      It's not terrorism because it's self-defence and it's not war because Donald Trump says so

        It's beyond the reasonable control of Jeff Bezos. Even though he supports trump with billions of dollars, he didn't ask for this particular war.

          Not true. Bezos could have purchase air defense munitions for his data centers. There is also the argument that this strike is the result of Bezos financially supporting Trump's second term and that without his support Trump's war would never have started
