Yeah Twitter is losing its mind. Here's a bright bit to keep things in perspective:

Here's what I know:

1) I follow a couple Iranian news sources (in English) and Soleimani comes up a lot.

2) His Wikipedia page does not indicate that he is irrelevant.

3) Iran doesn't really move symmetrically.

4) It's been pointed out that Atlanta Cyberattack of 2018 was Iranian, although not believed to be state-sanctioned.

5) Someone screengrabbed a couple C5s taking off. Full of Rangers? Maybe. Full of peanuts? Probably not.

I mean... they made a movie about the guy. "Beloved military commander assassinated by drone strike" is gonna be a hard one to let go.

I don't think anybody knows what happens next but I don't think it's hyperbole to say that something is going to happen.
