 I totally condemn any kind of celebration of war.  People on X saying "cry harder" or "take that you racist bastards" because Iran struck Israel turn my stomach.  War sucks.  None of it is to be celebrated.  The people being hit and terrorized have fuck-all to do with it.

Even if an assassin takes out the top brass, it is still not a thing to celebrate or cheer over. It's always a sad thing. Sometimes necessary, but always sad.
