A quote from Julius Nyerere, Tanzania’s first President: “The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”

How does one lead a breach?

Asking for the entire English-speaking world.

Read some history.

Your most effective soft power was Happy Days, The West Wing and Friends.

You convinced the world that you were on the side of the angels, even if you got it wrong sometimes.

The mask is well and truly off.

It's a fine distinction, but you're absolutely correct.

Wait, what? The more I listen to him or read transcripts of what he says, the more I’m convinced I’m having a brain bleed.

When Blair was attacking Iraq, he was doing so as the UK PM. I never voted for him, but I have to accept that he was doing it in my name, however much I hated it and him.

That's how representative government works.

BAD - U2

I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.

Which illustrates why Obama, just like Blair here in the UK, didn't cement in any underlying societal changes.

They were a bit of a sugar-rush, and nothing more.

Imagine waging war on Afghanistan to replace the Taliban with the Taliban and waging war on Iran to replace Khamenei with Khamenei🤦‍♀️

The question should be "Dad, how do soldiers killing civilians solve the world's problems?"

Dignified Transfer is a nauseating spectacle when you consider that those who died were willing members of a machine which is currently butchering thousands of innocent civilians.

BREAKING: The US has confirmed those 168 school girls and staff were liberated by a Tomahawk missile and their rescuers were liberated by a 2nd Tomahawk in a "double-tap". That's two liberations for the price of one. If you don't support this, I can only assume you hate freedom.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

This is the post of a deranged madman. It is the pure sadistic glee of an insane person who relishes having the unencumbered power to murder innocent people. This pedophile psychopath has ZERO business being president of the United States. 😳👇

Has there ever been a war the right-wing doesn't want to join?

Israel is targeting hospitals in both Tehran and Beirut.

I'm old enough to remember when the media used to describe this as a war crime.

Brilliant!

I agree with you, although I have some sympathy for those who see joining the military as the only way out of their crappy lives.

Philip Proudfoot

Starmer has announced Britain will allow the US to use its bases in its illegal war of aggression against Iran.

We have entered World War 3, all to protect a genocidal settler-colony and a gang of American paedophiles.

For Christ's sake, stop fetishising the military.

It's a job.

Occasionally people die, but that goes with the territory.

They're not saints or martyrs.

To everyone coming unglued at the deaths in combat of four military personnel:

This is an absolutely necessary part of war, because if a state manages to wage war with zero casualties on their side, they'll never, ever stop.

We will, however, facilitate the US to commit 'unlawful actions'.

He's so feeble.

'imperfect' is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting here.

"...who have nothing to do with any of it..."

I suppose those girls slaughtered in the Iranian school were deeply involved, then.

It's not tragic that military people die in war. It's how it should be. The second the US can guarantee it won't lose soldiers in their elective wars, they'll attack country which stands up to them.
