No, lol.

This has no connection whatsoever to events in Europe last century.

No, Iran isn't going to shut down the Persian Gulf or anything like that, but they are going to make life hell for our forces and allies in the Middle East. They'll likely launch cyber-attacks, Russian-style misinformation campaigns, and probably orchestrate the odd terror attack as well, probably with the tacit approval and assistance of Russia and possibly even China.

Wasn't this a retaliatory strike?

How would Trump be the one one to start it in that case?

Even if we went to war with Iran, it would not be the start of WW3. No one else gives a shit outside of posturing.

But its a ridiculously stupid game of chicken to play while skirting around the conventions of governance used to mitigate this sort of thing. Republicans would be fucking fuming if Obama did it. Blowing up random officially unaffiliated terrorists is one thing, killing a political figure is another. This is Bush dropping a nuke on Sadam after 9/11 without lying about it for months first.

Isn't this like a 5th time Trump has threatened WWIII? They're going to trade insults, talk tough, and then hopefully nothing will happen.

Retaliation because that's Trump's word of the day. But really it was a targeted attempt to kill Soleimani, and political figure in Iran, who republican defenders have argued was "planning violence against the US" so we (pre-emptively?) retaliated, I guess.
