Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War.
The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.
Before US went to war, Gen Dan Caine, chairman of Joint Chiefs, told Trump an American attack could prompt Iran to close Strait of Hormuz.
Caine said in several briefings that U.S. officials had long believed Iran would deploy mines, drones and missiles to close the world’s most vital shipping lane

I keep thinking that if Donald Trump had gone to prison for January 6, as he should have, all those Iranian schoolgirls would be having dinner with their families this evening.

If the dementia-driven war on Iran has done nothing else, it’s brought forward the urgency with which we need to grow the fuck up and get off of fossil fuels ASAP.
We have the tech - it’s time to tell the oil companies to just fuck off.

Anyone holding a UK passport should be liable for UK tax! US citizens are required to submit an annual tax return regardless of where they are!!

Dear everyone, "net zero", though it's a stupid title and the wrong story, is the solution to your pain not the problem.
Prolonging dependence on oil & gas is the problem. It's been the policy for a century. It's the reason we're not laughing atm, like countries that are already ahead of the game.

U.S. Air Force B-1 And B-52 Bombers Now Striking Iran From The UK
The U.S. Air Force now operates three distinct bomber aircraft, all of which can trace their development back to the Cold War.
US bombers loading up on UK airstrips before raining down bombs on Iran.
Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.
When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

Iran made it explicitly clear that any country that allows attacks to start from its territory is an enemy.
The US's Middle Eastern allies already suffered the consequences.
This isn't some unknown unknown.
Even if they're not British planes doing the fighting, Starmer still put us all in danger.
