> CNN has geolocated video from the scene to the Shajaba Tayyiba School, which sits about 200 feet (61 meters) from an Iranian military base.

Who the fuck builds a military base 200 feet from a school?

[heavyset_go]

The US does. I live near a base and there's a votech high school on the same property that nukes are transported to/from.

During the Cold War, the US government even had maps of potential Soviet ICBM targets and there's a nice dot here where hundreds of thousands live. The US knew the risk but put bases and nukes smack in the middle of that anyway.

There's several buildings in Edinburgh that have designation "military base" (mostly Territorial Army) and are within a few hundred yards of a school or nursery. Probably the same in many cities.

It's up to the people with bombs not to bomb schools.

The US puts elementary schools on military bases. Does that surprise you as well? It shouldn't, it's been the norm since before you were even born.

Sovereign countries that dont expect to be bombed?

I've lived in several midwest towns that have military (usually national guard) bases embedded in residential areas, maybe the school a bit further.

Bringing out the classics huh?

It would be a deterrent for people with a soul. The current people are all over the Epstein files, and love genocide so, bonus!

> all over the Epstein files

I’ve been too busy to read them, can you point me to what you think the smoking gun is?
