2020 was a year of change and peace for many, but only 4 days into the new year, the hashtags regarding war have been a top trend on Twitter globally after an Iraqi military leader Qasem Soleimani was killed in an air strike by the US.
And the internet is losing it!
Can’t believe that just 72 hours into 2020 & the world is already teetering on the edge of war. I guess this is wht happens when the "leader of the free world"takes unilateral decisions without regard for international laws. This isn’t just abt Iran &USA.God protect us #Soleimani

Some had theories:
There is NO #WWIII happening no country is rich enough or short-sighted to be plunged into a worldwide war over a person's assassination on account of Trump's act#Suleimani

Shoot your shots, guys:
Jokes about #WWIII aren’t funny. But does anyone want to confess their love for me before the war begins?
C'mon guys it's the right time.— Saima Khan (@isktweets) January 3, 2020
With many memes all over social media, people were mad at others taking war as a joke:

There are always consequences:
For those who consider war a videogame in some virtual reality, who have not seen the body parts, walked over the bloodstained shards of broken glass, smelt death and overloaded on destruction, lost friends, family and colleagues – to you, #WWIII trending worldwide must elate you

People were disappointed:
War memes is all I’ve seen since the morning, do they even know what war means.#WWIII #worldwar3 #Soleimani
