You can always make an argument for regime change, particularly when it's such an atrocious regime.

However there are non military ways to achieve this or contain it & ways which makes things infinitely worse, Trump chose the latter

Comical, but in many respects spot on

How to say corruption and your personal enrichment from it is the reason you support Trump without using any of those words.

Almost like he has a guilty conscience, but then again it's Trump so no, he has no conscience at all

I'm sure Trump will probably propose that Russia take their place

β€œ'The administration thoughtlessly terminated people with crisis experience, and now they’re left without depth in the bench in the middle of a wide scale and broadening crisis,' said a former official with more than a decade experience in evacuation operations..."

And U turns on Iran

Farage is the ultimate populist, it's *all* about creating or amplifying a crisis then (unrealistically) promising people they can have anything they want, in order for him to obtain power, but then fudging it afterwards. Something that Trump has achieved to perfection

Donald Trump says the war in Iran is an "excursion."

No, an excursion is something you do on a cruise ship.

Sending billions of dollars overseas and putting American lives in danger is war, and the Administration has failed to prosecute their case for why American lives should be on the line.

As in all these things, it's not the subject that's important, it's the performative affrontery that it allows, & the "victim" to shout about it in any media that will listen, thus pushing a political line often around "wokeism" which is code for far left politics

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Yep, just about sums it up.

The world lurches from one crisis to another, endless wars, economic mismanagement etc, all the while generating big profits for a few while funnelling money away from the many

It needs to be advertised & repeated as much as possible by Labour, because you can be sure as hell it won't be by any of the media

Rarely do my Lists demonstrate the huge benefits of this Labour Government more than this one. Such improvements, based on facts and evidence cannot be disputed.

I congratulate our Government.

Precisely, it's much easier than fixing the economy, particularly if you have power of the executive over the election process

The GOP is not trying to fix the economy. They're trying to fix the election.

An accountant I can possibly believe (although it's doubtful he didn't have suspicions).

What I want to see testimony from is the obvious army of servants, cleaners, cooks, maintenance etc working for Epstein, who were "on the ground" at all his properties daily & who must have seen everything

Starmer has little option than to "get involved" it's an international crisis.

What he should ensure is that we do things in lock step with Europe this time, unlike Blair did with Iraq

Exactly, it's time for bipartisan politics where people vote regardless of party lines just to get a proto dictator out of office. After all Trump is not a Republican, Republicanism is just a tool for him to use & discard. The GOP ceased to be Republican some time ago it's now Trumpian

AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

California gas prices rise above $5 a gallon amid US war with Iran West coast state’s average cost per gallon has climbed $0.55 since the conflict in Middle East began over a week ago

Gas prices in California have surged past $5/gallon since Trump pulled us into a war with Iran.

Trump promised lower costs and β€œno new wars.” Americans are getting the exact opposite.
