    You are making it sound as it the Biden Administration did not outright lie on a ton of things.

    The hell are you talking about? I’m very aware Biden lied constantly about “tirelessly working towards a ceasefire” and is the reason this war is happening in the first place. I have no loyalty to that senile butcher or anyone loyal to him (Copmala etc).

    I will go with available facts

    What available facts? All we have to go off of are claims made by the US, and claims are not facts. Surely this was recorded, but we won’t get to see it - the facts are hidden by the chain of command and military secrecy. It’s not like the US is going to publish the actual details or footage or anything.

    You don’t have facts and you shouldn’t act like it. We’re all just speculating. Your gut says the military can be trusted, mine says it can’t.

      Available facts are literally the statements made by the US military or the US government – for the time being. I mean, what you are going to do? Get on your private plane and fly to the gulf, land on the aircraft carrier and check it out for yourself? Surely, and in time, more facts will come out, either from the US government or from elsewhere. We will be able to have then, objectively, a better picture of what happened.

      Point is not to jump to false conclusions, either way. Just not go into conspiracy theories, is my point. To me at least, it seems like just a waste of time.

      No, I am not saying that my gut instinct is to trust the US military, I am well aware of the US bullshit propaganda machine, my gut instinct is not to make conspiracies out of nothing just because, ‘Trump bad.’ We are both coming at it from the general same direction, but my stance is more neutral than yours, until further notice, obviously.
