The Iranian government is also a vicious murdering theocracy that likes hanging people from cranes.
As such they require to be approached with determined and skilful diplomacy, as practiced by the Obama administration when it achieved the historic deal Trump ripped up in a jealous tantrum.
Fascinating that a country whose navy and airforce have been “obliterated” can still arrest ships at sea?
One might be forgiven for thinking President Trump has not been entirely accurate in one or two of his recent claims.
www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/... - No surprise here. The two main news broadcasters promoting Reform, way above their status. We are watching a Trump style, slow motion coup by the news media to turn Reform into a major political force.
Trump has extended the ceasefire despite his bluster and bombast.
To say this man is unsuited to diplomacy is an understatement. His concept of a “deal” is to escalate and bully until the other side does what he wants.
That approach leads inevitably to wars.
America needs new and better leadership.
Sorry, what now??
Trump: “I built the US military in my first term and now I’m using it”.
Goodness, it would be news if he said something that actually made any sense, or was actually true.
Yes. And it shows how worried they are government were about getting along with Trump, that all judgement and caution was thrown out of the window to get Mandelson in place because of his perceived ability to somehow manage with Trump, despite what were clear alarm bells. Ouch.
Starmer’s screwed. Isn’t he.
He has gone mad.
Too soon?
Unlike the Daily Mail where the answer to the question they pose is always no
When it comes to any question of is Reform lying about something the answer is always yes

And self-inflicted, alas.
Americans saw the Brits make a complete hash of Brexit and thought “Hold the beer, we can do a way better shitshow than that.”
I know, it's really quite disconcerting.
Enough to feel ill.
This week it will be 40 years since Chernobyl.
Of course the news didn’t break immediately, in that pre-internet age. It came out bit by bit.
I remember it very well, then of course the Challenger disaster had already happened earlier the same year.
40 years.
How did that happen?
![Donny: [scrawls his fucked-up, klan-hood signature] “that’s a good one. oh, I wanted this one. you think Biden can do that? he can’t do that.”
‘that’s a good one’? my god, this narcissistic asshole is even in love with his own signature. he hoists us that document with the pride of a toddler who made it all the way to the potty without doing a boom-boom in his pants — which, by the way, is an accomplishment Preznit Fuckwit can’t manage.
Donny, you tiny and damaged homunculus, give it a fucking rest already. nobody in the world gives one shit about your infantile obsession with Joe Biden, aside from the sycophants and toadies who are paid to bark and clap like trained seals when the president makes a funny.
remember the Easter Egg Roll earlier this month?

Donny Dipshit brags (again!) that his signature is better than Joe Biden's (who even cares?), and Krazee-Eyes Kash passes out drunk in his office. it's all in today's very strong post, the likes of which few thought possible. thank you for your attention to this matter. link is here: bit.ly/4mMkjA8
Or does the game count as a third? Dunno, I haven’t played much in the way of video games in recent years.
It’s a story that gets retold throughout history - make <insert tribe of choice> great again, because <insert enemy of choice> needs to die.
All of this has happened before…
That brings us to the second Sci Fi franchise of this conversation!
I didn’t say I disagreed with the rule, just bear in mind the 35th rule for balance.
Imagine if you will the jobs and innovation and business that could be created if we took climate change seriously, and used these currently military-focussed resources to build anew, and to prevent catastrophe?
Stupid question in the title when the benefit is far, far greater than any cost.
Also: 'The main Leave campaign ahead of the Brexit vote, a decade ago now, promised the UK would "take back control" from Brussels.' - they lied.
Brexit just took away our participation in that control.
At what “cost”?
Brexit has cost an eye-watering amount.
We could have stayed in the EU and had our own moon landing programme for what Brexit has cost.

Nah.

Great news!
What a shame that students have been excluded from this scheme for several years purely due to Tory viciousness and spite.
