But yesterday the tweet was celebration to destroy Russia and Russians.

[Lt Gen DP Pandey @LtGenDPPandey]

US is arming Ukraine to kill Russians; US is arming Israel to kill Hamas, Hezbollah; US is arming ISIS to kill Syrians; US is arming Turkey to kill Yazidis; US is arming and had armed Pakistan to kill Indians; US had armed Mujahideen to kill Afghans; then Armed others to kill Taliban; US armed terrorists in Pakistan to kill Afghans but then they also killed Indians....actually it will require few books @NikkiHaley to fill the list.
Who should be held accountable?
From your perspective all victims should be held accountable?
It is a war. And great business for US. Chinese have learnt many actions from US. And to make money and invest in stifling enemies is one of them.

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history.

How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing.

Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs.

An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.

For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated.

It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings. So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings.

By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do.

So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale.” It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America. Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951.

How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it.

At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons. Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform.

It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel. Only public outrage can stop this.

If Americans are warriors, let them face our valiant military forces. Why wage war on civilian infrastructure, food supplies, and livelihoods? If they're human, why deny people access to water, food, and medicine? Our people can't be bullied into submission. Iran won't surrender.

Finally another capitulation of the American might. All pomp and glitzs.
Protein shake fed muscles of the US power kneels down again.
Taliban in 2021, could not face off China in trade and Tariff war, and left Zelensky in lurch.
Now this one.
Iranians will never trust US.
US military can only bomb out unarmed merchant vessels.
Failed again.

@CENTCOM World's most powerful Navy establishes dominanace by killing 3 innocent peoples in unarmed commercial ship.

Real cowards.

Let this tweet reach the ears of @sjaishankaroffc @marcorubio 👇🏻

After seeing the zero sensitivity of Marco Rubio over the call for the murder of three Indians by US forces, we must stop calling US a friend and we must wait for a chance to kill equal number of US citizens, that will be the most fair deal

US can attack Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Rwanda , Uganda, Syria etc at their will but they should think twice before attacking anything related to India or Indian

A request from prime minister @narendramodi to boycott the meeting with Trump in France, trump has killed your people and it’s not even 12 days are over , we can’t share a drink with him

Hello Indians
Let us all boycott everything which is American, if the govt can’t do for it’s diplomacy lets us all do it

अमेरिका ने 3 भारतीयों की हत्या कर दी और अब मोदी सरकार को धमकाया भी जा रहा है।

अमेरिकी विदेश मंत्री मार्को रूबियो ने मोदी सरकार के विदेश मंत्री को चेतावनी देते हुए कहा 👇

• अमेरिकी सेना के 'आदेशों का पालन' करना होगा
• आदेशों का पालन न करना 'बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जाएगा'

ये भाषा उस देश की है, जिसने अभी-अभी 3 भारतीयों की हत्या की है। इस भाषा में ना कोई संवेदना है, ना पश्चाताप है, ना ही माफी है।

सबसे शर्मनाक तो ये है कि मोदी सरकार के विदेश मंत्री ये सुनते रहे और हो सकता है कि फोन पर 'Yes Sir-Yes Sir' भी कह रहे हों।

कहां तक हमें अमेरिका से माफी की मांग करनी चाहिए थी, उल्टा अमेरिका हमें ही हड़का रहा है।

आज अमेरिका की इतनी हिम्मत इसलिए हो रही है, क्योंकि मोदी पूरी तरह से compromised हैं।

मोदी की इसी कमजोरी का खामियाजा देश भुगत रहा है।

[Iran Embassy in Indonesia @IraninIndonesia]

CNN calls death of Indian sailors as ‘Collateral Damage.’

The Bush administration used this term in Iraq.

Israel uses the same term for Palestinians in Gaza.

Brown or nonwhite people historically have been and will always continue to be ‘collateral damage,’ for the white man.

Where is the doubt. From chemical weapons to nukes...the worst types of weapons have been researched and tried out first by the American military industry. Fastest, stealthest, largest, most killing or destructive are the advertising concepts.
The possibility of covid coming out of China through US funded lab is just an open secret. Only country to use and test nukes directly on human population is US. No other country.

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय जल में तीन दिन में तीन जहाज़ों पर अमेरिकी हमलों में तीन भारतीयों की मृत्यु हो गई। और हमारे Compromised PM? एक शब्द तक नहीं।

जब कोई विदेशी ताकत किसी भारतीय की हत्या करे, तो प्रधानमंत्री को बोलना पड़ता है। लेकिन मजाल है जो ये एक शब्द बोल जाएं।

अगले हफ्ते G7 में, हमारे नाविकों की हत्या के बस चंद दिनों बाद, मोदी जी मुस्कुराएंगे, गले मिलेंगे और समझौते करेंगे - मगर, उन तीन भारतीयों के लिए उनके पास एक शब्द भी नहीं होगा।

Compromised PM भारत माता के बेटों की रक्षा नहीं कर सकते, क्योंकि जिन्होंने उन बेटों की जान ली उन्हें नाराज़ करने की इनमें न हिम्मत है, न ताकत।

[Lt Gen DP Pandey @LtGenDPPandey]

Americans and Pakistanis are sweating hard to gift a deal to King Trump on his Birthday tomorrow.
A deal to talk about deals later on. Not a deal that he thought of. But a deal to create a narrative.
Mujatba and IRGC should be wary.
Because all previous times of final deal, Americans have started operations.
Never trust a team led by a king whose two tweets are totally different.

[Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal]

A very harsh response from Rubio. Implicitly justifying the killing of Indian mariners.

The US is not upholding peace and security in the Strait. Iran may not be innocent but It is the US that is the cause of disturbing peace and security there by its initial attacks on Iran.

India has to tolerate the killing of its mariners because the US will not tolerate the violation of its unilateral blockade.

Not even a pro forma regret at the killing of civilian unarmed nationals of a friendly country.

Rubio has raised the ante. He has snubbed us.
