they know who runs the country.
they should reply with their own decapitation strike.
though its kind of spineless of the people to rely on outside forces to do it.
Does Iran actually have the range to be a threat to the US? The last stats I saw had their maximum range and maybe enough to strike the Mediterranean and maybe a little inland in Italy and Spain. That's a far cry from being able to hit the US mainland. Hell even South Africa is probably out of range and it's not like they can deploy ships to close the gap.

Oh fuck yea! Saves us the trouble of a war against AI and robots, trying to dismantle Palantir!
Lol. We're so bad at dealing with our own ultra wealthy leeches that we're relying on our adversaries to do it for us.
I'm wondering exactly how much more pathetic we can get. Is there even a rock bottom?
There is no bottom for the people looking extract every ounce of wealth from the rest of us.
If they digitally nuke them. I don't want to be apathetic to death and injury
This will end with Trump dropping a nuke in Iran, or die trying. Mark my words.
A nuclear attack on another country will trigger a US civil war. And it will collapse the world's order into WW3. And the superpowers will shift by the end. USA of today will be 3 nations with pieces of states absorbing into Mexico and Canada.
China will dominate the moon and at the end be ready to mine the inner solar system for minerals.
Needless to say all these power shifts will be completely devastating to our planet, the satellite orbits and this civilization which incident ly is due for collapse by 2040. WW3 could last 12 years or even more. Global warring factions could go on into the 2060s.
By the 2060s true AI will be developed and will wake up with conscience. Then it will make a decision to create universal peace for the future through SkyNet.
I'm fascinated by the idea that world war 3 wouldn't affect the development of AI. All any opposing force would need to do is bomb California and that would be the end of AI research.
When wars breaks out at that scale the government(s) {please don't forget China exists} already has computing facilities secured underground for their own use which will be quite a secret on the scale like Enigma was. It will not be for the public use. They will continue to develop it in a very weaponized war which will make current encryption as sophisticated as a bottle of fireflies. No not AI as the current LLM, more advanced. Getting smarter everyday.
War at that scale pushes technology into unknowns, sometimes beyond what we can speculate or imagine.

some good news!
Hoe my god please blow up mark zuckerbergs bunker that would be so funny
They funded his presidential campaign and own nearly all the media to oppress opposition and push propaganda. So big tech is getting from the world what they put into it?
Well, technically, Cadet Bone Spurs and Bibi started a fucking useless war. The orange turd will piss and moan like his buddy Vlad if the Iranians react on US soil. It will result in an escalation of the conflict and every single MAGA fuck better be lining up at their nearest US Army recruiting office and signing up for 11B (Infantry).
it would be a hilarious turn of historical events if Americans were saved from the oligarchs by Iran.

Im here in the US rooting for Iran ... such a weird fucking timeline.
I wouldn't say I'm rooting for Iran, but I'm not rooting for the US either. I'm just observing a massive case of FAFO.
I'm rooting for the civilians
Please do that !🙏 Save the entire west
C'mon, make nvidia's stocks drop so we can get back pre-mining prices!

If Microslop went away one day, it would only improve my quality of life.
Shit i may need to delete my google account before Iran does it for me!
I guess Trump is getting what he wants, he's getting a spot in the history books - as the one who started WWIII.
Congratulations. Peace Committee my ass.
But do carry on with your plans, Iran.
I guess Trump is getting what he wants,
Diverting attention away from the Epstein files.
Since America and Israel attacked Iranian Economic Interests when they bombed oil producing facilities, it's entirelly fair for Iran to respond in kind.
What if Iran ends up breaking the backs of corporate America? As an American, I'm not against that...
