Schulz: I don’t begrudge any American asking, β€œWhy the fuck are we doing this when I can’t even afford a house? How the fuck do we suddenly have hundreds of billions for a war I don’t even understandβ€”how it helps us, or why I should feel any threat from this country?”

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

"While Nige has been brown-nosing Trump with his warmongering, he has missed that most of the country doesn’t want to follow the orange narcissist into an illegal war with no fixed objectives other than continue till The Donald gets bored"

Do you support Rep. Massie reading Epstein client list publicly?

Stop the Epstein war, prosecute the Epstein oligarchs.

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

NBC’s Richard Engel: β€œThe White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Now is the moment to cancel the King’s visit to the USA. If he were to go, it would look like an endorsement of the chaos that Trump has caused. It would be a hugely unpopular visit here in the UK. The blame for the visit would fall on the Government. The King has to do as β€˜advised’.

Did F47 wear a cap for the same reason he wore a bright blue suit to Pope Francis’s funeral???
That happened to coincide with news breaking Virginia Giuffre had died.

I think it was a piffling irrelevance called Johnson who started that.

By 1917 my grandad had been a wounded PoW for 3 years. By 1942 his son had been on Atlantic convoys in destroyers for 3 years. His daughter had lost her hearing serving as an AA gunlayer in the London Blitz. Don’t lecture us about late arrival.

As our Government announces that the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales is being readied for deployment to the Middle East to protect British interests , Chump chimes in. Saying we are not needed, looking like we are trying to tag along on an already-won war. He needs to check his history.

Proud to be British. We often get it wrong but try to put it right in general.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called β€œhype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

This is why we are in Iran. This is why he attacked Venezuela. This is why he is threatening Cuba.

All of his foolishness is a distraction. Release the Epstein Files!

Folks, from 3000 miles away across the Atlantic, this sounds like the ravings of a small-town drunk. A small man, serving a homunculus posing as President, who said our PM is no Churchill. The homunculus is no FDR.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Exactly. They finished off 7 legions by luring them further and further into Persia. Cutting supply lines, leading them away from water. Then facing a much weakened enemy they turned and slaughtered the remains. Crassus got special treatment, fed liquid gold down his gizzard. He was a known miser.

Isabel Oakeshott: Economic Migrant, Tax Exile, Future Evacuee? The commentators who fled Britain for lower taxes have built careers sneering at the country they left - yet still rely on it when the world turns dangerous.

For those who don’t know. Isabel is the girlfriend of Reforms Richard Tice. An Islamophobe who bangs on about no go London, Sharia law, invasions etc

She moved to Dubai with her kids because she didn’t like paying tax & contributing to her country now it’s being bombed

This goes way back in history to Roman times. They learned the hard way of FAFO in Judea and Persia. Especially Persia, losing SEVEN legions at Carrhae under Crassus. They never tried again.

Extraordinary crowds as a mass funeral procession begins in Minab, Iran for the 165 school girls & teachers killed in the US/Israeli school strike on Saturday.

Many outcomes of this war are uncertain. But a renewed generation of hatred towards the West is now baked in.

Murdering children and their teachers? This is a war crime.

It is an illegal incursion with regime change the goal & no imminent threat present.

Anyone says ai chose the target can fuck off. Regardless of the tools used, the onus is on humans to ensure civilian casualties are minimised.
