Wow amazing view. Which area is this?

Attacking an institute of science. This administration could not have orchestrated a better representation of itself.

What a loss. How will I ever move on with my life.

Then why were both US and Israeli officials saying they were doing it in coordination?

"The Israeli officials said the strike was coordinated with and approved by the Trump administration. A U.S. Defense official confirmed that."

Why is he on trial? He was just eating at a McDonald's by himself.

"well that's a risk we're willing to take" - Israel, probably

Ok, that's fine, but I am still going to praise him. This took courage to do.

Even if he's wrong about other things, he did the right thing here. How are we ever going to incentivize people to do the right thing if they are going to get shit for it either way?

There's a time and place to criticize him, but right now at this moment I'm more than happy to simply praise him.

This took courage and we should celebrate this. I can already see people pointing fingers at him; that is worth doing eventually, but this is not the time for that.

Let's recognize good behavior and make sure we encourage more people to do the same.

I get the point but I don't agree with the sentiment. If all we ever do is punish people for doing the right thing, they will stop doing it.

People make mistakes. If they eventually turn around and do the right thing, we should celebrate it and not point fingers for being imperfect to begin with.

Incentives are important. And we need to incentivize more of the behavior we just saw in him.

Lol, no fucking way. I just looked it up and confirmed this is true. Can't make this shit up.

This is a great point and matches my experience as well.

From what I've read, the initial strike not only killed the new leader's father,, but also his wife and child. I'm pretty sure he will not be willing to easily negotiate with the United States after something like that.
