    Alternatively: President says it may never be known who is at fault for presidentially authorized strike on war crime target.

    Much like the boss who takes credit for a successful project but blames the fuck out of everyone else if it’s not successful

      Like almost every boss I’ve ever had. I remember the exceptions because they were so rare.

    I think we are misreading the statement. “It may never be known” doesn’t mean “nobody knows”. It means “it may never be known by you because I and the whole administration are going to bury this deeper than the missing parts of the Epstein files”.

    It’s a truthful statement for once. Shitty, immoral but truthful.

    The buck stops at the white house. That is what good leadership looks like but I digress. The truth is that this school was selected by a mix of AI/Palantir Generated target list and just went to human eyes for a checkbox to launch the strikes. Nobody really looked into the fact that the target became a girls school. Years ago it was a military target which is why it likely got pulled into the list. They mentioned that it used to be military related on Aljazeera News. So AI SLOP STRIKE.

    Wow I thought he meant they couldn’t figure out who did the targeting (which I wouldn’t have believed either), but no, he’s actually trying to disclaim the entire rocket!

    “Somebody said it was our missile, maybe ​it wasn’t our missile but I have seen nothing to lead me to believe ‌it ⁠was,” Trump remarked, adding: “I don’t think it was us.”

    Do the thing and ask him what should happen to the one that is responsible.
