The US:
Government of the people, by Trump, for Netanyahu, Putin and the Billionaires

The Testaments is beautifully filmed
It's like a Merchant Ivory period dystopia

Mandelson was appointed as ambassador because Trump is President
Were Trump not President he would not have been considered
This is Trump appeasement induced dysfunction
#BBCLauraK #Mandelson #Starmer

If Trump were not President of the United States Mandelson would not have been considered for the post of Ambassador to the US
Trump induced dysfunction
#Mandelson #Starmer #Trump #Epstein

The complex mechanisms of the US Constitution seem to have been replaced with the whims of an orange autocrat

In Bruges scene where Colin Farrell is pointing a gun at his head and Brendon Gleeson is also pointing a gun at Colin Farrell's head

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

"We aren't letting anything through the Strait of Hormuz"
Iran
"No, we are blockading the Strait of Hormuz"
Trump
Maybe if Trump hadn't thrown away the agreement negotiated under Obama . . .

Am I surprised ?
Not the least bit
Pots calling kettles is all political theatre

The columns on the White House Ballroom on the illustration recently shown mark it as the 'Temple of Trump'; discuss

Tucker Carlson right on Trump
A bit too ready to turn a legitimate question about how others may perceive him as an attempt to 'slur' (symptomatic of the state of US media)
#BBCLauraK #TuckerCarlson

"Britain is defeated" A Hitler
"Kick in the door and the edifice will collapse" A Hitler
"We won, we regime changed, they have no cards" DJ Trump

Wonder how US services personnel feel about being labelled 'warfighters' by a former fraction dodger and a former National Guard 'middle manager' ?

Does Trump care about anyone other than immediate family, US billionaires and Israeli ethno-nationalists ?
Discuss

I wonder what fictitious but 'vital' role will be found for Hogsbreath when Trump realises that the 'Secretary of War' is a liability ?
Suggestions on a post card to . . .

Trump seems as petty and vindictive as his 'friend' Putin
His involvement with Netanyahu's gamble has turned into a great mess
He betrays the Iranian people, the US, the allies of the US
The US deserved different candidates for President
#Trump #Iran #StraitofHormuz

Trump joins Netanyahu's 'opportunity war'
Trump fucks up
Trump walks away leaving clearing up his mess to sensible nations and leaders
Nothing achieved except destruction death and chaos
TACO
Israel still engaged in offensive action and war crimes

Isn't it time 'Kid Rock' rebounded as 'Granpa Rock', or at least as 'Middle Aged Reactionary Rock' ?

When my cat Morgan was hit by a car on his 'morning patrol' some 20 plus years ago my other cat Phoebe would sit by the cat flap for hours, I am sure anticipating his return, which never came.

Remember Snake Island where all the garrison were thought killed by the Russian barrage
Except they all survived
If Kharg Island isn't the cakewalk Trump anticipates ?
#Iran #Trump #KhargIsland #StraitsofHormuz

Is raising both eyebrows some sort of Jacob Rees-Mogg 'comedy catchphrase' ?
Having someone from GBNews on, is it BBC Newsnight that's desperate or the Tories ?
#Newsnight

Trump says Iran is defeated
Looks a bit like Hitler de laying Britain defeated in 1940 . . .
#Iran #Trump #Netanyahu

Badenoch on the bandwagon
How long would it take to develop the remaining oil and gas ?
Years
It would be sold on the market, not held back for UK use
Appears to be about tax income for Govt
Political Theatre ?
#BBCLauraK

Ban Muslim prayer in public spaces on religious festivals
Is the difference that the Tories snd Reform are Islamophobic ?
Is it that Muslims are a convenient group to 'other'; stoke fear as a motivator to vote Tory or Reform ?
#BBCLauraK #Badenoch #Farage #Tories #Reform

Regime change in Iran ?
The US occupying a country with 3x the area and 3x the population of Iran with Russia quietly supplying an insurgency ?
Or a civil war like Syria which would help Netanyahu cling to power ?
Trump is a (useful) idiot
#BBCLauraK #Iran #Israel #Trump #MAGA #USA

@restispoliticsus.bsky.social
If Trump has claimed a former President has said he wishes he had done what Trump is doing
And all four living former Presidents say it wasn't them
Then is Trump doing séances like Anthony ?
#restispoliticsus #Trump #Iran #restispolitics

Trump wants nations which he has disparaged and complained about help get shipping through the Strait of Hormuz
Why would they ?
Bounced into this war by Israel with no plan and with Putin helping Iran
#Trump #Iran #MAGA #BBCLauraK #Newscast

Trump will end the war with Iran when Netanyahu gives him permission to do so
Betrayal of those Iranians who do not support the Theocracy
Betraying the MAGA who were promised peace and lower prices
#Trump #Maralago #Iran

Vote Reform to get rule by rich oligarchs; with Farage as their fixer . . .

1979 when the Shah of Iran, who was at best marginally more popular than the current regime (but backed by the US) was removed in a popular revolution that was then subverted by Shia extremists
#bbcpn

Whose party is it ?
Is it Zara Sultana's Party, Jeremy Corbyn's Party or ?
It seems a shambolic coalition of the disaffected on Labour's left and independents motivated by the horror inflicted on Gaza
