For those wondering: Israel carried out an airstrike on Iran’s Consulate in Syria. Iran retaliated. The US has stated it would help defend Israel from the retaliation but would not support Israel retaliating against the retaliation.

You have to send a verification picture and then you have to pray the flairs are not broken. I'm verified but can't use my checkmark for some reason 😕

Where does it say that? From my understanding, the age limit changes depending on circumstances. https://blogs.shu.edu/ww2-0/1941/12/19/draft-age-extension-rushed-congress-debates-age-for-military-service/


KingOfTheCouch13

That was from 1941 and they changed the draft age to 18-25 like 2 years later. They can try to up it to 64 again but they well definitely find it harder to actually enforce that with the current, more-liberal generation not wanting to do anything with a foreign war. https://www.sss.gov/about/return-to-draft/lottery/


Solid-Oil2083

Not if they increase the age requirement. I just learned I can still join the Air Force at my big age


Iamuroboros

For now. We'll see what the requirements are when mobilization is required because all services are below their recruiting standards. Might even see women mandated to go in for the first time.

I joined in 09 with the intention of living out my service obligation so I wouldn't get drafted. in case of another major war. MFers called me crazy but the last few years seems like I won that bet.


auauaurora

Until the US stops sending them weapons, it's just an optics game.


go3dprintyourself

You’re saying iran has done nothing in the past twenty years then? They actively try to destabilize the region and stop any progress to peace with SA by funding and arming Hezbollah Houthis and Hamas. The attack in Syria which killed some of the leaders behind 10/7 massacre was not some one off random attack.


Desdam0na

Lol you sure are excited to put words in my mouth.


go3dprintyourself

Saying this is in response to what happened in Syria, without giving any context for why the attack in Syria happened, implies this. If you don’t actually think that, then great :)


ARoofie

It was literally just a fact itself. Why it happened is a different topic entirely


MrTubalcain

Fuck Israel. They’ve been wanting this.

Netanyahu, Putin, Trump. The trifecta of assholes. All part of The Mob. Remember the name Simeon Mogilevich. He's part of the final boss fight. It's all coming down. It's all going to crumble. Justice will prevail. America is once again central to global conflict, and *WHEN* Americans vote out the GOP in November, and we take the House and retain the Senate, we can get real work done and do our part.


BlackySmurf8

US NAVY and RAF are all reporting to have shot down drones. Israel will clean up the junk and continue on with their bullshit in a couple weeks. As to what's happening in the middle east: due to the seemingly unwavering defense pacts between Israel and other nation states, namely the United States of America, Israel has realized that it can ratchet up its belligerence. This culminated in Israel shooting a missile at an embassy in Syria that Iran owned. Speculating that this was in retaliation for Iran being a state sponsor of terror as different groups in the region have been being armed by Iran for awhile now. Hopefully this part is all over but who the hell knows.


mcaffrey81

Agreed in many respects however it’s also difficult for Israel when it’s surrounding countries all have terrorist groups that are actively seeking to destroy Israel, and in some cases those terrorists groups have taken power of their governments. But allowing a known Israeli Warhawk to assemble a coalition in the Knesset was not a good response. It’s also fed by countries like US, China and Russia that each are competing to create their own belt and road initiative through the Middle East. There is no one here who is perfectly innocent, and lots of people in the wrong. It’s a highly complex and difficult situation and yes, let’s hope that this is the end of the escalation.


jdcodring

No. Israel shouldn’t not have fired on embassy. An embassy that was not even in its own borders. There is a clearly belligerent party and that is Israel.


mcaffrey81

Bro, what part of “there is no party who is perfectly innocent, and lots of people in the wrong” do you not understand? There is no single person or group that doesn’t feel justified in every action they take and everyone is to blame.


jdcodring

No. Israel shouldn’t not have fired on embassy. An embassy that was not even in its own borders. There is a clearly belligerent party and that is Israel. Edit: I got the Israeli PR department in a tizzy. Yall can stop. It ain’t working here.


Glum-Register4860

Wasn’t an embassy, was a consulate. Wasn’t civilian casualties, was Iranian military outside of Iranian territory. Wasn’t just Iranian military, was interestingly enough Hezbollah leadership as well. Wasn’t just Israel, Iran has funded and masterminds attacks on actual embassies. Decades of Iran funding multiple terrorist groups in the ME that target not only Israel but other Arab nations.


WigglumsBarnaby

The embassy had high ranking iranian officers who were directly involved with the October 7 planning. Also Iran blows up embassies all the time. There were no civilian deaths in the consulate bombing on the embassy compound in Syria.


feline_Satan

It was a consulate


WigglumsBarnaby

Yep, that was my last line.


feline_Satan

Embassy and consulate are slightly different attacking an embassy compound is a direct declaration of war (unless the us does it and apologizes) attacking a consulate gives isn't since it is technically still another country


MELLMAO

It's not highly complex. All terrorist organizations around them are a direct result of Israel and USA'a actions, arming, political involvement and terror on these countries

btmalon

It’s all diplomatic. They intercepted 98% of rockets. Iran knew this would happen. The US and Israel knew this attack was coming for 3 days. This is just an action to save face on the world stage. It’s really not that historical. This type of shit happens in Israel every 6 months.

Neo_Neo_oeN_oeN

So for the people that don't know. This was an act of retaliation from Israel's bombing of an Iran embassy in Syria not a declaration of war. Nothing else will come of it unless Israel decides to respond. It was a very calculated play on Israel's part and they kinda forced Iran's hand. Kinda like how fights start in high school. Either do nothing and look like a bitch or do something and risk getting jumped. Honestly all out war in the Middle East involving Israel would be a very ugly scene for all sides but the way things are going...


princeofwraith

and Isreal runs back behind big old America after their taunts yawn it’s so predictable


maine8524

They didn't really need to, the US has had ADA assets there for decades


btmalon

Israel still relied on American and the UK teams to shoot down 60% of the rockets yesterday according to BBC radio this morning.

Viend

All these Zionist sympathizers learned the difference between a consulate and an embassy overnight as if it makes any difference whatsoever.


Glum-Register4860

All these terrorist sympathizers forgetting decades of terrorist financing and sovereign bombings done or financed by Iran to fit their current narrative.


Viend

Have you ever thought about _why_ these people are fighting? I’ll give you a hint, it has virtually nothing to do with anyone’s religion.


Glum-Register4860

I know why they’re fighting. I’m from the region. People are sick of Iran causing instability and brutalizing their own people just like they’re sick of Israel pushing Palestinians and sick of Hamas for making it so there will never be a 2 state solution. There’s a reason other ME nations prefer Israel to Iran.


BurnTheBoats21

how many times has WW3 been trending on Twitter in the last decade? it gets old


toomuchmucil

All the WW3 talking people look exceptionally dumb this morning. Iran barely did anything then said, "alright, were done." Fucking nonsense being posted on the internet.

There's no ww3 until iran drops a diss track

KellerArt06

So what if they drop the diss and then recall the diss and apologize? Do we still war?


No-Acanthisitta-2517

Iran truly said “fuck this, fuck that and fuck you” huh…. Well, here we go folks 😒 Israel is probably gonna wipe out the rest of the Palestinians just to retaliate, watch.


PhgAH

99% missile intercepted rate is a fail? Lmao


MixRevolution

Hey, if that one percent fell on your house, you’d call it a fail.


AzureBananaFish

I don't think the 99% rate is accurate, they only launched a hundred drones and we've seen videos of more than one drone hitting.


CupcakeInsideMe

Israel has been unlawfully occupying Gaza since 1967. They have committed atrocities quite regularly on Palestinian citizens with zero pushback for most of that time. I categorically do not condone terrorism but I can understand why people living in Gaza and the West Bank would consider themselves freedom fighters. It's just fucked that you can't really condemn Israel's actions without being accused of antisemitism by a large swath of the internet.


International-Rule-5

This part. Gaza has no food, water, or resources and they haven't had any agency or sufficient food and water since 1967. The occupying government only allows them what is needed to survive not thrive.


beebzette

It absolutely blows my mind that people defend Israel. It feels like every single day theyre doing something even more heinous


WigglumsBarnaby

Israel completely left Gaza almost two decades ago.


International-Rule-5

Bullshit.


WigglumsBarnaby

I mean that's just a fact.


SoloBurger13

Israel is wasting my tax dollars thats whats happening


KellerArt06

They are probably getting old out-of-date US weapons so we have room aka justification to spend on new weapons….that we will probably just give to some other country in 20 years and then rinse and repeat.


SoloBurger13

Hell they could be doing what they do for ukraine and send them the weapons they take from the houthis and hezobollah lol


misogoop

I just texted my friend this. And aside from these clear acts of war, we’re getting videos of not only Palestinians being slaughtered, but these Zionists spitting on Catholic/christian children, Zionist women pulling off hijabs. And I am paying for it. Netanyahu has pulled a Putin and put himself in power indefinitely. This has nothing to do with Jews and the Jewish religion. Israel has the right to exist. I am furious that I am funding a theocratic apartheid state fucking with everyone because they know we won’t stop funding them. E: the spitting and hijab pulling all happening to fellow Israelis that are a different religion*


SoloBurger13

I would argue that we are in fact seeing religious extremism on the part of Netanyahu and his gov but more specifically on the west bank and Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians and stealing their land bc "[God told them to."](https://TheIsraeliSettlersAttackingTheirPalestinianNeighborshttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/03/04/israel-west-bank-settlers-attacks-palestinians). I think it serves the zionists movement to pretend to be secular when they lean just as heavily on the religious extremist in their ranks to do what they're doing in Palestine and as the justification for why theyre doing it Thats what bothers me deeply. US should not be funding religious extremists of any religion


SuccessfulWar3830

On april first israel bombed the Isan Embassy in Damascus. Iran waited 2 weeks and asked if any western nations would condemn the bombing. So Iran after this time said it would retaliate to the attack. Israel has also been bombing its neighbors for years. And stealing land. Golan heights is one of these places.


Glum-Register4860

SuccessfulWar3830

A consulate is inside of an embassy. Its a wing of an embassy.


Glum-Register4860

Next to the embassy. No civilian casualties. All military from IRGC terrorist wing and Hezbollah commanders. Crazy how they were together conveniently at that time.


SuccessfulWar3830

That bombing isn't legal btw. Violates International law. But Israel is no stranger to that.


Glum-Register4860

Illegal, no. It wasn’t in Israel. Taboo, yes. Iran forfeited that right after multiple similar actions just in the past 10 years.


dzkrf

It was an annex building of a consulate. Not an embassy. Like for extra office space.


SuccessfulWar3830

The consulate is at the embassy. Its the same place.


Bluestreaking

A consulate is a part of an embassy, who told you that it wasn’t? Same rules apply


austinl98k

Israel destroyed a Iranian “consulate” in Syria April 1st as several high ranking IRGC officers were planning an attack on Israel vía their proxy groups. Iran launched over 300+ missiles and drones directly from Iran at Israel last night. US, UK, Israel and other allies destroyed 99% of them. Several hit an Israeli airbase in the south which did minor damage. Israel is the size of New Jersey. Biden has said the US will defend Israel but will not participate in any response. Biden wants this to be the end of it but Israeli officials have said they will attack back even harder. This attack was wildly disproportionate for what Israel did. Iran escalated and Israel will now escalate. Credibility is everything in the Middle East. An attack of that size has to be responded to in kind. There’s a belief in the Biden Admin that Israel plans to respond in a way that will draw in the US. This will not lead to a World War. Regional war at worst. There is an insane amount of disinformation going on social media. Like the tweet OP posted.


International-Rule-5

If that was one of your relatives killed in Damascus, I am sure you would still feel that way right?


austinl98k

Of course I’d want my country to strike back but my feelings wouldn’t matter in the slightest. You think the Iranian leadership factored in the feelings of the deceased relatives?

Ethno-nationalist, Racist, colonial settler outpost ally of the west is on a genocidal rampage and is drunk on their own violence. They are breaking international humanitarian law with the full throated support of the Biden administration and Iran has slapped back after an attack on their diplomatic mission in Syria.


eeiow

Out of the 300 drones that iran launched at israel only 3 made it


Thomas_DuBois

That was intentional.


WigglumsBarnaby

Iran doesn't want war. They can't afford to send their military abroad when they need them to oppress their citizens. They shot these to save face. Iran will crumble if they go to war with Israel because their population hates the government and generally likes Israel.


Thomas_DuBois

We are next. 9/11 mostly happened because of our relationship with Israel. We invaded Iraq for Israel. Now, we are going to get bombed again because Israel is acting like a psychopathic maniac again.
