"tragic mistake." Is that what we call war crimes now?
Missing a target due to faulty intelligence or mechanical errors (factors that are beyond the military's control) is not a war crime, purposely killing non-combatants is. The US military doesn't get anything out of killing innocent civilians so they're certainly not doing it on purpose, however we can all agree that these easily preventable "mistakes" occur way too often and are likely caused by operator fatigue and faulty intelligence.
@@namesurname9105 Would we accept "faulty intelligence" and "mechanical failures" as valid excuses if Russia or China did this? I doubt we would. We would be releasing statements condemning them and there would be some sanctions on the people involved. Who has been held accountable this time? This isn't the first time this has happened,at what point does something that keeps happening stop being an accident? Does the military have a culture that doesn't value non American lives? This an institution that let a man who took pictures with the dead body of a man he had tortured to death walk without facing any real consequences and i still don't know what happened to that gunman who shot a journalist from a helicopter and it's over a decade since it happened. The military might not have an incentive to commit war crimes but it has fostered the type of culture that has lead to wars crime being committed,and the only reason they're not called as such is because they control the narrative.
@@jessez8503 I'm not trying to justify the US military's actions, nor am I saying that because it was likely a mistake, nobody should be held accountable. Regardless of what the cause was, the wrongdoer must be punished.
@@namesurname9105 I think those are poor excuses. Humans make errors, yes, but if a leader does not implement processes to mitigate these errors--especially when the impact is the potential loss of innocent life--that's an abdication of responsibility.
You can't launder wrongful killing by saying, "erp it was a mistake" especially when any reasonable observer would have low, if any, confidence in intel analysis that can't realize, hmm, maybe the man is carrying water jugs, not bombs.
ALL war crimes are just tragic mistakes - if you're on the winning side.
"Ignorance isn't an excuse" - except for the US military
Incredible reporting here, now imagine the 100s of strikes that will never, ever see this kind of deep dive
Not trying to get politcal but 2 or so years ago the last admin made it where they didnt have to report strike deaths. So yes your right.
@@Zak-bv4qm This is true, remember the 30 pine nut farmers that got wiped because they were suspected of being ISIS? Who was charged then? No one. Because, like it or hate it, there's almost no accountability for using strikes like these due to "believed threat" covering every perpetrator. When was the last time Turkey, Russia, Israel, the Gulf states or the US were charged with warcrimes? exactly.
Not trying to get political either, but it’s pretty well known that the Taliban/ISIS/and others inflate civilian casualties and often claim women/children deaths. Even if the persons weren’t associated with them, they will use them for their propaganda. Take everything with a gain of salt.
*EDIT:* I’m not belittling what occurred, I only say this because the journalists are likely getting approval from Taliban affiliates in order to get this kind of access, therefore, it’s filtered through them.
@@nobody.123 Every strike done by the US is recorded, hopefully this pressures them to release the footage, unless they realised they messed up and do it later, once no one cares.

You have to understand: The Americans abandon their own people. They think it's okay because of Je$us.
YT / COLLATERAL MURDER . Killing innocent people is in US DNA
I mean, they’ve done it before. To them, it’s like following a precedent.
US "intelligence" is anything but great. This is just another example of that. No one will be responsible for this. No one will lose their job over it. Sorry, you CAN'T blame Biden for this because I am sure he was told by Military "Leadership" they were 100% sure about this and he took their word for it if he was even informed about it at all. Remember all those weapons of "Mass Destruction" that were never found. Just another example of how bad Military "Intelligence" is. They probably get their information from Social Media and like so many they believe anything/everything they read. If it's on line, it has to be true :) The Vice President is DEAD and why no one has seen her. Remember I posted it on Social media, so it has to be true :)
And got 13 Marines most under 24 years old killed.... Biden killed more young people than Covid 19...
That last part just broke my heart. He wasn’t even on the radar for terrorism, not even suspected of anything, he was a full fledged respected member of society with a career as an engineer and humanitarian, actually trying to improve his country better by helping the best he could and if that weren’t enough, had even applied for asylum in the US thinking he and his family would have a better life….only to be killed by the same country due to botched evidence. Just sick smh
He is just one of millions US killed in the name of war on terror. From Afghanistan Iraq Libya Syria Palestine Vietnam Yemen Japan African countries....players are different but same acts
Turns out you can't really gage a situation from a base many miles away, extrajudicial dronestrikes are sick and should be banned.
Suspects should be arrested, not blown up without proper prosecution..

This is how journalism is supposed to be done. Great job!
what's the point of such journalism when their leaders don't care at all and continue doing whatever suits them , its another great tactic of America , attack a country in name of developing it , drops missiles and then let your journalism wash your hands saying " see how independent our journalism is" ,while the leadership don't even care , hypocrites , they scream about women rights , while countries like Pakistan, India , Bangladesh, had and have women Prime minters and presidents , America continues to be ruled by patriarchy , They shout about civil rights while being a country with worse civil disorder , abusing other countries for developing nuclear weapons and forgetting they are the only one who used a nuclear bomb and is responsible for millions of deaths , America created Taliban, they still eye on resources of other countries and thinking they have a monopoly on everything even the moon.
why anything against American government is never reveled by any other international news agency ? because America don't let them ! This is their common practice making their own media question them before any other country try to do ! and if they do , just declare them terrorist nation and invaded and let your civilians think they are paying taxes because their soldiers are at war , in few years America will invade some other country because they need to keep the cycle running

and also honoured with medals for there so called brave acts should all be stood on trial the exact same as Salah Abdeslam and th 19 others standing trial for the same actions
Inshallah they will get justice.

Exactly.
Top notch reporting. Truly excellent work.
So very sad! So very wrong! Thanks for this video. ❤️😢
That is kinda of a war crime right? How can u just blast a civilian car like that?
You only get charged for war crimes of you lose power.
*if
Tell me, what war didn’t have war crimes. You making war sound like a playground of happy fighting. Expect civilians to die every time there’s a war. Innocent people die each day from many things we can prevent, no one cares, everyone cares when the media gets involved.

@@creamydistortion huh id dont like talking about drugs?? Whats your issue?
This is heartbreaking
Wow thats amazing journalism. Those cameras are all in Kabul like could you imagine the work that went into that. Great job NYT
@Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE I think anyone in their right mind would be sad tbat so many us soldiers and afghan American translators being killed anywhere would be sad. People more brave to go under fire risking their whole livelihood to help the US soldiers shoulder to shoulder without a weapon. Now those are heroes. It's a shame their devotion to democracy and promise to give them citizenship stalled out because of xenophobia.
Especially when the same people defend, far right / facsist terrorists. And other domestic terrorists account for over 100 times the terrorist attacks than invading muslim radicals . I feel so bad for people being killed because of the fear right wind media put in their heads.
They're literally 0.01 % less likely to be killed by a terrorist cell or lone gunman radicalized from groups like al quaeda, the old Mujahideen split off groups like isis and other smaller group known groups with murder
If they were actually right in killing him, this just comes to show how expendable lives are to the U.S. military. They've been drone striking people for decades already and statically this has got to be a common occurrence.
Shut up

@@myawallaceee you a clown 🤡 🤣🤣🤣
@@gingerpuncture5053 What problems are you having that you respond this way?
@make a wish Where are the lines? Who should get help? What is help? Why do we do anything?
This is truely some top quality journalism. And I'm especially very moved that you finally dared to report facts instead of CONSTANTLY only parroting US military statements as facts like the other mainstream media. Proper reporting is the first step to bring justice.
While former AJMN® journalists led this investigation, that who would be reliant on subtitles would still find them trying hard to lend credibility to the worldview of "authorities".
The New York Times does plenty of original journalism of top notch quality. What the military announces should be covered as what the military has announced. If you want to take that as fact, that's up to you or you can take it as not fact. It doesn't change the fact that the military made the announcement.
Dare I may, Ms "@@virginiamoss7045": Now that's what I would file as a perfect-candidate for ‘oversimplification’.
@@virginiamoss7045 your entitled to your opinion but mine's that 99 of 100 times, NY times takes a pro corporate/military position. Also, if you mostly report the military or govt version, then it's called PROPAGANDA and it's unfair to expect the average reader to tell the difference.
Sounds like a vice script
This is a world class journalism, hats off 👏
It’s been an extremely long time since I have been able to listen to anything that came from NYT, let alone applaud any of their work. I know it won’t last but it’s nice to see them find and report real truth and not non-stop propaganda
Well done NYT!
This is why we give people trials, not summary executions.
We also give them experimental vacs
It has estimated that between 2.3 percent and 5 percent of all U.S. prisoners are innocent. With the number of incarcerated Americans being approximately 2.4 million, by that estimate as many as 120,000 people may be incarcerated as a result of wrongful conviction.
Actually, we give them summary executions. Who do you think shot the missile?
@@drstrangeluv25 Not only that but sometimes they're also detained and tortured for decades with no trial...
Not even summary execution. It's just a random killing to make Biden look he's doing something.
The sad part is in 5 days no body will remember this and America will be back as the savior of the world. GG No accoutability.
Savior of the world? Yeah I’m an American and I am ashamed and embarrassed of this government and no longer have faith in its functionality and believe every person in this administration should be arrested for treason.
@@firefighter2699 or y'know be served death sentences. The amount of atrocities your leaders have done through out the ages calls for more than just being arrested.
@@firefighter2699 Biden promised us America would be back.
And it is back.
People who voted for Biden should not complain. People who did not vote don't deserve to complain.
@@Misaka-gt5yj wow then who will criticise him? This is a democracy he isn't exempt from criticism.

Thank you for putting the effort into looking at this, to find the truth.
May he rest in piece and may his family find safety and protection.
7 children, 7 innocent children’s lives!!! What they have done to make US, the strongest country in the world , think they are threatening US security? I am speechless and heartbroken….
All who had a hand in this slaughter should be charged in an Afghanistan court, but of course we know that will never happen!
See what NATO was doing in Afghanistan
czcams.com/video/JKQF-Iic3kI/video.html
True. Not only did we abandoned them but we murdered those who were working to help their country.
All who had a hand in 20 years of slaughtering Innocents in Afghanistan should be held accountable to a Afghan Court? That's not going to be very good for the US military. What are we at, something like 20,000 to 50,000 civilians killed?

I'm sorry :(
Ever since I was little I always wanted to go to countries that needed help with things that we take for granted here in Western countries. I'm very ill and wish everyday for better health and in return, use my life to give to others as long as I would keep my health. I would be living the best dream ever just to be healthy, as long as I use the time that I have being healthy to help others. It's so hard to enjoy life when you're not healthy. If I could trade this life for one where I had the best health ever, but only if I help others, even if I was home less but I had good health while helping others, I would do it in a heartbeat
@@Gaetano.94 well if you want to help but are physically unfit you can help by speaking up against the western leaders who have caused our region so much pain and suffering, standing in solidarity with resistance is worth more then you would think.
This is disgusting. I’m so ashamed that my government is murdering people because they live in the wrong country, have the wrong skin, and own a common vehicle. Nothing else about this man indicates anything sinister. And how is a building owned by an American company an unknown compound?? Why don’t you know that!? My heart goes out to his family and friends.

this is the issue. looks like the "intelligence" got confused between the 2 cars. i don't have complete knowledge of ahmadi's lifestyle. but looks like a nice dude.
military wanted to retaliate for attacks on their soldiers, but its very hard when ur enemy keeps hiding among innocent people. at some point they probably just get fed up and bomb them knowing the risk.

How is this not considered terrorism ?. Everyone involved with the drone strike should be considered a Terrorist
So you say "Humanity" and "Democracy" in the U.S. Interesting lies!
More interestingly, it's not first nor last. They're absolute liars
They are hypocrite
Humanity, democracy is a theory/concept, it's already applied in US, but you know, there is a human/person who running the government, which mean they are the one who uphold the concepts, and not every person in governement is good, they have interest beside their duties.
I honestly feel like anyone with common sense could’ve handled this situation way more ethically than anyone at the pentagon…
Not just the pentagon...its from top down. Commander-in-chief (Biden) to the Generals that provide him his info. The US is in trouble...these were the "adults" we replaced the orange man with. US is falling apart.
Oh they're well aware of everything they're doing. They're psychos.
Nice Video, uploaded on my birthday aswell :)
When you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail
