US airstrikes on a Syrian village have killed at least 73 civilians, a majority of them women and children, activists say, in the deadliest coalition attack on non-combatants since the start of the bombing campaign against the Islamic State

How can you be so callous with your airstrikes? This only furthers ISIS' agenda and makes it easier for them to move forward with their recruitment. I understand that militant faction may sometimes hide amongst the civilian population and it is necessary to target them. But at what cost?

[meegs73]

Exactly. It's unacceptable. And it upsets me so much that they're calling it an accident, as if that's a comfort to the parents burying their children today. I also feel that President Obama has not received a fraction of the criticism he deserves for his foreign policy. This has happened so many times over the past 8 years.

Thank you. No, he absolutely hasn't received his fair share of criticism about this.

It's actually amazing to me. He's just as awful as his predecessor when it comes to foreign policy but Democrats seem to adore him, especially right now. But at the same, the left is unrestrained in their criticism of Hillary's foreign policy. As an immigrant, the difference is strange. I guess charisma matters more than anything else to Americans.

Goddamn it, US, get your shit together. The US government and military has so many idiots in power, authorizing this kind of thing and feeding into the ISIS ideology, practically handing them recruits on a silver platter because people are sick of seeing their friends, families, and neighbors blown up and wrote off as 'oops, oh well, collateral damage'. I'm sick of it.

The US government is possibly the best thing to happen to ISIS from their point of view and they're too damn arrogant and stupid to realize it.

And so many people that spew #AllLivesMatter don't say shit about this, showing just how racist many of them are.

I'm of the mind that one is one too many. Thirty-five children, like come the fuck on. This isn't OK. American imperialism is one helluva a drug
