F1 cancels Bahrain and Saudi Arabia GPs because of Middle East war The Bahrain circuit is only 20 miles from a US base that has been the target of Iranian attacks, and the races are unlikely to be replaced because of logistics

Definite, surely, that #Trump and US Administration did not consider consequences when they started a war on Iran

Now F1 grands prix cancelled

Unsurprisingly to thinking folk

I long for the days when science was led by very smart yet boring scientists and not by used car salesmen.

Have the fine people from the Onion infiltrated the FDA?

I want to say “Spot on” to your comment but it is out of keeping with their likely lack of precision bombing

Trump Admin starts war.

Trump Admin shocked by consequences of war.

Trump Admin urgently (!) tells Americans caught by those consequences to get out! get out! and no there's no help coming from the Trump Admin, and good luck finding a land route out somewhere.

What could possibly go wrong

Trump Administration Approves Ultra-Deepwater Oil Drilling Plan

"It would be BP's first new deepwater project in the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon explosion in 2010, which set off the worst oil spill disaster in U.S. history..."

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Europe condemns Trump’s move to drop Putin oil sanctions Zelensky says Trump’s move could net Moscow as much as $10bn to support Putin’s war on Ukraine

I am so glad to see the UK government is not supporting the US in handing Putin more money to fund the war against Ukraine.

Cannot for the life of me see how they would be able to do precision bombing when they hit a school? And if it wasn’t precision - they must have damaged the oil pipeline infrastructure

Hung out to dry, thrown under a bus

No deployment, period. This should be the turning point.

The UK should not support a war criminal unless they want the same label.

Last week Trump said he didn't need Britain's help because he'd already won this war. So we mustn't let him push the UK around now.

Any decision on the deployment of our Armed Forces should be made in the UK's national interest and subject to a vote in Parliament.

Ed Davey responds to Donald Trump urging countries to send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open

And he was so polite too

In 1926, as a member of the Irish Senate, W.B. Yeats enthusiastically took charge of the committee designing new coinage for the Irish Free State. Yeats decided the different denominations should be symbolised by different animals (was he consciously thinking of this as the “tails” side?) 1/2

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez criticises the US and Israel for their attack on Iran,

"I say to the right and the far-right, they cannot support those who set the world on fire and then complain about the smoke caused by that fire"

Hugely significant attacking #Kharg #Island

Immensely foolish and the strategy is focused on putting oil prices up astronomically and that global energy dominance #Vance spoke of yesterday

Trump says US struck military targets on Iran's Kharg Island, key oil export hub President Donald Trump threatened to strike oil infrastructure on the ‌island if Iran continues to block shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

The United States on ​Friday attacked military targets on Iran's main oil hub of Kharg Island…

Once the harm the infrastructure at Karg Island it won’t be worth taking over

Clearly, Trump never read Dune.

No idea who this account is, but it knows what is going on. #Vance yesterday talked of #Energy #Dominance - starting to look like dominance in any form this US administration can grab.

They’re not going to change course, so we’re blowing up Karg Island and in turn Iran will destroy every oil and gas facility in the region they can hit. He’s a fucking lunatic painting himself in to like 12 corners all at once. It will crash the global economy and set off even more conflict.

Israel is planning to seize the entire area south of Lebanon's Litani River in a massive ground invasion, Israeli and U.S. officials say. -Axios

Still needs so many more military and civilian deaths and illegal crushing of another country. The world watches in horror the actions of two countries apparently powerless

But the war on Iran was very complete only a couple of days ago.
