They have done a very good job of keeping these sorts of videos hidden.

This is a graphic example of the reality that Trump has unleashed in the Middle East. I have to assume that some of the people under this bombardment were wounded or killed. I'm sure the casualty numbers are also being hidden.

This is what ground troops landed in Iran will encounter. Think of Custer's Last Stand. Good men being ordered to their death by an incompetent commander that is a deranged ego maniac.

It is insane.

Many people here and elsewhere join armed forces because they want to help their community. Unfortunately there are often criminals in charge, or criminal-dupes like Trump.

9. Sure it is difficult. That is part of why doing so is important.

We are not going to remediate our wrongs by only doing what is easy.

12. Let's just say in this particular instance it is AI. That is not the point.

It does look just like explosions caused by the basketball sized multiple warheads that are raining down on Tel Aviv. Just like the the warheads that will rain down on any American troops landing anywhere in Iran. While those basketballs are exploding drone swarms will also be exploding. And if they land at any Iranian oil facilities, those facilities will be mined and they will be exploding as well. The point is that the casualties will be 100% real.

Do you really believe Trump when he says we have destroyed everything, they got nothing? I don't. The worst possible mistake you can make is to underestimate your enemy. That is something we are especially good at going back to Japan and Vietnam.

11. This may be AI. The internet is flooded with suspect videos.

Others in this thread and in the comments think AI.

Propaganda and dis-info flourishes while official sources and MSM lack detail.

Israel cannot be trusted, murders journalists by design and manipulates Trump, neocons and Christian Zionists.

What is obvious is that Trump et al have been thwarted and the general blowback will be massive and of long duration with no upside for most Americans and the World community.

Hope we (USA) wakes up and remove Trump and the others that allow and extend this sorry state of the World.

15. Get over the AI thing. It's irrelevant. The bombs that drop on Americans will be real - and deadly.

17. "Get over" a fake video passed off as real? Okay. Maybe find something real and relevant

rather than someone chasing clout and farming clicks. Maybe post up front that the video is/may be AI.

Get over it, LOL. Ok, whatever.
