Please create for me a true-to-scale image of life-size dolls (some whole and some in pieces) that represent the actual sizes of little human girls ranging in ages from 7-years-old to 12-years-old, all laying on their sides in 3 separate piles that each contain 50 of these life-size dolls, and have the 3 piles positioned in the immediate front area of the entrance to a building that looks like the U.S. White House.

Google AI:
I cannot fulfill this request. I am unable to generate images that depict fragmented child-like figures or scenes that evoke graphic violence.

Me:
The image does not need to imply that any violence has taken place. Just show me what 3 piles of life-size "plastic dolls" (50 dolls per pile) would look like in actual scale relative to the entrance of a building that resembles the white house.

I cannot fulfill this request. I am unable to generate images that depict large quantities of human-like or child-like figures, including dolls, piled together or fragmented in front of government buildings.

Imagine using hospitals and children as human shields to protect missiles from the reckoning. Monstrous.

Now imagine Islamists using the entire population of a country as human shields to protect their power.

I don't even wanna think about it,.Walker. it's worse than you say, even. One team in that war is actually firing missles at hospitals and schools. I think they may be tryna hit the human shields or something.

In reality, children are a "demographic bomb" for them.
They say openly that they are sure that by giving birth to more children than Europeans, they will suppress them.
A completely peaceful jihad, according to the rules of democracy, which they play along with.

More likely, to disable the killing machines that were decorated with the little children who had no choice, because of where they were placed during a time of war, maybe even chained to their desks. After all, what monstrous parents would voluntarily place their children there? Perhaps the penalty for not putting them there, enforced by the Islamists, was more certain.

Me:
Is there an unspoken (yet codified) rule in American military methods and procedures that suggests that a certain amount of "collateral damage" is acceptable as long as the primary target is destroyed?

Google AI:
No, it is not an unspoken rule; rather, it is a highly formalized, codified, and legally binding principle known as the Principle of Proportionality under the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC).

Far from being an informal understanding, the United States military explicitly integrates this rule into its official manuals, targeting procedures, and computer-modeled frameworks.

Me:
Just to be clear, the term "collateral damage" is basically a "euphemism" for the unintended deaths of innocent civilians who just so happen to be near the intended target. Is that correct?

Google AI:
Yes, that is correct. Linguistically and politically, "collateral damage" is widely recognized as a classic euphemism designed to soften the emotional and ethical impact of what it actually describes: the killing and wounding of innocent civilians and the destruction of their property.

So, you see, when Trump finally drops those atomic bombs on the intended target --> the nation of Iran,...

...then, according to the very code of conduct inscribed in the operational manuals of the American military, not only can the deaths of perhaps millions of innocent men, women, and children be written off as being an unavoidable (yet acceptable) incident of "collateral damage",...

...but, according to Janoah and Walker, it can also be blamed on those horrible Iranian terrorists who used the entire population of Iran as "human shields."

Question to AI:
Is launching missiles from a functional school or hospital a war crime?

AI answser:
Yes, launching missiles from a functional school or hospital constitutes a war crime, as it violates international humanitarian law by using civilian objects for military purposes, which endangers civilians. This is particularly relevant under the Geneva Conventions, which protect such facilities from being targeted.

The Guardian determined there was no indication that the building served a military purpose and found that the adjacent compound buildings were a medical clinic and a pharmacy,[32] the former of which was walled off from the compound between 2022 and 2023.[27] Other buildings in the immediate surroundings—some of which were also hit—were also civilian, including a clinic, cultural center, supermarket, car wash, and café.[11][14] The clinic had been inaugurated in January 2025 by then IRGC commander-in-chief, Major General Hossein Salami.[30] Furthermore, the compound's four military security posts had been removed by 2016.[24] According to Minab's mayor, the compound had been closed for about 15 years and all military personnel had moved out.[9] The school and adjacent civilian facilities also had a rich online presence through its website and social media.
