It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win.

I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.

Wow, what a perfect summary; I couldn't have said it any better….

"far ahead of schedule" is only possible if there was a plan, and a schedule, in the first place.

Hereditary Peers Bill passes in House of Lords, paving the way for further reform The Hereditary Peers Bill has passed in the House of Lords in one of the biggest reforms to Parliament and UK democracy in a generation.

And it is done. Who your dad is no longer gives you a guaranteed say on the law of the land. We have tonight done what so many Labour people have sought to do throughout our history: no more hereditary peers

I really hope this lays to bed the idea that these guys are playing 12 dimensional chess. They're incredibly arrogant men with no vision, strategy, or understanding. It's incredibly dangerous re Iran and equally if not more dangerous in terms of what it signals to China and others.

My God I could punch the lights out of these mfas. "Beautiful", "amazing" are not words to be used to describe an unprovoked war of aggression causing massive destruction and death to the civilian population.

"Amazing" is not a word I would use to describe an unprovoked war of aggression causing massive hardship to the civilian population.

2/2 These monstrosities are not designed for pin-point strikes against missile batteries; they are weapons of mass destruction, designed to flatten wide areas and cities. When they are used against Iranian cities – as they will be – the UK will be complicit in the genocide that will surely follow.

1/2 The UK should never have allowed B52s and B1s to operate from UK bases. Does anyone really believe that the US is going to allow the UK to have target approval for missions before they take off? I doubt it. "Defensive strikes only" is just a smokescreen. We won’t know where they’re going.

The president had his DOJ seizing ballots while he is trying to force Republicans to enact new voter suppression laws. Our democracy is in danger.

Hilarious that the owner isn’t even pretending to be excited about the publicity.

If Trump relied on Jared Kushner’s opinion that Iran was weeks away from a nuclear bomb when making his decision to go to war like he claims, that totally makes sense because Kushner is the most reliable source for intel on Iran nuke capabilities.

I'm sure you know that while the U.S. signed the Rome Statute in 2000, it never ratified the treaty, meaning it is not bound by the court's jurisdiction over war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. Iran also is not a member, so this will not happen, however desirable it might be.

I'm sure he is. Effectiveness is not the issue - the purpose is to pile on huge amounts of debt to distress the American economy, as per Putin's orders.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

This war will fuel the global defense industry. More countries will rush to buy weapons and build defense systems, especially Gulf states, which will try to be self reliant moving forward.

But how does any of this actually benefit humanity as a whole?
