Genuine question, if this was any other country posting videos like this showing Americans/anyone else being destroyed, would it all still be LOL worthy? Or have expectations for the US Gov fallen that low that them posting war footage mixed with memes is just accepted as a US thing now?

Ya when the Palestinians posted videos of them raping and killing Jews on OCT 7 it wasn't funny. The surreal nature of the US posting Memes tied to war and destruction isn't lost on people. But it is directly tied to the events around the world that have shaped global communication. There has been a breakdown as to what is acceptable. The IRGC and Iran leadership getting obliterated isn't funny, but they had a chance to not have a hot war, but now they are dead.

My major fear in all of this is US troops in Iran. It looks like it is heading that way, but I don't want it. I am still tired from Iraq and Afghanistan.

There's no easy way to say this, but we have a special needs president so the standards are lower for now.

In 2016 he was arrested and convicted on federal charges of attempting to provide material support to ISIS and released from federal custody in 2024.

I thought this was a good daytime intercept.

I volunteer to deploy to the middle east to protect our troops and allies as I appear to have highly relevant experience:

So the incidents that we have right now - several dead people after the initial launch. Then a couple of planes shot due to friendly fire. And now two friendly planes crashing into each other.

All of them could be probably avoided - especially the original attacks on the bases. Though it seems like self inflicted damage is more effective than the iranian attacks at this point.

That's a massive loss. WTF

My alternate proposal for "Operation Hot Cocoa" is looking like the more superior plan every day.

Two tankers collided? That seems odd.

Nope, gas stations are beside each other all the time.

your government has the no-plan plan!!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Of course they did. We don't hate these bards enough. Clearly not as much as they hate us.

I wish we could get the audio of them negotiating right before the war started.

Sure about that?
