It's fitting because at the end of that episode, they learn that the US was in fact the alien invaders declaring war on other planets.

And Israel just bombed the location again. Guess the US didn’t obliterate it.

you mean Trump is a fucking hypocritical scum? no way!

This statement from Trump is unsurprisingly disinformation. Most people interpret "nuclear sites" as nuclear bombs instead of completely legal power stations for civilian infrastructure.

Please don't recite this disinformation uncritically. That's just recycling propaganda.

Instead it's worth emphasizing that the zio regime actually has rogue nukes and is using them to threaten the planet with a nuclear holocaust. That's the actual problem.

A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site...NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!

How the F*** can anyone use these two lines in a single paragraph. Absurdity here is comical

War is Peace. Freedom is slavery.

I mean, atleast we're safe from nuclear bombs, am i right?

The worst part is, international laws and conventions are basically means nothing at this point. US actions simply incentivizes more countries to get mass-destruction weapons.

  • Does US call you as 51. state? Get a nuke.
  • Does US want to invade your island? Get a nuke.
  • Does US want to airstrike your country? Get a nuke.
  • Does US government officials breach your constitutional rights? Maybe consider owning a mini-nuke.

Thanks to these maniacs, Kim Jong Un now seems to be wisest person on the earth...

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.

Reports are that there is no increase in radioactivity at the bombed sites, so there either was no radioactive material, it was stored somewhere else, or it remained contained.

This community is in trouble. America bombed and colonized my country. But I said it’s time America gets to feel war at home, instead of just dropping bombings on brown countries and i got my comments removed, like this one probably will be.

If you can criticize Israel, Iran, Russia, but not the U.S, you know this community is screwed. Im indigenous/Latino and I’m getting banned for saying the U.S deserves what’s coming

What an absolute joke.

I can just imagine him writing it, hunched over, peck-hunting for the keys. He starts typing bombs. No, he thinks. Slowly backspaces. Starts giggling to himself as he presses the caps lock key. "This will show them how serious I am about my bombs!"

peck peck peck "B-O-M-B-S"

Probably sits back in his chair admiring it for a moment. "Perfect. Very strong. Very powerful bombs."

Then immediately starts typing about peace in the same shouty caps because why not? Everything deserves caps lock! BOMBS! PEACE! WHATEVER!

Then ends it with "Thank you for your attention to this matter" like he just sent out a memo about updating the office dress code instead of announcing he bombed another country.

It's such a weirdly formal, corporate sign-off after the most unhinged announcement possible. As if bombing other countries is just another agenda item he's keeping us informed about. Very considerate of him to loop us in on World War III via Twitter memo.

Absolutely deranged.

This is what happens after a failure of a parade and being laughed at enough to leave the g7 early. This was his ego boost he needed. Oh. And oil or something.

Any member of the US army is a criminal, you are not defending your nation, you are attacking another one.
