Hey now. We didn't start THIS war. Israel did. We just immediately rubbed one out and then gleefully joined in.
So... most of the old memes will probably still work.

Sorry to anyone living in the fascist dictatorship that is the US. Its clear that youve lost your democracy.
Also sorry for all of the innocent civilians living in Iran which are about to go through hell thanks to Israel running off and crying to the US

Its sad how much this sentence damages all democracys around the world. The fact these words have been made true is putins greatest victory. Putin aside, americans played a bigger role in giving up their own liberty. That is even more disgusting.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video that Trump called him after the strikes: “It was a very warm conversation, very emotional.” Speaking in Hebrew, he called Trump a friend of Israel like no one before him.

America did not. The U.S./Donald Trump did.
Ok
Careful there, we all got a lot of "America invades middle eastern country" memes, there's a surprising amount of themes to choose from.
Variety is rhe spice of life.
Sounds like some young people who haven't been through this before. This is not going to lead to a war. The USA has been bombing other countries continuously for decades.
yeah a lot of over reacting going on around here
Might be the toughest opponent we've bombed since Iraq, which technically wasn't a declared war either.
You're absolutely right, this won't likely get bad for Americans. Being so far away with a huge military insulates us from the consequences of our actions abroad.

Yeah, certainly. Only an utter imbecile would attempt symmetrical warfare with the U.S.
Asymmetric is the only way to go, and non-attributability would be the ideal.

I mean, I dont see how it isnt a war already, this kind of thing is an act of war after all, and the other side doesnt have to be capable of equal retaliation for the term to apply.
It doesn't really matter what you call it. W. and Obama normalized not declaring war on the countries you bomb. Unless the US plans to invade, it won't be a war in the traditional sense of the word.
The US hasn't declared war since 1942. It goes back way further than W or Obama.
what was declared during korea or vietnam?
Korea was technically a UN peacekeeping effort. It was just led and mostly done by the US. Vietnam was just the US giving South Vietnam a "little" help. It was called a troop deployment.
Korea was a UN "police action" and Vietnam was a "conflict."
Crucially, Congress did not formally declare war in either case, nor did they for the Gulf war, Afghanistan, Iraq, Grenada, etc.
A conflict.
Oh, so a war. Got it.
No, what it is is a war. What it is declared is whatever works best for the politicians. It's semantics, but there were no declarations by any officials.
...this is... war?.... you want troops on the ground? Careful what you wish for.
you want troops on the ground?
Genuinely don't know what reality you're living in if you are typing this question after reading my comment.
I believe their meaning was, 'Do you have to see boots on the ground before you call it a war?', not accusing you personally of wanting war.
Thank you for clarifying.
My only point with my original comment is that people are freaking out as though this is about to be Iraq War take 3. I see no evidence of that. It would require an invasion.
I mean how many dozens of times have we done something similar to this without anything becoming of it? Didn't Trump literally assassinate an Iranian general during his last term?
Oh. So this is just Tuesday. I guess you should call Iran and tell them. They will be so relieved.

FUCK
What I hope for those in other countries, is that they understand that I had no control or decision of what vagina I fell out of or what dirt I landed on.
I did not choose to be American, I was just born here. And I most certainly do not agree or approve of any war.
I do hope most other decent people might agree with me.
Fuck Donald Turd.
I hear you, the issue for me is that a third of your country people voted for the cunt, another third didn't care enough not to vote against the cunt, which leaves a large majority of Americans complicit in this - enough in my view to effectively use the term as a blanket reference to most people in the country.
Speaking on a more granular level, I wish you well and the best of luck - but the majority of your population can go fuck themselves.
I voted for Kamala Harris. Never liked that orange fuck.
A third did not vote for him. The popular vote was something like 51 to 48, which is insanely close. And a record number of people didn't even vote.
It's more like 1/6 voted for the asshole, and then the dems gave up the win before the night even ended.

Okay I don't think bombing Iran is a partisan issue in America. It's more like a third supports this, half doesn't care enough to act and the remaining sixth is too busy convincing itself that genocide is good if it's the lesser evil. The guilt for this crosses party lines by a fair bit. I mean hell, the only vocal opposition to this is coming from people like MTG and Tucker Carlson, not anyone from the Dem political establishment.

Don't think for a second we dont feel a strong flood emotions when we see the 66% of Americans who are a complete drain on the people around them face consequences for their actions(or inaction). The fact is, it doesnt happen nearly enough and it never changes anything.
