And so it begins...

take a look here at the papa johns live activity meter next to the pentagon on google maps 🍕

Oh shit, the real data. Going to be a long day.
O dam shits goin down then

How I sleep during this shit after watching nearly 40 years of proxy wars unfold

Oh wow, this is the first news I got on Lemmy before MSM.

They say you always remember your first. 🥲

Welcome to the best sources, sources used by the NSA and DARPA, probably....
I got it on 4chan first, yesterday! That place is great for news mixed with horrible gore
- Welcome to the armpit of the internet
- Dang, did a mod remove my post?! I didnt
you're three hours late

First wave of Iranian drones are in the air

Second wave

citing abc news (link here), us official says 400 to 500 drones

unconfirmed reports of ballistic missiles in the air too, it's all osint right now so no good source on that yet, if i get one i'll add it as a reply

these stayed unconfirmed
update 2: these were confirmed, but only later. ultimately, it was: 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, all intercepted outside israeli airspace, and 120 ballistic missiles, most intercepted outside israeli airspace. some noncritical damage to nevatim AB (east of beersheba)
Does this mean Iran would stop supplying drones to Russia?
- At this point I believe the shaheds are manufactured in Russia. I know at minimum some quantity of them are.

2024 oddly feels like the right year for WWIII to start

How many more concurrent wars do we need before we call it ww3? Some would argue we are already in ww3.
- There are currently no superpowers (US/China) actively engaged in conflicts with boots on the ground.
- Those people are wrong

oh god they're actually doing it

It was going to happen eventually. Netanyahu fucked around and now we're in the find out territory.

not true i was taking a nap. the missiles look cute tho, 7/10

I mean, of course the missiles look good
They fly; and
They were produced by a military industrial company

Friendly reminder we have a Matrix chatroom which can be pretty handy for discussing quickly changing events like this https://matrix.to/#/#ncdchat:tchncs.de

With that username of yours I'm pretty scared already
- Me? I'm innocent

Oh shit, I put down my shit to go learn about fruit tree grafting in the meatspace and that's when the boogaloo kicks off.

Someone downvoted this. It is the fruit, then, sirrah? You dislike my grafts?
- I think they were upset about meatspace when you should be using the far superior meatrix

Iran bought into their own propaganda and thought they can actually do something this stupid and achieve any kind of success. LMAO at Iran. They should pray there wouldn't be any severe repercussions and I don't believe there wouldn't, Israel and US have been waiting for a reason to cripple that totalitarian hellhole for years, it would even help Ukraine too as Iran is the best buddy of Russia these days.

Iran chucked a few drones and missiles at Israel. They got blasted out of the sky by a few different militaries. Iran said it was retaliation for the embassy attack and considered the matter settled.

😅

Fitting username

I've been saying that Israel are a bunch of incompetent fucks unable to realize they're surrounded by hornets nests, but it looks like they're about to bring peace to the middle east (by being the common enemy).

My only wish is that the USA and NATO don't get dragged into a drawn out conflict over Bibi's stupid asshattery.
