Reports both Bahrain and Kuwait air defenses depleted. Open doors. Three American Jets reportedly downed over Kuwait.

One of the three pilots

We're watching the dismantling of the US empire in real-time

@irie is this an exaggeration or do you really believe that 3 downed jets is the dismantling of an empire

@beardalaxy @irie The causes of the downing of these jets, which is incompetence crisis and DEI pilots, are definitely the dismantling of an empire.

@Dubbub @irie we're talking about the same country that stole a nation's leader and his wife with extreme precision and without a single casualty, two months ago.

i hardly believe 3 jets going down is indicative of the "dismantling of an empire."

the three jets being shot down in kuwait was a result of friendly fire from kuwait. it is not unreasonable to think that you won't be shot down by the people you are working with. all the pilots are safe.

iran claims they shot down at least one of these jets but these are the same dudes who make like AI videos of bombing israel and can't hit the tallest building in the world with a drone lmao. they do this kind of shit all the time with their propaganda arm and historically haven't been able to back it up.

it comes down to whether you believe the US or Iran more on these things and, although both countries obviously have plenty of propaganda and conspiracies and cover ups and whatever, i place way more trust in the US than I do in fucking Iran lol. this is the same country that was just barely gunning down their own citizens en masse for protesting the regime, and then reportedly requiring families to pay for their dead loved ones' remains and cutting off the internet so people couldn't share what was happening. i can't believe anyone is siding with these maniacs just because they don't like the US or Israel.

@beardalaxy @irie You are talking shit. Maduro's kidnapping was an inside job, and the Venezuelan military is still intact. Iran is an adversary you can't bribe or bedazzle, Khamenei is dead, it changes nothing. 80 million Iranians and 300 million Shias want to fight the Amerikikes to the death. This is not just one single Maduro.

@Dubbub @irie first of all, i'm sure the entire country and every single shia muslim wants to fight america to the death, or fight at all. riiighhttt. a not insignificant portion of those 80 million iranians were just in the streets protesting, were wanting trump to take action. not to mention how many have been displaced over the years due to the regime.

second, those who do want to kill americans have wanted to this entire time regardless. they might be emboldened by this, but the desire to destroy america, Christianity, and the entirety of the west has ALWAYS been the goal for them. that goes back to the genesis of islam.

did you know iran has potentially the fastest growing Christian community in the entire world?

@beardalaxy @irie You've really swallowed kike propaganda hook line and sinker, you are fedi's dumbest raped kikeslave. Khamenei was the Shia pope. Would Catholics surrender if someone killed the Pope?

Who do (actual, not Judeo-) Christians side with, the West or Iran?

@Dubbub @irie oh look, the guy who ran a country where it is illegal to convert to Christianity (punishable up to death) is calling for Christian unity. he only cared about Christians to the point they could be used, much like the jews do. muslims have a reason to be upset at the olympics debacle because they also revere Jesus Christ, but do you really think this dude likes Christianity? hell no.

iran is not wholly righteous simply because they oppose israel. they can murder and imprison Christians, fund terrorist groups, kill their own citizens for protesting, shut down their internet, rape children, but as long as they're against kikery they're le good guys eh?

is it so absolutely insane to hate both of them? khamenei wasn't a good person, and that should be easily identifiable to anyone who isn't ideologically captured.

i side with the Christians in Iran. i side with the Christians in the west. i reject those who use Christians for their own gain and wish to see Christianity subverted. it's not that hard of a stance to take.

i actually don't think catholics would take any real action. the max i could see beyond calls for peace and unity would be through diplomatic channels.

there are certainly muslims in the world who are saddened by khamenei's death, there are probably a lot who largely agreed with him. but are they all going to take up arms? no. and if they do, they will be crushed. you see the video of the guys rushing the US embassy in pakistan getting absolutely obliterated? good fuckin luck. there will be no "dismantling of an empire" here. we are far more likely to be dismantled from a slow decay from the jew shit, so we can and should push back against that.

the thing that really matters here is that the Iranian people wanted him gone and now he's gone. there's going to be some roughness for the time ahead, but i ultimately think this is a net positive for the world, certainly for Christians, and i'm not going to let my hatred of jewry blind me to that.

@beardalaxy @Dubbub @irie my favorite part is the lgbt bsky users defending them
My brother in Christ they will force you to get a sex change for being gay and you're simping for them because you wanna get back at your dad for voting for bush in 04

@PurpCat @irie @beardalaxy Who are you faggots and why do you crawl out of the woodwork every time Pissrael is attacked. Go back to your furry porn forums

@Dubbub @irie @beardalaxy while you're distracted with Iran it's time to let you know that they're rolling out os level age verification btw
https://youtu.be/eCtWeNwOb9w

@PurpCat this is a completely different issue lol but, i hadn't read into this at all before now. seems like it doesn't require identification or anything like that at all, it's basically just an "input your birthday" thing. then developers use that OS-level variable to see what age bracket you fall into.

not the worst thing in the world by far. i haven't watched the full video but i read through comments and it seems like a lot of people in there are genuinely freaked out it's identification stuff and just not a simple "put your age in this box" prompt. that's despite louis clearly saying what it is. i thought it was ID stuff before i went and actually just looked at the bill because of the pandemonium lol.
