Let’s hope both of those aggressor countries leaders get assassinated before this escalates into WWIII.

There's exactly zero chance of this escalating into WW3. Russia isn't going to rush to Iran's defence, and neither is China.

to both be replaced by worse figureheads?

No. Revolution first, then trials and executions.

Executions works just as well, just do it before this shit balloons out of control.

I was really hoping this was one of his bluster things

'Watch what leaders do, not what they say'. Things like US forces around Iran biggest since 2003 display costly signaling.

Dear Jonas:

Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

Cool I guess it was inevitable, but I didn't think I'd wake up to World War 3 officially starting.

WW3 is not starting, it's not even close.

Don't be so dramatic.

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club · 1 pts · 178d (2 replies)

I do wonder about what point we can say it has.

Skiluros@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 178d

You'll know, believe me.

I live in Ukraine, so I know what a war starting is like (and living through it).

When the internet goes down.

They won't call it World War 3 until after it's over.

Here's my $.02

Israeli intelligence has tech that they claimed was able to reverse engineer Signal encryption. They likely hacked/uncovered US gov info from chats and are blackmailing/extorting Trump into whatever shit Israel wants them to do. By no means am I sticking up for Trump, but there's probably some deal where they can both profit from it, so Israel leveraged secret data and positioned US to help out. Of course anything for another buck, so trump is in.

Then to justify it to the American people, "they have weapons of mass destruction" like the Bush admin did, so by these claims they just do what they want.

These are the vibes I get without reading any news articles. I don't follow Iran, Gaza, Israel, Palestine, etc. It's not my business. I just know that Trump likes money, likes corruption, and like to fuck anyone over any chance he gets. He's probably the one who replaced Epstein and runs his own operation, because he thinks he can do it better, and since he's sitting president, he thinks no one will step up and face him-which is mostly true because he got dirt on so many other politicians... Corruption at its finest.

More likely Israel offered trump a cut of the profits

Sometimes it's easier not to overthink it

Or, you know, the oil and related lobbies are at it again.

WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 178d

Nah bro. My vibes aren't vibing with any of your historically accurate suggestions. FYI I know nothing about anything. I'm just slopping my $.02 here.

or they offered him a shiny medal.
