I'm not trying to be rude when I once again say I didn't read that. I'm moving on from this area and enjoying the FA talk more than arguing in circles in here. Wish you the best.

Oh no, we all know it’s not rudeness, it’s willful ignorance that prevents you from reading anything that disagrees with your MAGA world view. I guarantee you that PT85 would believe the same thing if it was Biden who was doing the same crap that trump is now, and you would agree 100%.

Looking at his twitter feed, he seems to have no agenda what so ever. His "trust me bro" reasoning seems pretty sound.

I stopped reading as soon as he said he relied on an AI analysis to determine how far down the body of the middle the wings were mounted at. The difference in question was just 5% of the ratio, which is almost certainly within the margin of error considering the poor resolution of the video source. The NYT may be jumping the gun based on the same video, just as he is, but people not realizing how bad the confidence intervals are when feeding low fidelity sources into an AI model are just as dumb.

I think the important part here is that Trump was lying when he said it was Iran. He has no idea. What's frustrating about the Trumpbots is their entire viewpoint is based on "It must be true because Trump said so" about someone who lies their arse off almost every second of every day. Even Hegseth who was probably half in the bag at the time, was smart enough to leave it at "we are investigating"...and he's a total moron.

I put certain words in caps in order to emphasize those words. Nothing to do with "kvetching" about something. I will use bolded words in the future when I wish to emphasize a certain word, so that you don't confuse it with "kvetching".

Once again, you are completely wrong about a topic, in this case AI. I fed it VERY brief, high level information about DrPhilly and Google AI absolutely nailed it. Took grainy information and produced a vivid and accurate representation of our resident meatball.

I still haven't read your two posts. I'm sure they were awesome and like I said you win. I'm done going in circles in here. Like I said I wish you well and meant it.

Yeah, the official explanation is pretty half-baked. This video appears to shows a secondary strike from what I understand, so the chances that multiple IRGC missiles were jammed and happened to strike the same friendly fire target are pretty slim. So it's pretty clear the trumpbots like this Matt Retardio are desperate to believe anything that paints their hero in a positive light, which is why his "AI analysis" tweets get picked up by other low info trumpbots eager to believe and parrot the same nonsense.

I mean, I wouldn't say we were going around in circles. Some economic illiterate guy tweeted out that he can't understand why gas prices in the US would be rising when the US doesn't get any of its oil from Iran, and then you said you agreed with his take. I then explained why his take was wrong.

Trump floats ENDING war in Iran after mysterious call with Putin

Meh, I don’t have a mustache

From the NYT article, fwiw:

NPR was the first to report on satellite imagery from the company Planet that suggested multiple buildings, including the clinic, were hit in what appeared to be a precision strike that resulted in the deaths at the school. In total, seven buildings were hit in the strike on the complex, which at one point had been an Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) naval base.

The base, located in the southeastern city of Minab, appeared to be a relatively minor facility. NPR was able to find one video shot at the base during a 2010 military exercise that showed members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard flying an Ababil-3 drone from an airfield directly across from the compound. But historic satellite imagery showed little activity at the airfield in the years following that demonstration. NBC News has reported that local officials say the base was abandoned for over a decade, but NPR has not been able to independently verify those claims.

The school was separated from the compound by a wall between 2013 and 2016, according to satellite imagery. Satellite imagery also shows the airstrip was removed in 2024. Online posts from a local construction firm and verified by NPR show the land where the runway once stood was being turned into a housing development. The clinic was walled off between 2023 and 2024, and opened in 2025, according to a local press report from Fars News Agency-Hormozgan, reviewed by NPR. The opening indicated that the site still had ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. According to the reports, the clinic was opened by IRGC chief Hossein Salami, who was killed in an Israeli strike later that year. A photo appeared to show Salami cutting a ribbon at the clinic.

Lewis said that it's possible the school and clinic were struck as a result of outdated targeting information. Speaking beside Trump on Saturday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. was continuing to look into what happened at the school. "We're certainly investigating," he said. "But the only side that targets civilians is Iran."

Trump Sons Back New Drone Company Amid Iran War | The New Republic https://share.google/nvXrghTCklu9Miutd

President Trump’s sons are trying to sell drones to the Pentagon.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are merging their publicly traded golf-course holding company with Powerus, a Florida-based drone company, with the goal of filling the gaps left by the Trump administration’s ban on Chinese drones.

F'ing disgusting
