I wonder if he knows that "decimate" means to reduce by one tenth? So he's destroyed 10% of the Iranian forces... Not such a big deal. Mind you, the English language has never been his strength.

Since WW2 the US has proceeded to fight increasingly stupid wars that are of no benefit and are impossible to win.

But the war in Iran stands out as the stupidest, started for no reason right on top of the world's most important trade route with zero plan to win.

Moronic.

The problem with watching #totp from 1999 is that these sound really recent 😳

FIFA should pull the World Cup from the USA.
And nobody sane should consider heading to a match, whichever nation they're played in.

Time to remove Palantir from all UK government contracts and services, NHS, MOD, Law Enforcement…

The "special relationship" hasn't existed for decades.
Unless you consider a dom-sub relationship to be "special" 😳

But of course the fossil fuel lobbyists who fund Farage and Badenoch want you to be stuck with an urgent need for their killer product.
It's an addiction. We know how to break it.

And the orange shitgibbon withdraws support for Ukraine.

Going down.

That's a statement, not a question.

Watching the programme about the shooting in Dunblane, 30 years ago, on BBC2, and I am thinking about how that toad-faced Fartrage arsehole wants to remove the ban on handguns that was brought in as a result of that tragedy.
As yet another mass shooting happens in the US.

Decades, not one term
The US cannot be trusted and will need a root and branch review and replacement of the administration.
Mind you, they're not alone in that 😳

There are a lot of politicians, commentators and journalists who are in the pockets of the oil companies, for whom renewable energy would mean hugely reduced profits.

Trump is so erratic that I think the most likely outcome of the war is that we lose all our allies and trading partners. We’re not trustworthy as a nation

#PMQs is so painful
Badenoch is deeply ignorant and obnoxious, attempting to score cheap points but failing to land anything.

Both Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch did call for the UK to join the US war on Iran.
Both have u-turned significantly.
Now both are denying they called for the UK to join the US war on Iran.

Remember the bus? That was a lie, too, and Farage admitted it the day after the Brexit vote.
Farage is a clever liar; he says things that are false but always has a way of twisting it so that he never actually said the thing. For example, it was written on his leaflet but he didn't say it.

Trump and Netanyahu are creating the next generation of enemies.
They claim that their aim is to make the region safer, but are in fact making it less stable and more hostile for decades.

They look in the mirror and see greatness, whereas we look at them and see idiots.

Farage, like Trump, believes he's a victim - everything that goes wrong for them is someone else's fault.

I was a university IT mgr; nicking the mouse balls was common. Also removing the T pieces from the BNC cables and plugging the cable straight into "their" PC "to make it faster"... πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ A lot of IT support was replacing 50ohm terminators, mice and so on. Thank god for twisted pair cable and LED mice! 🀣

Just a normal question from a reporter, but we've become conditioned to see only client journalists who ask weak questions and blow smoke up Trump's arse 🀬

There was nothing to stop people from checking their meter on an hourly basis, except having to go outside/under the stairs/etc.
And if you had a coin meter, you probably did so, anyway...
