Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available
This does suggest we'd have some problems if Nigel Farage had been prime minister, of course. He'd have put us into a war that on reflection he now thinks is a bad idea. When you're in opposition you can change your mind on this stuff. That's much harder in government.
Isn’t the point of a submarine that you don’t know it’s there?!
“We don’t have a Navy” will be news to those living in Portsmouth and Plymouth. A Type 45 destroyer is not a bloody Uber, Nigel.
Tough being a sports physiologist talking about doping to people who were in primary school when Armstrong got popped.
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Will find out the hard way that in war the enemy gets a say in this.
UG students in Lboro didn’t know who Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis were. The 1988 drugs bust was news to them. Established that Lance Armstrong was the earliest doper they’d heard of. Even Russia/Icarus is old news to them.
War! What is it good for?/Replacing Khamenei with his son/who is now really angry about his dad/and show the Iranians you get bored after 9 days.
And Iran knows it can hold the world hostage with a handful of drones.
Saying a war is complete without the other side agreeing is not an ending. But all the markets are reacting as if it’s true. The world is run by the stupid, bet on by the stupid, with the result being stupid.
Movies that cost less to make than disgraced former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's $220M ad campaign:
Iron Man
The Matrix
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Top Gun: Maverick
Barbie
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)
The Hunger Games
Oppenheimer
It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.
I’m not panic charging my car, that’s for damn sure.
Goddamit.
Iran now knows how to win the war: fire a £1000 drone at an oil tanker once a week and nobody can get insured to cross the Strait of Hormuz ever again. Oil prices stay high, Trump backs off.
I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.
Laughs in EV owner and then realise everything else I buy will be more expensive.
Nothing is cat-proof. Nothing.
Yes, could not remember the primacy of the phrase, but that looks right.
A phrase that was used in the Netflix Turning Point series about the Cold War, which features Tom in places.
The mention of gaming made me realise what the US strategy is on Iran: Leeeerrrrooooyyyy Jenkins.
Haven’t we even on the brink of WW3 since the 1950s? Save for a premature end of history in the late 90s.
A lot of those kinds of people in democrat states did not know there was an election on in 2024. And a lot of them didn’t much care because no administration seemed to change their things for the better.
Parenthood.
If you really, really want to create a global refugee crisis…
So do I: my car is at Kwik Fit, and it might not be quick enough. 😬
It actually sounds like he’s considering a nuclear strike.
If this turns out as described, this is massive news.
