US weighs sending forces into Iran to secure nuclear stockpile, reports say
“Pete Hegseth is a very dangerous person. He’s a white Christian nationalist and has the arsenal of the United States government at his disposal and a permission slip from President Trump to deploy carnage wherever he wishes against whomever he wishes.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
@robevansgdn.bsky.social has been brilliant in his pursuit of the undercover cops scandal over the years. Here's yet another shocking betrayal of everything decent by the police

NEW: A classified report by the National Intelligence Council, representing the collective wisdom of America's 18 intelligence agencies, found that even a large-scale assault on Iran would be unlikely to oust its entrenched military and clerical establishment 🧵
Yes R2P’s always been a can of worms, but this is an unconvincing attempt to make a case for his war that Trump hasn’t made—far from it: he/hegseth/rubio reject ideas of legitimacy & celebrate the illegitimacy of savage caprice in the conception & conduct of his war

This piece by @shaunwalker7.bsky.social is absolutely worth your time. A deeply researched definitive account of the road to Putin’s full scale invasion of Ukraine - how much CIA and MI6 knew and why it was so hard to convince others that it was coming.

“Sixty years before a deluded nobleman from La Mancha was overdosing on tales of derring-do, visiting his madness on those around him – and single-handedly rewriting the rules of fiction – the deeds of another heroic knight had already made literary history”

A screenshot of a tweet by Ken Dilanian quoting concerns that an order to kill boat occupants who are no longer able to fight would constitute a war crime. Below is a collage of nine infrared or night-vision aerial images showing small boats in the water. At the bottom is a caption referencing “Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike.”

NHS spending as a % of GDP: 10.9%
Defence spending as a % of GDP: 2.2%
This is such a common applause line, but it’s also total bullshit.

Spent five minutes staring at this trying to work out what it had reminded me of.
Realised it was this horrifying passage from George Orwell’s 1984.
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
