Anyway, the San Diego Naval Amphibious Base Coronado shows the american dream

The Navy has promised to alter the design of one of the buildings on site, which from above clearly resembles a Nazi swastika pitched at the correct 45-degree angle the Nazis used. A report by SFGATE suggests that top officials in the Navy knew what the design of the building would look like prior to the installation.[8][9]

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.

I believe they removed everything of value and movable.
They also filled the entrances with truckloads of sand.
They were prepared.
Also no noticable seismic activity apparently on IRIS (didn't check), which is strange since they work by creating a mini earthquake.

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.

International laws doesnt exist for amrika Fucking scum

[–] SuperiorOne@lemmy.ml 51 points 19 hours ago

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...

Comical is... A word. I'm not even a smoker, but I feel like a cigarette and some liqueur.

I'm so fucking tired...

A perfect presentation of American thinking.

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.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

I have been trying really hard to avoid politics, but this guy just doesn't stop. He's dumb fucking us into oblivion.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 44 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

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 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.

[–] Rainbowblite@lemmy.ca 28 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

WW2 didn't start overnight. There was a series of military actions that went unchallenged. That only made the belligerents bolder.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 19 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Indeed. WW2 was a massive slow-walk into the full war. Everyone saw it coming from a mile away and nobody did anything to stop it. Similar to now where everyone can see that this is going to open more fronts.

At one point all the fronts might band together with more and more suddenly joining each side, and boom you have WW3.

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