'An advertisement warning that U.S. fighter jets were ready to respond to provocations showed up on a dating app in Lebanon.
The warning appeared online last week in Arabic beneath pictures of U.S. warplanes: “Do not take up arms against the United States or its partners,” it said, noting that America “will protect its partners in the face of threats from the Iranian regime and its proxies.”
And to underscore the message: Central Command is “fully prepared” and ready to employ F-16 and A-10 aircraft “currently in the region.”
Séamus Malekafzali, a freelance journalist based in Lebanon, encountered Tinder advertisements purportedly from U.S. Central Command warning against joining Iranian-backed militants on Aug. 22. This ad was linked to a Central Command post on X, Malekafzali said.
i just love it when the massive superpower personally threatens me through one of my phone apps
They’re scared
imagine you’re getting no matches and then hallelujah one comes through the ether
you open the app, perhaps anticipating a bot
nope, it’s the US military flexing their death-plane that costs more than your lifetime’s networth
it can only be the CIA’s new way of creating extremists
wtf lmao
big things about to happen i guess?
"US Public gives free money to Tinder. "
this only makes me want to murder lots of north americans. good job guys, your ads really reaping what theyre sowing.
This wasn’t on my bingo card.
are shia militants on tinder? Somehow I doubt it. CENTCOM whiffed on the target demographic with this one
I don’t see why not. Even religious people want to get laid.
And if I was on tinder and saw someone brag about smoking some Americans, you bet your ass I’m swiping right.
I would swipe left due to poor operational security practices. Dealbreaker.
Deeply unserious.
So is the plane DTF or what?
cowards
