Of course not. War propaganda from every side, as usual. Read both sides' propaganda, and also try to find a neutral source.

Trump might envy their control of the population, but we're not there yet.

Do you really think the U.S. intentionally bombed a girls' school?

I do. I suspect they decided the ends justified the means and that may or may not have been founded on good intel,

No different ends then when we bombed a wedding, a hospital or a missionary. A calculation was made that the target justified the collateral cost. They also figured their supporters would excuse it and the opposition would get upset over something anyway.

An educated guess is still a guess.

Bad things happen, tho. i know that. Still. These are serious accusations.

I really don't know, but I expect it was more likely carelessness. They really don't care.

Why wouldn't they just target the naval facilities right next door?

I don’t know what intel they had so I can’t answer although I think that facility also was hit at some point
