2020 has literally begun with a bang.

Right after news broke worldwide that the USA has eliminated Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian covert foreign operations group the Quds Force, in an airstrike on Baghdad International Airport, Twitter was flooded with tweets, memes and trolls.

Hashtags such as #WWIII, #WW3, #worldwar3, was seen trending  Twitter immediately. Most of the tweets are jokes stating how people will try to dodge the draft (avoiding conscription).

Here are a few glimpses:
