this is not true. A lot of innocent people would die for few remain in power. I don’t know what to believe anymore.

      Fascists are in power. That’s enough to believe in while you go look for historical examples of fascists being peacefully voted out of office. That ought to keep you busy until oh, his fourth term.

      Careful now, some social media sites might ban you for three days for saying way less

      Hey Trump, if you’re gonna go around bombing world leaders, there’s one I’d really like to see taken care of. Pull it off and you’ll be more famous than the guy that killed Hitler.

      Happened to me.

        I think telling a rando to ‘kys’ or whatever kids are saying, is bad. For some reason, though, it feels less objectionably when directed at public figures
