Trump: I'm bored. It's done
Khamenei Jr & co: is it fuck. This is ushering in the Mahdi
American Evangelicals: nope. We're bringing Jesus back
Netanyahu: I feel Greater Israel should be inaugurated with a nuke on Tehran
Pakistan: hope Tel Aviv enjoys glowing in the dark
I need old man in yellow closure.
Top tier special forces are likely within Iran right now, helping to guide airstrikes, etc.
If American soldiers have been captured, I doubt they would be regular army.
This sounds exactly like Rumsfeld wanting to control Afghanistan with a few special forces teams.
My thumbs have gone weird
I mean, they sent Shaheds to Russia early on, but them provided them with the means for manufacture in Russia.
MAGA faction 1: we should rule the entire planet and take whatever we want
MAGA faction 2: we should rule the entire planet, but not have anything to do with the rest of it
MAGA faction 3: Jesus will rule the planet with an iron, American fist after Armageddon
Spanish air traffic controller here (civilian, but military ATCs coordinate with us).
No plane is gonna enter our airspace without clearance to do so, less so land on Spanish airports (at least not peacefully).
Cutting trade with Spain only pushes us toward other global markets, not good for the US.
Love that he's also saying "doesn't matter if Spain isn't letting us use their runways. We'll use them anyway."
This is what he's actually saying to reporters. And none of them are like...."sir, have you taken all your required medication today?"
"The objectives are clear"
(Please note that the objectives are subject to change. Terms and conditions apply)
Hyperintensive, regional military procedure, not war.
This is a bloke who likely believes that Napoleon campaigning in the Russian winter, was a "chad move."
Russia: special military operation, not war
America: hyperintensive military procedure, not war
When the interceptors run out, and the Iranians are still launching missiles and drones in large numbers, these idiots will probably flip a coin between troops on the ground and tactical nukes...
Newspapers could print entire columns entirely composed of "bibble, bibble, paaaaaaah, bibble, cluck, cluck, cluck, reepydeepybibbleclop," and readers would immediately assume it's Trump being interviewed.
Vassalage and oil dependency in my country (the UK).
France & Germany are intertwined to a lesser degree.
No doubt all parties above know this could spin out of control rapidly and aside from economic interest, some measure of sanity is needed via involvement.
Fuck Trump & Netanyahu.
This is what it is, to be an oil-dependent vassal state.

But...
Lordy.
Any mention of WMDs in there? 😬
Labour doubling down on everything that's collapsing their vote, is quite the sight to see.
I watched the whole thing. Absolutely manic. Honestly couldn't look away.
Not really, but at least they made the effort to bullshit the UN into submission.
Oh lord, he's putting on his serious face
Not so long ago, situations like this were eased by professional US diplomats, armed with proficiency in the local languages and vast amounts of knowledge on the region.
Now, if Trump sends anybody at all, it'll likely be a 24yr old Reddit troll, who got a job with Trump by complimenting his hair.
I wish Starmer had been different. I wanted him to succeed.
14yrs of Tory rule (the latter half dominated by absolute chaos) wrecked the country. Radical solutions were required. A vision.
A continuation of the status-quo with minor tweaks, accompanied by bizarre attempts to court fascists?
Nope.
As discussed in here the problem with Labour attacking Reform and Greens as two sides of extremism is that Labour and Green voters are very similar in their views.
And the big majority of Labour voters would be willing to join a coalition with Greens, when almost none would with Reform.
Seems like he is going to be leaving these shores for the Facist States of Trumplandia, permanently.
As if the poor buggers don't have enough bellends to deal with already.
Mind you, I'm sure he'll be back to monetise a riot or two.
