Screeching 180 from Reform leader Farage who’s gone from Trumpian “Bomb the Islamists” to “We cannot get involved directly in another foreign war, we don’t have a Navy, we can’t even defend our own military base in Cyprus” overnight.
He’s seen the polling showing the public don’t support the war.
🤮
I wrote this piece just five days ago - predicting Trump would walk away and leave everyone else to clear up his mess ….and here we are - concluding extract below:
😡😡😡
Please tell me this is not real? Please tell me it’s an AI fake? It’s too horrendous to comprehend. While he jokes, the region is in chaos, economies upended, lives lost, and enhanced threat of terrorism worldwide, esp against Americans.
So predictable. While Trump and Hegseth posture, millions around world have their lives turned upside down by their cavalier, ill-thought-through attack on Iran, whose regime clings on, and people suffer. Everyone suffers from the devastating consequences, except the immoral morons who launched it.

💯 this. Bad idea to launch a war when you’re presiding over a divided country, a dysfunctional government staffed by amateurs, and a hollowed out, bureaucracy at home, and have managed to piss off almost every ally abroad. No amount of US military skill can offset this political incompetence.
I take it very seriously!!!
Biden?
I know! In both men and women’s sports, too!
Well thank you, kindly. I’m humbled…
💪💪💪
It’s tough being this freaking awesome 🤭
I’ve always believed in playing multiple sports. After my medal appearance at the Winter Olympics, I’m now knocking it out of the ballpark at the World Baseball Championships!
The environmental impact of this war (and the war in Ukraine) is devastating. What's the point of separating waste at home and encouraging the use of green energy when the world is being burnt down with toxic substances blown into the atmosphere and the ground poisoned on an unprecedented scale?
Hegseth & My Lai Lt Calley have something in common - no rules of engagement.
The Trump administration is doing more harm to America in months than the Iranian regime has managed to achieve in decades. Destroying the country’s standing at home and abroad.
And they have the nerve to say that European civilization is at risk!
A bunch of puerile frat boys, getting off on killing people. I do not have the vocabulary to express my disgust for this.
I know. It’s utterly bonkers. Cant. hypocrisy, pious nonsense.
Manic laughter seems appropriate. This is an asylum, after all!
They have mad Mullahs. We have mad Christian evangelicals.
Celebrating Noems firing.
And still, so-called patriots queue up to condemn their own Prime Minister for refusing to join in with all this…
If he’d overruled his Cabinet, he’d have been called a dictator, ignoring collective responsibility. If, as reported, he went along with his cabinet, they’re now blaming him for being weak. Seriously, he can’t win.
They have spent years screaming at Tony Blair for joining the US in Iraq and are now contorting themselves into knots to scream at Keir Starmer for not joining the US in Iran
🤣🤣🤣
One theologically obsessed regime fighting another…..🤦♀️ www.military.com/daily-news/2...
It’s just like the regime in Iran! You remove one awful official, and another one pops up!!!! Trump’s administration is a multi headed hydra 😱
