The White House seems to think Trump's war with Iran is a video game.

The White House shared a video online promoting its ongoing operations. In addition to using real footage from recent attacks, the video includes a killstreak animation from 2023's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Trump White House Uses Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Killstreak To Celebrate Killing People In Iran

___On March 4, the official White House Twitter account posted a roughly one-minute-long video featuring numerous clips of real military strikes against different Iranian locations and targets. At the very start of the video is a clip from 2023’s Modern Warfare III that shows a player activating an MGB killstreak. This is a hidden killstreak for players who get 30 kills without dying. Once called, the bomb ends the match. The official video was posted with the caption: “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue.”

The White House video featuring a CoD killstreak animation in this context is particularly heinous, as the ongoing strikes against Iran have killed hundreds of civilians, including many children who died on the first day of the strikes after a missile hit Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Iran on February 28. Neither the United States nor Israel has taken responsibility for the attack.

This isn’t the first time Trump and his administration have used video games in official government content. In September 2025, the Department of Homeland Security posted a video showing various armed ICE and Border Patrol thugs arresting and detaining people with music from Pokémon in the background. The very next month, DHS posted an image from Halo featuring the Master Chief driving a Warthog with the captions: “Finishing the fight” and “Destroy the Flood,” likening immigrants to the parasitic aliens of the sci-fi franchise.

1. Ego game and joke to Trump and his people.

While Trump steals Iran's oil and land, he entertains everyone with crap jokes and videos.

[Hey Joe]

4. I guess it's real easy to get your wargasm on

when you’re sitting comfortably in your White House office watching other people die for your stupidity and greed.
Wish we could teleport these assholes to the front lines so they could enjoy the REAL war they created.

5. Hello fellow kids!

Video games, am I right? Ever hear of Pac-Man?

[Totally Tunsie]

6. But, But, But...It's NOT a WAR, People!

It's a "MILITARY OPERATION"!

That's what they are telling us, anyway. *sigh*

[PSPS]

7. As putin refers to his invasion as a "special military operation"

Anyone who utters the word "war" falls out a window.

8. It is for them. They have no skin in it.

Economically, prices don't matter to them, as they can just grift/steal any shortfall on their part. Nobody they care about will ever be in harms way.
