Seeing as we don't have a war, but a "special military operation" and trump has a "major combat operation", let's review the various times we didn't have a war either.
A black and white photograph from above showing the extensive grounds surrounding the gigantic palace on Embassy Row, Washington DC that the British Ambassador gets to live in whilst paid £10,000 per week for the privilege.
Abhorrent ghoul, Peter Mandelson was paid £10,000 every week as US Ambassador. That's on top of living here (not the British Embassy, you understand, it's the Ambassador's Residence).
He demanded £500,000 severance pay & didn't deserve the £75,000 he got, especially an extra £34,670 paid as a gift.
Number 1 “hot new release”.
Out tomorrow. Don’t miss it!
It's a war I cannot explain.
A war that I deny is a war at all.
A war that justifies the peace prize FIFA made up for me.
A war that I have already won, but which will keep going indefinitely.
And my strategy?
Message the enemy on social media and ask them to stop being mean.
An anonymous art collective just placed a sculpture in a Washington park showing Trump and Epstein in the iconic Titanic bow scene.
Epstein in front, arms open. Trump behind.
Title: "King of the World."
The group, Secret Handshake, says the piece highlights past ties between the two.
Being ill is stupid. Why do viruses only ever make you feel rubbish? Why can't there be an illness which triggers MDMA-like responses in your brain for a few days?

There's only 2 countries in the world with illegal unchecked Nuclear Weapons.
North Korea and Israel.
One of these countries has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is committing a genocide.
It isn't North Korea.
The box for a Nokia 106 on a wall. It has been ripped open, as if something has hatched from the inside
Aww, I love this time of year when all the dealers start hatching
This is hilarious.
Also, completely enraging.
Here are my top 10 dog mayors!
She must be right though because she keeps telling anyone who will listen that she's never wrong, and that's why she never needs to apologise for being wrong, even when watching the actual footage of her being catastrophically wrong.
And that's all there is to say about that.

I know it won't make any difference to his voters, who pay no attention to what's actually going on, and think foresight is for pussies and consequences can be wished away.
But if Farage was PM, we'd now be in a moronic, illegal war he demanded we join 2 days ago, and now thinks is a disaster.
The biggest terrorist in the world did this.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Beyond energy, closure of Hormuz Straits could have ripple effects on agricultural staples
• Around one-third of global fertiliser supplies pass through Hormuz
• Prolonged conflict could prompt producers to cut back on fertiliser use, reducing yields

Ten days into Trump's Iran campaign, the war has gone global.
At least 20 countries are now militarily involved — shooting, shielding or quietly supplying — while a widening energy shock punishes nations far from the front lines.
Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.
Light relief: My daughter challenged me to how fast I could press start on stop on a stop watch. I can't consistently get quicker than 0.09s, though on my phone the touch screen mean I can do 0.06s. What's your quickest?

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.
I can so relate to this.
And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.

🚨 A senior WH official has confirmed that US aims to seize control of Iran’s oil reserves – third largest in the world – at the precise moment America's own shale production is entering irreversible terminal decline.

Bought a secondhand Hairy Bikers book a while ago, just picked it up for the first time to look for a stew recipe and found this inside.
The moment Russia invaded Ukraine they were immediately banned from taking part in all international events.
The fact that Israel is still allowed to and the fact that the United States has never ever been banned, says much about the way things are.
