This feels a lot like start of a WW3 for the third time in past few years.

First it was Russia-Ukraine war, then it was Israel Hamas conflict, now its this.

There are theories online that say it was a symbolic attack and that they even warned Iran where and when they would strike.

First some technical stuff and facts:
There is much doubt even bunker busters would do significant dammage to Iranian facilities.
At an estimated 90 -120 meters depth they are well below the range of their capabilities (60 meters).
And they are heavily protected by various layers and nobody knows where they are exactly.
Only the entrance and building on the surface is visible.
The US have only used them once against Yemen and claim they could go deeper by doing double taps.
This has obviously never been tested.

Now some speculation:
The Americans knew they only had a small chance of success (despite the reported mission success propaganda) and 100% certainty of committing an act of war.
Then why would they do it?
Fact is the genocide state is getting hit harder and harder, as Iran announced they would.
There is huge devastation and the situation is untenable.
They realise they have bitten off more than they can chew and already showed signs of weakness.

The US 'taking out' the imaginary threat and casus belli would solve that problem and give the genociders a way out of the war without losing face.
As the Iranians said they would stop attacking if they did.

For Trump it would OC be a huge media victory showing how powerful they are and how they saved the poor genociders.

Too soon to tell what is true for now.
We'll have to see what the actual dammage is, if Iran strikes back and if the war ends.

I honestly thought he wasn't a war monger judging from last term. Man, was I wrong. He's a complete POS.

Republicans, you can fire him at any time, you're letting this happen.

I don't think he knows what the word "peace" means.

[–] blackluster117@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

sigh, that settles that then. More blood will be spilt before any of this comes to an end. Shame, shame on all of us for allowing this to pass. May God have mercy on us all.

He made a typo. It should read "there is not another military in the world that would have done this"

[–] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 22 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Didnt he promise not to start a war?

[–] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And he didn't, he's starting peace like it says in the tweet

When Bush got the US into a war in the middle east, he at least did it after a terrorist attack on the US (which had nothing to do with Iraq, but he was able to fudge that part), and as a result of the stupidity of Americans, he had a 60+% approval rating at the time.

Trump didn't even manage a false flag or anything, as a result, a lot of conservatives are pissed off about this. Probably not enough to crack the MAGA coalition, but every little bit chipped away from it helps. With margins in the senate and house so close, it's actually possible that he could be stopped by congress and the US doesn't become a failed state, instead merely becoming an illiberal democracy.

But, what I wonder is if this will actually win him any converts from the Democratic side. I bet there are ultra pro-Israel people who were formerly Democrats who actually think this is a good idea, and will now start supporting Trump. Still, I think he's going to lose 90 MAGAs for every 10 Democrats he gains.

Hopefully this doesn’t backfire af on American civilians..

[–] martin4598@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Sorry, but I hope it does. Aggression must have consequences, or there is no justice.
