The political internet is a cess pool of misinformation, AI bullshit and rage baiting accounts. My suggestion is to keep your sources for information few but informative. I personally try not to follow people that repost every fucking thing they see.

Casualties are higher if you count civilian deaths as meaningful as those in uniform. Why we focus exclusively on the deaths of those in uniform with blinders to the civilian catastrophe is such a wierd cultural blindness.

It's impossible to believe anything happening in this war because this Administration has been lying about everything since day one. As such, I can't believe anything about the war.

we have ~1.4 million active service members. Please explain why RESERVISTs are used in regions that aren't stable. Like those killed in Kuwait? It makes no sense to me (both in human costs and $ costs).

#GOPLiesAboutEverything If, only, (😢💔) 7soldiers were sacrificed4 #IranWar by #Trump how many more were physically wounded…Why is legacy media NOT report’g full facts. When will VA hospitals get more staff/💰2handle incoming wounded. #BlueCrew #50501movement #ProudBlue

The son of a friend of mine's in the Navy; his ship is in the Middle East. On the 3rd day, his mother posted urgently on FB that the report that a ship had been attacked & 8 sailors were dead was "AI slop." Folks, PLEASE double check the stuff you post. Parents & loved ones may read & be terrified.

People will believe what they want to believe. Like our military *deliberately* targeted that girl's school. If you have some solid evidence of this, not just a rando Al Jazeera post, let's see it. Because extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. There are plenty of real atrocities.

This is exactly the point. They say 7, international media says 500, no one knows the truth. Appreciate you putting this out there. I can only hope you're doing so with more information than the public currently has because we know damn well we're being lied to

So, we should believe what our lying government tells us? No one believes anything anymore. We are fed lies all day, and we should decipher what they say? I'll stay neutral and wait for a video that isn't AI.

You should wait for people turn to the press that they have lost contact to relatives serving in the US army. THEN you have evidence that the government hides casualties. Spoiler alert: in US they can't really, you are on the way to become russia but you are not russia yet

Look here, its KI Fake bsky.app/profile/obia...

Hintergrund: Der Iran bzw. iranische Aktivisten verbreiten gerade Bilder, welche festgenommene Soldaten der Delta Force (Spezialeinheit der US Army) zeigen soll. Die Bilder sind offensichtlich nicht echt. Hubschrauber und Fallschirme vertragen sich jetzt nicht so gut (zu nah am Rotor).

Now more than ever always check sources. So much is social media created slop that has no basis of fact. And there is even effort to make fiction look more real. And then there is the plague of AI generated slop. We are living in the fire hose of information now.

So Adam are you asking us to believe the lyingest piece of shit in the history of mankind???? He certainly isn’t gonna give us anything close to the truth. So who do you trust? Care to quote some of your military sources? Until then Adam you are nothing more than a political hack

Not so fast,Adam. Didn't the supreme dunce of the USA just look us in the eye & tell us that Iran was responsible for the bombing of a girls' school? 162 dead schoolgirls, and he lied about it when he, above anyone, knew the truth! He's moving a doomsday bomber.(capable of deploying nuclear bombs)

After the young soldier died on Saturday, I've heard that 9 more (who were seriously injured in the March 1st bomb) remain in hospital...fingers crossed that they'll make it through.

Im no conspiracy theorist but the Chinese satellite images do show widespread and severe damage to American assets in the region, seems implausible to me that a direct hit of a large military installation with a ballistic missile results in 0 casualties and no damage. No?

How did you come to the conclusion that if a significant amount of people is dead, therefore missing, that noone on US would take notice? Or are these secret orphanes raised in submerged pizzarias or something?

How did i come to that conclusion? Really? You honestly believe that the MAGA regime, currently shielding a pedophile in the Whitehouse through corruption, illegality and injustice, is incapable of lying to us about the damage inflicted by Iranian attacks, Really?

Yes they are incapable in this case, because US army personnel has names, biographies, relatives in US. If they go missing someone will notice. You will be like russia in a few years, but you are not yet

Low Earth orbiting, U.S. satellites have coverage of most of the damage, albeit a little delayed. Anyone curious enough to search Planet Labs and the Iran war will clearly see the extent of the damage and degraded strategic posture.

I dont, not necessarily, but in a war where nobody can be trusted, assuming the truth is coming out of the Whitehouse is a stretch I am not willing to make.

Probably not, in actuality. As long as the radar network can detect the incoming missiles, the people on the bases have ample time to get to safe locations, underground, ect. If all the THAADs get taken out, it'll be a different story.

Well here in lies the problem, the regime lies so much even if they are telling the truth for once, no one believes them. Wasn’t there a children’s story about this? Something about little boys who cry wolf?

I would not be surprised if the U.S. isn't totally forthcoming about casualty numbers, given Trump's desire to suppress bad news. But, yeah, all those posts about Delta force capture appear to be disseminated by Russian disinformation sources.

I was astonishrd to observed, a few years ago, that ALL political wings in America are dangerously prone to all types of nutteries and conspiracy hogwash. Lefties gab incoherent nonsense about Musk stealing the 2024 election, and don't even realise they parrot the Jan 6 insurrectionists

Yall should be rioting right now. Instead, you're bitching about the president wearing his stupid little hat, as if you cared more about that piece of decorum than about schoolchildren who got killed

You need to realize that US casualties is the least important aspect of this war. It makes little difference if 6 or 10 or 12 US soldiers were killed; it's orders of magnitude fewer than Iranian civilians, who did not willingly choose a job where getting killed is part of the contract

SEALS, Delta Force, Rangers... I've no doubt that MAGA/GOP would put our sons and daughters in harms way for no other reason than dementia symptoms. 😠

First of all, we don't have anywhere that many boots on the ground nor has any of our ships been hit. Unless it was a Special Ops, snatch and grab or Kill squad, you can't hide deaths like that. Word gets out through solid sources.

Tell us why we shouldn’t believe they’re lying? I mean, they’ve got such a stellar record, right? 🤦🏼‍♀️ Do I think Delta Force has been captured, no. But do I believe they’d hide things, gaslighting the world into believing tbag is the greatest leader of all time- absofuqqinlutely!

Thanks, Adam. People would do well to remember the old axiom that, “in war, the first casualty is the truth”, and take everything coming out of the theatre with a very large grain of salt, until positively confirmed.

So Adam, who do you suggest we get this information from? I don’t believe a word coming out of the White House😒. Not to mention we haven’t heard anything about the injured.? 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s pretty tough to figure out what’s going on since the administration prefers lies to truth. It’s one damn lie after the next. Iran bombed a girls school with our missiles? Fuck these liars.

I noticed a reference to American military bases in the area being bombed, with the number of casualties in the hundreds. I doubt government numbers…

You're a republican, just because you oppose trump doesnt mean even one person should listen to your opinion on this war, if you think even for 1 minute I believe only 6 Americans have died so far, there's no way.

We've never seen the ability of bots, outright liars, etc. to put out tons of misinformation. Of course, there's also the problem that Trump and his sycophants lie about everything, so lies against what they say have a greater chance of being believed.

I wouldn’t say it’s all BS. The p*ss-poor planning of this reckless little stunt has been brilliantly apparent, all the way through; That always produces casualties. 

You can’t blame people for believing that. We have been lied to non stop from this loser. We can’t believe a thing he or his regime says.

Whose bs do you recommend? There's not a big difference between "disgusting lies" on one side and "gross exaggeration" on the other. *Bothsiderism brought to you by the United States' devout commitment to "All Spectacle, No Substance".

One is too many. This BS attack on Iran has resulted in the death of innocents, not just Americans, in many places, and the fact that we cannot trust our media to tell the truth doesn't help anyone. Check, check again, check many sources, stare at it with squinty eyes, check again...

Question everything in social media. There are still legitimate journalists out there who try to report the facts without editorializing. It’s everyone’s responsibility to seek truth.

Thank you for this, Adam Kinzinger. I’ve seen the posts, also. Please continue to provide us with factual information because we all need to hear the truth. Thank you.

ICE has ZERO credibility. DHS has ZERO credibility. DOJ has ZERO credibility. FBI has ZERO credibility. Because of Donald Trump, the entire United States federal government has ZERO credibility.

Trump equates destruction with victory. But wars are political, not mechanical. Iran’s entire doctrine is built around surviving destruction. They expect to lose infrastructure. They expect to be bombed. They expect to fight from the shadows. This is why experts say a “quick” war is unrealistic.

I don't believe random posts with no sources sited. I also don't believe any information coming from the White House or Hague-seth. I do know that there is no honor to be found fighting and dying under the command of a treasonous rapist.

Decades ago Trump admitted he gets his political education from tv shows. He’s not academically well-educated; he spews biases & blatant lies daily. Tragically Trump governs from social media platforms. He’s created a corrupt gov that spews misinformation nonstop. Sadly US gov is no longer credible!

■ Republicans Lie; American soldiers DIE (Iran)! Iran’s nuclear ability “obliterated” yet a week away from launching on USA? ■ Republicans lied; American soldiers DIED! "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction” ■ Republicans lie, Democracy DIES! GOP claim Trump victory in 2020 election.

The problem is we have no reliable way of knowing. The first casualty of war is the truth and the constant lying and gaslighting from the Trump administration, even without war, magnifies the problem considerably.

there is absolutely NO way that the current regime is going to give us the real numbers about casualties ... with every breath there is a new lie coming from them. Pretty sure that if folks knew the real numbers they would be pretty upset

This is not our America. We have been taken over from within, by both foreign and domestic enemies working together. This has been a 50 year operation, but they have basically suceeded. Israel and Russia have taken control of the US. It's that simple.

We already know the Shitgibbon and his fascist bootlickers lie about everything so any numbers they provide are automatically suspect. But you can't credibly prove that casualties aren't much higher. We can't trust you either.

Just proving that you are still a fucking Republican. You may oppose Trump, but you are urging us to believe the fucking MAGA Pentagon? I don't trust Iran, but I trust MAGA and the GOP even less.

Casualties ARE way higher. My sister is there treating many of those that can be treated. Many cannot be treated. Suddenly you believe this administration is telling the truth? Why tf would you ever buy into anything they say? That’s insanity

A lot of my algos show stupid Trump propaganda even though I never engage with any of it. Since the war, it's all kinds of Iran is winning conspiracy shit. I'm thinking both were being pushed by same Russian disinfo groups.
