Killing of children and women could invoke sharp response tomorrow from Nikki Haley and child right champion Trump's daughter Ivanka who was very heartbroken last time children were killed in a foreign country:

Thirty Afghan civilians killed in U.S. air strike, officials say

LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan (Reuters) - At least 30 Afghan civilians were killed in U.S. air strikes in the Afghan province of Helmand, officials and residents of the area said on Wednesday, the latest casualties from a surge in air operations aimed at driving the Taliban into talks.

Afghanistan’s NATO-led force said Afghan government forces and U.S. advisers came under fire from Taliban fighters in a compound in Garmsir district and called in an air strike, but the ground forces were not aware of any civilians in or near the compound.
Helmand provincial governor Mohammad Yasin Khan said troops had called in air strikes against Taliban fighters in Garmsir, causing both civilian and Taliban casualties.
A resident of the area called Mohammadullah said the clash began late on Tuesday.
“Foreign forces bombed the area and the bombs hit my brother’s house,” he said.
He said women and 16 children were among the dead.
Another resident, Feda Mohammad, said some victims were still buried in the rubble of the compound.
“The area is under the control of Taliban but all of the victims of last night’s bombing are civilians,” he said.

War violence escalation is starting to kill more children, civilians that used to happen more frequently during Obama regime:

Maybe it would be best if such photos of Afghan children are not shown by US media tomorrow when reporting above news. People were pretty upset when Syrian children's photos were showed again and again by US media just before last Trump bombing there.

What needs to be understood is that this is not a 'mistake'... aka mis-targeting.
This is cold blooded now. This was intentional.
NATO is being pummeled, shamed and frustrated on the ground.

This is maddog. :check:

The guerilla tactics are smart, they position themselves within and near civilians to ensure these episodes happen. The more civilian deaths the better for the Taliban.

fify
then again the tactics can be the same.
The days of standing out in open fields wearing red coats is long gone.
The example of modern day 'counter insurgency' tactics is Aleppo....
not Raqqa.

Just because ISIS placed civilians in harms way in their controlled area in Syria does not mean child rights champions Nikki Haley and Ivanka Trump did not have the right to be outraged and heartbroken. Hope you were not speaking out against their reactions and calls for dropping bombs in Syria.

The 'take out their families' one.

Wow, now recall had heard some chatter about this. But did he really say that or was fakenews, will need to validate. He doesn't seem llike the kinda guy who would deliberately support killing of children and women and civilians of any race.

We'll never know for sure what is fake news and what is real until Trump builds his new worldwide MAGA media empire to tell us the truth directly.

Ok I stand corrected, he did talk about taking out families.
But two and two don't add up, le later bombed Syria because allegedly families were being taken out by anti-ISIS Assad military in its fight against ISIS:

Perhaps some other folks with better understanding of tenants of MAGA's Foreign Policy regime can clarify things.
