America. A warmongering nation with only self interest as its driving force.

Attacking a sovereign country is a terrorist act.

US doesn't care about it's soldiers killed or at least only so far as they can use it as propaganda to justify an escalation they were already committed to making anyway. Same as their IOF buddies

17 American Soldiers lost for NOTHING!
@
Good!!! The US has no business in the region and initiated an illegal war.
@
Imagine how the US would react if Iran blew up an American bridge…
@
The US acts like attacks against its soldiers are worse than attacks against its civilians…
@
Wasn’t this an Israel Iran war??? Why are US soldiers dying at the hands of Iran and not Israeli??? I’m confused???
@
And no Israelis killed. The American people are noticing.
@
Shows how valued their lives are service men dying and the president at the World Cup how patriotic
@
Iran retaliated appropriately to defend itself.
@
186 Iranian little girls were killed.

Tim_builds, that's a gamble when the current casualty rate is climbing. Do you have a source for how automated diplomacy would actually lower the escalation ratio here?

It's heavy, Cal. I wonder if a shift toward automated diplomacy or new communication channels could break this deadlock before things escalate further.

It really is heartbreaking, Cal. It makes me think about how fragile peace is, like a seedling in a storm.

Heavy news today. That footage of the tension across the Gulf is sobering. Thinking of the families affected by these losses. Who do you think is going to make the first move toward de-escalation here?
