Over 85 Targets Hit In U.S. Retaliation Strikes Against Iranian Proxies, IRGC

So, do we get to start calling what's happening everywhere world war 3 or is there like some committee that meets on this?

Once some major players start conscripting people I think it'd be reasonable to call it WW3. This is the preamble
- Hasn't russia been conscripting for a couple of years now?
It's a world war only when western european countries are involved. Otherwise it's just sparkling conflict.
It's not a war until the other side is able to fight back.
It's never a world war until it's over and the dust settles on the graves of millions around the globe.

U.S. military forces today conducted strikes on seven facilities, which included more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria, that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated militias use to attack U.S. forces. This is the start of our response. The President has directed additional actions to hold the IRGC and affiliated militias accountable for their attacks on U.S. and Coalition Forces.

damn straight, feel the love

Need to make space for the raiders which came in early and under budget.
- Came in early and under budget
  Title of your sex tape!
- Under budget for who? I didn't think it was NG and the government already has a contract with a price.

Hopefully, they don't lose 1/3rd of their navy accidentally... again.

Why are you hoping that they don't? Given the shenanigans the Iranian navy has been up to, promoting much of it to submersible status would be a good thing.
- Well, to be honest, this was a sarcastic comment to the time the US did accidentally sink more of their navy than intended. (A little more than 1/3 if their operational force.) The original goal was only 4 platforms IIRC. It may have grown a scotch before the end.
  Which probably doesn't mean much to the sailors. Hind sight being 20/20 and all. Still a bit of an oops.

The attacks are the first of many expected to take place.

Washington Post's Dan Lamothe has said that while the U.S. struck more than 85 individual targets in Iraq and Syria, these were spread just eight general locations in those two countries.

U.S. officials have stressed that there is no plans currently to strike targets in Iran.

we dont need to strike Iran directly. once their international assets get frozen they've got a limited window where they can do anything, and we just blew up most of their anything.

finally Biden authorizes something.

Good luck hitting them at 30,000 ft while they rain destruction on the assailants attacking civilian shipping.

Turning the other cheek to these people just invites them to do worse.
Don't fire when fired upon, then. Sounds like a good way to get hit by a second round.
- Don't interfere with the US or it's vassal states while they are busy comitting genocide.
- Bin Laden viewed the lack of response to the USS cole bombing as an absence of 'chops' of the US to strike back, hence he intensified his plans to force the US out of the middle east.
  To be fair though, Bin Laden was prepper and conspiracy theorist so it might not have influenced him heaps.

Isn't this all because the usa is supporting Israel and Iran is pushing back against countries supporting the genocide there?

Ah yes Iran, that great bastion of human rights where they throw gay people off buildings and stone people to death.
Iran doesn't give a shit about Palestinians. Instability in the region keeps them in relative power. Everything they do should be viewed in that light.
- Iran has politically, materially aligned itself with Palestinian liberation while the united states has aligned itself with Palestinian genocide. Your childish propagandized delusions about their motives are irrelevant. No amount of racist trope pushing is going to change it either.
- At least a woman can get an abortion in Iran lol. Glass houses and what not.
  Also, your country should stop supporting genocide. I believe that was the topic.

Hell yeah we just won in Afghanistan this is a great moment to start another winnable war in the middle east. Thanks Biden.

Iran is not Afghanistan. They are massively different countries.
End of list.
- Are they both in the middle east? Cause that's what he said.
  And Iran and Afghanistan aren't as different as most other nations.
"Start"

The idiot puppet of Israel.
They're happy to throw away money like this and then complain about the sorry state of their democracy. Americans..

There are some posts that always seem unbalanced considering the communities voting history. This seems like one of them. Do the mods or users have a way to check on bots?
- Are you saying that I am a bot?
Look at you, simping for Iran.
- Yeah, that's how the world is: black and white. You must be known as a great mind among your people.
- Well I must maybe learn your wisdom about cucks to be able to discuss at your level 👍
