Your point about demoralising the IRGC by killing their kids is interesting but is outweighed by the predictable public fallout and the resolve of IRGC to avenge the deaths.

Picking off leaders is one thing. Killing their kids is counterproductive.

At no point that did I say that the killing of the girls was a strategic move to demoralize the IRGC.

And I remain dumbfounded as to why you keep giving the benefit of the doubt to Trump and Hegseth.

I'm not saying it was a strategic choice, I'm saying I could easily see Pete being a sadist who got off on killing those schoolgirls, who approved the strike package based on that alone, and that's before you even consider his crusades and killing Muslims fetishes.

In that scenario fact that they are the children of IRGC members just gives him an excuse to rationalize his choice to pleasure himself with their blood.

Again, I don't know that's what happened, but I know it's just as likely as it being an "oppsie" when the man in charge of the Pentagon is a known abuser of women, in addition to being a drunk moron ultra Zionist Christian nationalist with crusader tattoos.
