Reddit never forgets.

I was non-randomly searching for whether college exempts someone from being drafted, and stumbled on this thread from 6 years ago (Jan 3, 2020). Holy shit, one of the responses:

"Lol yes, but that absolutely won't happen.

The IRGC may harass some US shipping more seriously than usual in the Straights of Hormuz, and Shia militias will now doubt try to shell the fuck out of the Green Zone, and definitely get in the streets to confront the anti-Iranian protestors that have been protesting for the last few months, but that is it. US forces are pretty far away from any major Shia militias in Syria and the SAA proper doesn't want to fuck with anyone other than the FSA / Al-Nursa (or what ever they have been rebranded) redoubt in Idlib.

Definitely a bad situation, and Rouhani is going to have to try to kill some Americans to show the resolve of the civilian government to the Ayatollah whose favorite son is now dead, and El Don is always a fucking loose cannon, but the situation is being overplayed as a prelude to no shit inter-state war.

I was more concerned about Russia's invasion of the Ukraine than this tbh."
