Prime Minister Starmer announced that UK government and NHS will be replacing torched Hatzola ambulances as of tomorrow, because he will not let evil win. The definition of a good man.

Just so. Trump is close to mastering a game of geopolitical checkers. He threatens to jump an Iranian piece. The Iranians then point out that they will then jump him back, leaving Donald Trump to confront fresh complexities that would confound any preschool strategist.
