IbnHarrath No one wonders if these bombs will kill innocent civilians? And if it was their elite children who died suddenly they would hit their heads on the walls! But as long as it’s in Afghanistan or Iraq it’s okay! About Gaza? Syria ? Yemen ? Name them all it’s a lot of crime!🙈

The picture is of British troops and one needs to ask of the G which one of you lot counted them.

The screenshot is peophile. They use baby with diaper.

Not forgetting millions of bombs were also dropped on Indo China. No wonder all the big military contractors made huge profits.

USA USA USA! The quickest way of becoming a Taliban is to be killed by an American bomb. The quickest way of radicalizing people is probably to kill their family and friends. Sort of evens out. The rank stupidity of this circle of death ...

Shameful

Gee, I bet ggreenwald is super upset about this and will send some very concerned tweets soon!

Brave soldiers

Most Americans must have no idea of this escalating warfare.

We used to export cars, tech, etc. Now all we export is death.

Maybe Taliban are thinking they also killed record numbers of Americans during same period

Business as usual. That’s all it is.

steelmuslim 7,423 for the lazy

Trump is the biggest bomb.

Thanks Trump 😠
