And would you believe it?? The war is still not won and Trump is forecasting another week of bombing. Where and when will this end. . Trump admits to not knowing.

And that is assuming those figures are correct. Trump is taking them over and giving them a massage - that is a bit different to normal times!!!

If the Tories have principles then they should stick to them. But they haven’t and they won’t.

Israeli citizens crying about being attacked by Hezbollah and the Iranians is peak hypocrisy. All because Netanyahu wants to delay his criminal corruption trial.

β€œSo damaged is the department’s reputation for truth-telling at this point, one judge noted despairingly, that β€˜the court is left with little confidence’ that government lawyers β€˜can be trusted to tell the truth about anything.’ ”

But it is a wider problem. The US Government is hijacking data and controlling and amending the flow of information on jobs receipts expenditure et al. When the Markets feel the information is not relevant the borrowing costs will climb and become unsustainable. Then there is a BIG problem.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

If they didn’t always focus on hate for one or another section of the population what would they do?? They have no other purpose in life!!!
A very shallow existence that even a true faith doesn’t seem able to influence.

And training NATO members in warfare as the most recently experienced army. Currently they are the best equipped and most experienced army in NATO leading the fight against aggression - but not yet in NATO.

The Iran war is shining a spotlight on Ukraine’s rapid rise to drone superpower status. In 2022, Putin vowed to demilitarize Ukraine. Instead, his invasion has transformed Ukraine into a major military power with unrivaled experience in drone warfare.

I’m not sure β€˜thank you’ is in the vocabulary of either or any of Trump’s gang of wayward people.

Possibly since he doesn’t think that the Service losses are relevant. He seems to take the view that losses are inevitable and so it’s no big deal. Hegseth has no comprehension of what war is like. It’s horrible and dirty but he treats it like a sanitised computer game.

Farage & Badenoch both called for the UK to go to war on Iran.

Then complained about the price of fuel πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

It’s called joined up thinking. NOT. It sets the right wing populists apart from those parties who still have their feet on the ground and their brains in gear.

Was he mistakenly talking about ICE - his private army.

Is Trump lying, demented or does he have proof that he didn’t go to Epstein’s island? Or alternatively is there proof that he did since that information would undermine his claim and his overall credibility - or lack of it!!

Hegseth says Iranians are cowering underground like rats. Is it correct that Hegseth and others are cowering in Army barracks to avoid the public? Seems cowardice is a prerequisite of leadership??

First the blocking of the Straits was predictable and secondly it is obvious that the Iran actions are dissuasive to shipping. Throwing money at Emergency Insurance won’t persuade sailors to risk their lives so what will Hegseth do? Will he take the ships through personally?? Would be interesting.

"Eddie Howe and assistant Jason Tindall have spent more time with each other than with their own wives.

So it was rather fitting that the Newcastle United head coach likened the pair to a "married couple".

"I won't tell you who does what, but that's probably the best way of describing us.""

Trump is a menace to humanity. His acts and ideas are extreme and verging on the insane and within no time he changes his mind. He has no attention span and is likely to give up on the Iran War and start another just to maintain his interest. And the world suffers.

Trump is an unpleasant spoiled child that should be taken aside and put on the naughty step AKA prison. He is totally unworthy as a HUMAN BEING let alone as POTUS

Trump is obviously very mentally unwell to describe his actions of killing innocent people and children as β€˜an honour’. This is not the language of a responsible leader but of a spoiled child. It is time for all including Republicans to tell Trump that they will not support his actions any further

If Miller is that imaginative then the US is going to be involved in a lot more β€˜excursions’ for no good reason at all. Miller is the main architect of America’s misfortunes and is a danger to the world.
