The White House is using clips from popular video game Call of Duty in official posts about the war with Iran, just days after the U.S. entered an armed conflict in the Middle East.
The footage is seen amid a compilation of images of U.S. warfare posted to the official White House X account. The clip begins with gameplay from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, a scene depicting a kill streak animation in which a user unlocks the ability to launch a nuclear arsenal. The video is accompanied by the text "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue."

To many, the post was an unsettling portrayal of a military strike that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Iranians, according to reports. A girl's elementary school in Minab was hit in an attack, killing dozens of children, and it's not clear if the school was an intended target by U.S. or Israeli forces.
In a reply to the White House's post, Chance Glasco, founding developer of the Call of Duty franchise, said: "This doesn't surprise me. I remember after Activision took over post-Respawn formation there was a very awkward pressure from Activision for us to make the next CoD about Iran attacking Israel. Luckily the vast majority of our devs were disgusted by the idea and it got shot down."
The internet has been rife with misinformation surrounding military operations and counterattacks in Iran, including posts intending to exaggerate or mislead users about the country's response to American and Israeli strikes.
Known political bots began posting decontextualized images and videos, including video game and flight simulator screenshots, just hours after news broke of the coordinated attacks. AI-manipulated images and videos had garnered millions of impressions on X, Instagram, and Facebook in a handful of days, according to researchers. With no sign that the posts would slow down as strikes continued, X announced it would be suspending users from its monetized Creator Revenue Sharing program if they posted AI-generated content depicting armed conflict without proper labeling.
Video game footage has become a tool for U.S. propaganda, and has been used repeatedly by agencies of the Trump administration.
Last year, the Department of Homeland Security used images from Xbox game Halo in social media posts, emblazoned with the phrase "Destroy The Flood" and a link to an ICE recruitment page. The department had previously posted videos of immigration raids with the Pokemon tagline "Gotta catch 'em all." The posts came amid escalating operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including Minnesota-based "Operation Metro Surge," which would result in the killings of Minneapolis residents Rene Good and Alex Pretti, and Los Angeles resident Keith Porter. All three were U.S. citizens.
This is very normal american nature. Didn't you know they are born with a superiority complex? They also don't watch pornography, americans masturbate while watching tomahawk missiles landing in middle east. They even have fun timing it with the missile landing.
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing new. All units montage their strikes to music. Usually they use AC/DC Thunderstruck.
ReplyDeleteThis is what a good mission debrief in intel looks like. You are welcome. The Lt who put this together deserves a decoration.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, every unit that does precision strike takes all their vids and puts together a collage to music. I usually see AC/DC Thunderstruck, but this is good too.
Jeffrey was a victim of Donald, just remember that.
ReplyDeleteDo you really believe on that?
DeleteWhere is the outrage over us killing over 100 Iranian schoolchildren? I hate these WH posts more than anyone, but why isn't the news of bombing a school full of children plastered all over Reddit, blogs, midias? news outlets, etc ? I feel like I'm going insane. This would've been front page news during Vietnam. Now it's a footnote. WTF is going on?
ReplyDeleteIronically, it's happened before but from the another terrorist regime.

ReplyDeleteThese people will never be punished nearly enough. They will never feel the cringe of self awareness touch them.
ReplyDeleteThis admin, tech bros, everything everyone does or says feels like a really bad VHS b movie from the 80s. It's a literal cartoon state.
ReplyDeleteFrom ICE detention centre to fighting for the US in Iran. Earn your citizenship now...
ReplyDeleteFunny given the recent links between Activision pushing pro-Israeli messaging on the dev team, Epstein, and the US.

ReplyDeleteT.D.S. is ever present!
While you rant and rave about the negative and prove your unworldliness to what real warfare is becoming, those that play C.O.D. look at the video and know exactly what the message is telling them.
Hey Main Stream Media... read this!
Simple AI search:
Call of Duty: Drone Warfare is a recurring theme across multiple titles in the Call of Duty franchise, reflecting both futuristic military speculation and real-world drone advancements.
- In-Game Drones: The series has featured various drones since Advanced Warfare (2014), including the Drone Swarm, Assault Drone, Recon Drone, Breacher Drone, and Bomb Drone. These serve as scorestreaks, killstreaks, or tactical equipment, often enabling players to attack enemies around corners, scout enemy positions, or deliver explosive payloads.
- Real-World Parallels: Real drone warfare in conflicts like Ukraine’s war with Russia has drawn comparisons to Call of Duty. Ukrainian units like Typhoon have reported that gamers make excellent drone pilots due to their quick decision-making and hand-eye coordination, despite real operations being far more complex and dangerous than video games suggest.
- Future Possibilities: While some in-game drones—like the Dragonfire Drone from Black Ops II—are currently not feasible due to recoil and firepower limitations, loitering munitions like the Switchblade drone are already used in real combat, validating the realism of certain Call of Duty concepts.
- Fan Speculation: There’s ongoing community discussion (e.g., on Reddit) about whether Treyarch might one day release a full Call of Duty: Drone Warfare title, especially given the franchise’s deep integration of drone technology across recent entries.
The Call of Duty series continues to blur the line between gaming innovation and real-world military evolution, with drones now central to both gameplay and narrative.

ReplyDelete14yo boy running Defense.
ReplyDeleteRookie move, you're supposed to use ARMA 3 footage for this.
ReplyDeleteLOL... Right! A lot of people mistake ARMA 3 videos as being real!
DeleteGood God, such an incompetent administration
ReplyDeleteBelieve NOTHING this administration says or shows. Assume everything is a lie and you'll be right more often than not.
ReplyDeleteThat's not what the Iranian Supreme Leader is assuming right now...
DeleteOh, wait! He can't assume anything right now... no lie there, is there!

DeleteNeither can our six dead soldiers. Are you going to make jokes about them too? Maybe shrug your shoulders and say "that's what happens (to OTHER people) in war?"
DeleteIt’s so difficult to watch tv shows now where the American presidency is involved and it’s still treated as something to be revered and respected. I just can’t buy into it anymore.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. All shows I now see about "protecting the presidency" make me roll my eyes. That exhaulted role now means nothing to me. Nada.
DeleteJesus wept. What a clown show.
ReplyDeleteBack in my day people had the decency to at least use ArmA for their fake footage.
ReplyDeleteI used to laugh and ridicule at North Korea and other countries with ridiculous videos and propaganda.
ReplyDeleteHow low we've sunk. Thanks Trump supporters/voters.
Could Activision or whoever at these game studios for COD sue the administration for this somehow?
ReplyDeleteEven if they could, who’s to say they would? The wealthy CEO multi-millionaires on the top probably like this administration.
They almost got it right, they should have used Medal of Honor or Black.

ReplyDeleteDidn’t Iran send video game footage with real footage years ago?
ReplyDeleteI just can't imagine anyone sane actually cheering for this.
ReplyDeleteNot having a plan, killing civilians, sinking an unarmed boat that was set to exercise with the navy, this shit, the bad photo OP, the Epstein files.
ReplyDeleteIs there anybody that cares over there?
I don't like people who can't tell the difference between video game violence and real world violence being in charge of the nukes
ReplyDeleteYep, they think it's all a game.
ReplyDeleteTell me your government is run by 13 year olds without telling me.
ReplyDeleteThese mf’ers literally think it’s all a game.
ReplyDeleteAnd I’m using the word in its original definition. They actually do, with no exaggeration, in fact consider real life and a video game to be exactly the same thing. Real human lives are given exactly the same consideration as imaginary “lives”.

I have a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that they're going to run a "soft draft" and essentially have these kids drop bombs from home. Especially the gamers. They already have the reflexes and tech-aptitude for it. I could be completely wrong but this timeline feels like it could be a real possibility. It's just Orwellian enough.
ReplyDeleteOr even worse "Drop a bomb to skip this ad"
"Drop a bomb to get an extra ration ticket"
...
It’s all a game for the current administration. Their war, our sons and daughters
ReplyDeleteNext they'll splice in some Team America World Police clips
ReplyDeleteFrom the same administration that treated illegal immigrants like Pokémon?
ReplyDeleteNo surprise, but a lot of shame
I still cannot fathom how a nation that I always considered semi-sane (American mentality has always been completely different from the rest of the world but at least we co-existed just fine) could elect someone like Trump and that so many of the people around him would suddenly get some brainrot.
ReplyDeleteAll these Hesgeths, Rubios, Leavitts - are they genuinely mentally ill? They're not normal. A normal person can't work for an imbecile like Trump and genuinely think he's the greatest thing to ever happen to America.
I just don't get it.
You don’t get a fascist country to its core from day one supports a fascist???? You sound super smart
DeleteIn first term, he was surrounded by competent people so it was semi reasonable. However, after what happened and he wasn't allowed to overturn the elections, he surrounded himself with loyalists and sycophants.
DeleteI actually do think Rubio is reasonable (for a republican), however publicly he is playing his part, I assume to keep a semblance if influence. However, behind closed doors it seems he is trying to neuter the insanity of this government.
‘Competent people’🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Who in the first term? Name names🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteRubio I reckon is playing along but you still have to be a scum to do that so he's fallen very low in my eyes. 5 years ago he was saying the right things but it looks like it's easy to just turn your coat when there's money and power involved.
Deletelol you’re inbred sweetie
Delete‘Playing along’🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteYeah, I agree, he's scum. He's never been high in my eyes, so hard to fall lower. I'm not surprised he's playing the role of sycophantic little helper.
DeleteLmao what a joke of a country

Untrained murderous ICE officers have also compared what they’re doing to playing COD.
ReplyDeleteThis is very bad. If it wasn’t clear, these are not professionals in control. We essentially have impulsive, uncontrolled teenagers wielding massively destructive weaponry with no regard for established rules of war that an actual professional military commander should and would know.
To put it in terms THEY might understand, they are reckless Athenian peasant soldiers - not professional Spartan soldiers.
All pieces of 'information' from the White House are for Trump cult/voters, not for everybody else. They live in a fantasy world and that's the type of fantasies that a cenobite has.
ReplyDeleteYou misspelled troglodyte
DeleteAnd that’s a sign that call of duty should be put on the top shelf until the gremlins that play it calm the hyuk down.
ReplyDeleteWhen will this end? If someone doesn't stop soon usa will be like berlin 1945
ReplyDeleteWe use to make fun of Russia and ISIS for doing this

ReplyDeleteLiterally just a game to them.
ReplyDeleteI won’t say that video games AlWAYS desensitize people to violence and foster a disregard of human life…but it definitely has to the people that made this video.
ReplyDeleteC’mon gaming Nerds. Even you have to admit this is kinda sick…
Trump used to agree with you. There is always a tweet
Delete"Video game violence & glorification must be stopped-it is creating monsters @realDonaldTrump 2012"
these people are so unserious, so void of humanity. war criminals.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is this is exactly what North Korea did some years back. I wonder if MS/Activision will file a copyright strike for this too.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.bbc.com/news/technology-21351051
you can’t cite bbc for anything regarding korea. basically everything they have published is a lie, including this article which has literally no evidence to suggest this was a real state owned piece of media.
Deletethey’ve also claimed things like everyone has to have the same haircut, AND that nobody is allowed to have that same haircut.
You're some weird ass bot or employed by NK propaganda department
DeleteIt's so funny (and also very frustrating) how liberals/conservatives always have to write off counternarratives as bots. I grew up with the same western propaganda against countries like China, DPRK etc. Time and time again they've been proven to be false, and at some point I just started reading non-capitalist sources and what do you know, turns out there are very good explanations as to why the west push these narratives, and there's ample evidence to debunk them.
Delete
DeleteI won't try to convince you to love DPRK. But I urge you to consider the idea that nobody is immune to propaganda, and the most effective kind of propaganda is the kind that presents itself as rational, objective, and anti-authoritarian.
At least people in China and DPRK know that the propaganda is propaganda. It's intentional state-mandated hype and easy to see though, and understand its purpose.
At some point you have to "choose" the propaganda that serves your values best. I support (while understanding the exaggeration) of pro working class, ant-imperialist propaganda. I do not support anti-communist propaganda. Not just because it's a lie or exaggerated, but because of the interests it serves.
They’re going all in to win over young, male voters.
ReplyDeleteRecall the old COD tagline: "There's a soldier in all of us."

DeleteDon't worry, they'll send their wages to the prison.
DeleteThe military industrial complex also has a massive profit motive. Can't use up equipment and vehicles unless you have troops to use it all.
DeleteEarn citizenship by going to war maybe.
DeleteDo you want to know more?
DeleteSome people watched starship troopers and walked away thinking they just absorbed a training manual.
DeleteThis is why you can't really satirize fascism. These idiots will see you viciously making fun of them, but they're too dumb to realize it and they walk away from that thinking "man, we're so cool".
I say all this to basically ask you to not give them any ideas.
We saw this play out with fight club
DeletePlenty got whooshed by the satire.
Delete“Wait starship troopers was not a documentary”, probably a supporter of this
DeleteI remember reading about Hell Divers 2 folks as well as Warhammer folks who didn't see the satire.
DeleteSame idiots who think Homelander is a hero.
DeleteThat's already a thing called expedited naturalization. I knew someone that was also made a citizen because he was a local that served as a translator for US troops in the late '90s. I want to say he was in Kosovo, but I'm pretty sure his name is Persian in origin so I could be remembering wrong.
DeleteThere was the why I'm in the army tic tok trend too. Half of responses were citizenship
DeleteOperation Epic Shit Show needs more AI.
ReplyDeleteThe childishness of that Op name too... christ my spirit would be so pissed off if I died in this joke of a war.
DeleteISIS level propaganda
ReplyDeleteThey wish they could brainwash like we do
DeleteHoly fuck this administration is such a joke. They want to make it seem cool so guys will voluntarily go and die in the middle east.
ReplyDeletePlease everyone write your senators. I wrote mine (republican) today. It feels useless but we need to hold their feet to the fire.
"Please everyone write your senators"
DeleteThis. Make your reps earn their paycheck
Blows my mind that people join the military to do "cool shit". When most I've seen are just trying to put food on the table and have a job.
DeleteYeah, they want the ones this will work on.
DeleteThey don't want the ones that see this admin for what it is.
My senator is that dick that broke the protesting veteran's arm yesterday 😞
DeleteWriting to your senators and asking for a response with senators position means the office must respond
Deletethey have software for tracking and responding to calls owned by Lockheed Martin that looked like windows xp in 2010s. It's the point of the 'legislative correspondent' staff position
So even if you hate them, and disagree vehemently, it slows down office operations by requiring their labor power which they only get a set amount.
We need to pressure elected officials to do things, asking nicely only works in extremely rare and niche cases. Waiting for a Dem is a waste of time too, because then when they're Dem (unless it's high profile more split issue within the left), 'oh they're already fighting for us'
Because of this, people should only contact their own rep, but too many aren't going to listen. If they go to voicemail only because of so many calls from randoms, it means we can put less pressure overall
tbh, the only people this would work on (republicans that love trump) are the only ones i’m fine shepherding off to the front lines, might sort itself out
DeleteI would say people like you should get drafted to the front lines but you’re all evidently unfit for duty given the various physical and mental issues you all seem to present.
DeleteUnfortunately, it won't be those people that actually go off to fight and die. It'll be their kids, brainwashed at home and (if the administration continues to get its way) in school to believe the same things their parents do. If you don't want to write your congressmen to end the war, write to them to improve public education, for future generations' sake, if nothing else.
Deleteunfortunately you’re right, ugh everything fuckin sucks man
DeleteSeriously. At this point, anyone signing up for U.S. military service since these dipshits took charge deserves everything coming their way.
DeleteYou can't choose to ignore traffic, and rest of us be expected to stop you when you walk right into it.
Don't blame boots for brigade level orders.
DeleteYoud be shocked at the amount of people who join the military to escape a local economy that collapsed, an abusive home situation, or simply because our education system completely failed them and left them with zero opportunities outside of entry level retail.
In fact, the military opposes free college education because it is their most effective recruitment tool.
Blame the fucking officers. Don't blame the enlisted.
People joining the military because they want a roof over their heads, and a full belly is a tale as old as humans organizing themselves into civilizations.
Deletewe need to hold their feet to the fire.
DeleteLet me know when you start to do that.
Do you have better ideas on how to do that? Genuinely asking.
DeleteIsn't this the reason that the USA has more guns then people?
DeleteIt keeps being used for justification for why you can't have any decent gun control laws, because you might need to overthrow the government and you will need firearms to do so.
Your government needs to be torn down and rebuilt, top to bottom.
I think that argument made more sense when the height of weapons technology was a shitty smoothbore cannon that was debatably accurate past 200m and not precision guided munitions that get chucked from beyond visual range by a supersonic aircraft.
DeleteJim-Bob and Cleetus’ AR collection won’t do shit against a Bradley packing a 40mm Bushmaster
"not precision guided munitions that get chucked from beyond visual range by a supersonic aircraft."
DeleteOr from beyond visual range because the drone is small and high in the sky.
"I think that argument made more sense when"
Maybe, but that is the argument still being made.
So to recap... You as a foreign citizen, believe we should execute everyone in our government, and believe that killing them all will fix everything. You're not offering diplomatic or legal solutions, just straight to gunning them down, without care of the consequences those violent actions will inevitably bring.
Delete
DeleteI've watched your two-party system "play-out" for decades all I've really seen is more and more corruption being added.
One party gets in power that tries to undo everything the previous party in power did while trying make things better only for themselves.
Your police and health care systems of first-world countries at at the bottom, encouraged by those same corrupt politicians.
The few that seem actually decent/good are forced out by the less-good.
The last USA president who actually worked on making the world a better place, IMO, was Clinton.
Your current president made a campaign promise to 'be a dictator for one day' and when have dictators ever willingly given up power?
So yes, burn it all down and start over. Executions hopefully not needed but I am doubtful people in power would step down and re-apply for their job.
"One party gets in power that tries to undo everything the previous party in power did while trying make things better only for themselves."
DeleteAh, so you don't bother with knowing things like who passes healthcare bills, infrastructure bills, things like the CHIPS act. Yeah, I guess it's hard to see the good one party does over the other when your head is too buried up your own ass huffing the fumes. Just kill.
"Execute wouldn't be necessary if they willingly step down."
But you do want it to get to the point where we have the gun to their head, most of them with no crime to even charge with.
🤡
Stay in your own country's lane.
"But you do want it to get to the point where we have the gun to their head, most of them with no crime to even charge with."
DeleteWant? No, but I don't see it happening any other way.
"Ah, so you don't bother with knowing things like who passes healthcare bills, infrastructure bills, things like the CHIPS act. Yeah, I guess it's hard to see the good one party does over the other when your head is too buried up your own ass huffing the fumes. Just kill."
Ok, you can defend your 'system' that the rest of the first-world countries see as completely nuts..
How many more times are people going to be killed by law enforcement doing peaceful things before you realize your country is broken? You have a school shooting almost weekly? You are good with this?
"Stay in your own country's lane."
While I do have need to make the trip to the US, that is a hell no until a lot changes there.
"How many more times are people going to be killed by law enforcement doing peaceful things before you realize your country is broken?"
Delete"Kill the police to make them stop killing."
"You have a school shooting almost weekly?"
"Kill children to stop the school shootings."
You're as bad as the people you complain about lol.
"Kill the police to make them stop killing."
DeleteNot what I said.
"Kill children to stop the school shootings."
Also not what I said.
"You're as bad as the people you complain about lol."
How so?
"Not what I said." But it's what you mean. It's the inevitable conclusion of your words. You choose violence against the government before any and all other options, and then bring up police and school shootings. You either think that killing the government will make these stop, or you understand that that violence has been around longer than Trump has been in office and are suggesting we stop the problem more directly. Either way, the only suggestion you've offered is death.
Delete"But they can step down!"
But you know they won't just step down, so you know you are advocating for violence before any other method.
"How so?"
Because you're a stupid uneducated brute who uses violence or the threat of death as the first and only means of getting what you want. 😊
"Either way, the only suggestion you've offered is death."
DeleteNo, what I suggested is replacing the government.
"But you know they won't just step down"
So you know what would be needed to make it happen.
"You choose violence against the government before any and all other options"
I'd be happy with other methods but I also know those won't happen/work, as you agree with. I welcome to be proven wrong but you admit that they wouldn't just step down.
"You either think that killing the government will make these stop"
Replacing the government, top to bottom, yes.
"Because you're a stupid uneducated brute who uses violence or the threat of death as the first and only means of getting what you want."
Personal attacks such as name calling, does not make you sound educated. That sounds like projection. Trying to claim I said things that I didn't is another.
No, last resort but we both know that is what it would take to accomplish the goal. Unfortunately, violence would be necessary.
Now they blocked me.
"No, what I suggested is replacing the government."

Voicing your opinion is almost all you can do. And if just the three of us all call our reps, it has an impact. Remember, one grain of rice may tip the scale
DeleteDid you call your rep?

Actually yes, yesterday I called about a local bill. But no, it was received by a staffer who took my message
DeletePart of doing it is getting yourself there mentally. I’m glad this is becoming more a standard part of the discussion. We normalize the need, then it’s easier for people to take the next step.
DeleteThis is embarrassing. Someone in there has to have a fucking brain.
ReplyDeleteoh they have brains alright, they're just greedy fucks who only care about their own wants, literally about nobody else.
DeleteThey do have a brain, the thing is they know their target audience is so fucking stupid they won't notice or care about obvious AI or even video game footage lmao
Deletehonestly if you think there's a brain left to be had to consider the level of idiocy before they post this horseshit, you're giving this administration a LOT more credit than they're due.
DeleteIt’s like what the idea of governing would be to a teenage boy.
DeleteThey purposefully purged anyone with a brain for this reason
DeleteIf you do brainless stuff, then the brainless will vote for you. And boy, there’s no shortage of them in the US.
DeleteUntil there is evidence to the contrary, you have to assume that no one does, actually.
Delete"Someone in there has to have a fucking brain."
DeletePeople with brain power have been removed.
Smart people really don't like me.
DeleteThat's true
DeleteBrain do not win elections, memes and trolling does it.
DeleteWorked for John Fetterman
DeleteWhat is most galling about the administration is that they can’t seem to take anything seriously, even going to war and putting American citizens at harm. It’s all a fun and game meme to them. It’s all about making themselves look good in the short term and ignoring the medium to long term consequences of their actions.
ReplyDeleteRunning the country is serious business and should be treated as such.
But they’re not even making themselves look good.
DeleteThey don’t even care if they look good. They are just embezzling
DeleteElect a clown, get a circus. No one with a brain is surprised in the slightest.
Delete2024 happened. The answer you're looking for is 2024. 2024 was the time to show that looking good for a short term was a bad idea
DeleteThen they won, Americans asked for cynicism. They'll get cynicism and short-term memes
But memes bro
DeleteOther people aren't real to them.
DeleteSo much for the party of “support our troops.” that, of course does not mean that military people will stop voting Republican, of course.
DeleteBilly McLaughlin previously served as director of digital content. A meme creator now 30 years old. Accounts are now managed by Kaelan Dorr. A 33 year old self described tech, entertainment and gaming expert. lol
DeleteTheir supporters aren’t intellectually serious people so this will not happen.
DeleteThey're children with the feeling that consequences will never come for them. It's that kind of cruel, childlike glee.
DeleteNo wonder their targets tend to be children.
Trump is on record spouting the opinion that soldiers that die in war are losers. I'm not surprised at this story at this point
Delete"It’s all about making themselves look good in the short term and ignoring the medium to long term consequences of their actions."
DeleteBecause they know they aren't going to be around long term or even medium term to CARE about consequences.
