People acting like this is going to escalate into WW3 are overreacting to the extreme. I’ve seen people compare this to the assassination of Ferdinand sparking WW1. No way in hell are China and Russia going to throw away everything for fricking Iran.
The thing is that many people just desperately want everything to be bad and “worst case scenario” when it comes to Trump. That’s why they lie and exaggerate every little thing about his presidency.
The biggest threat this country faces is its mainstream media and entertainment industry. All of the news, talk shows, television shows, etc. everywhere you look there is anti-American propaganda.

Absolutely ignorant that we left this psychotic fricker in power for 40 years, and when he finally becomes more moderate we sponsor his removal.
The dude was calling for the unity of palestine and israel...

This is the consequence of eight years of Obama pandering to the mullahs. Let’s remember: Not only did Trump’s predecessor give Soleimani — a man who specialized in mass murder — a pass, but helped fund his terror apparatus with ransom money. It’s no wonder that Soleimani functioned with impunity. Only days after orchestrating an attack on the American embassy, the head of the Quds Force, a U.S.-designated terror organization, felt free to drive around Iraq. Not anymore. As Eli Lake points out, Trump has effectively erased the distinction between Iran and its terror proxies. It’s about time.

No man in the world was directly involved in more conflicts, in more countries, over a longer period than Qassem Soleimani. His death is a HUGE loss for an Iranian regime that's actively fighting 3 cold/proxy wars-with America, Israel, and Saudi Arabia-that could all turn hot

Trump’s inaction after numerous Iranian attacks throughout 2019—against regional oil tankers, a US drone, and Saudi Aramco—led Khamenei to believe, understandably, that Trump was all bluster. Khamenei's open taunting of Trump proved a miscalculation:

One senior US official told me, “it was important to show Iran we own escalation. If they kill one of our men we can kill 30 of theirs. If they attack our embassy we can take out their military commanders”. For US military officials who served in Iraq, Soleimani was enemy #1
