If I read one more story on LinkedIn about someone in finance who somehow got caught up in the Middle East either via work or travel through and who somehow now feels they had an epiphany on life they feel they need to share w the world (while already back in safety), I will scream…

You have got to be kidding me Now these nutjobs walk around with baseball caps that say ‘Make Iran Great Again’ - Am beginning to despise this US Admin and people like Lindsay Graham more than our historically fiercest adversaries What a true digusting spectacle & totally w/out any respect

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained" Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

😂 That's like the pot calling a snowflake black...

Russia hit a grand slam when they duped America into putting the dumbest man on the planet in the White House

To say that Farage is a traitor to his country is an understatement He is in the US actively working against the interests of his own country, a country that he so desp wants to be PM of in the future Anyone still voting for him/his party - is this really the side of history you want to be on?

“You’d think he’d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war he’d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist who’d listen.” And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves. www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump...

“Dear Diary, Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”

So much winning…

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

The daily horrors, the sadism, the depravity, only strengthens my resolve to oppose this sick regime with all my energy.

I know that Trump & his acolytes are too stupid and culturally illiterate to understand this, but my guess is that asking for a ‘complete and total surrender’ won’t go down too well with the Iranians; nor his thinking that he gets to choose or have any say in any new leader…

As the death and destruction mounts throughout the Middle East, the imbecile Trump calls for “unconditional surrender.”What a laughably sick tragedy—for America and the world. Tough days ahead.

I hope e’one is fully aware of the likely terrorist activity that will spring from this in due time Is anyone so naive to think that Iranians esp those ill-disposed to the US and Western democracies as a whole will just roll over and forget about this?

Spain’s prime minister says his position does not stem from any sympathy for Iran’s regime, but because the war is “illegal”, “a major threat” to the international order and “contrary to the interests of humanity”

Oh yeah… hottest country and economy in the world… my xxx… Anyone still under any illusions that Trump is systematically destroying all???

Just saw the FT headline that Axel Springer is poised to buy the Telegraph Is this good or bad? I honestly don’t know I guess anything is better than the Daily Mail

The US-Israeli force has now bombed THIRTEEN hospitals and health centres. This is exactly what Israel did in Gaza. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Good luck Isabel Oakshott, Nick Candy etc… I wish I’d feel worried for you but I really don’t

And this is how a real leader behaves Someone might want to tell the Trumpists of this world President Zelenskyy has my respect not to mention deepest gratitude

I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

Donald Trump must find a way to cut short his ill-considered conflict with Iran. His rash approach is sowing chaos econ.st/3OYibZ1

So Pam #Bondi has introduced a rule for #DOJ that gives all DOJ lawyers immunity... wtaf?!! There is a public comment period. Put in your opposition comment - it will support the lawsuits coming after this rule is in place. THE COMMENT LINK IS UNDER VIDEO: youtube.com/shorts/434iX...

The Justice Department has posted online three FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice. Trump has consistently denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

President Zelenskyy is a dignified leader and a real statesman. Trump is a despicable, vicious warmonger.

Not to make light or fun of the seriousness of the situation, but sometimes some light amusement and laughter is needed And this had me in stitches youtu.be/Lo_ZdH1An5M

All of this will put a target on every single American AND every citizen and person in other Western countries I dread to think what terrorist activity will come out of this

"The decision of the Netanyahu gov to act, drove America to act - as a supporter of Israel, I still find that very troubling". Senator @markwarner.bsky.social says the US pursued "a war of choice" in Iran, and Trump can't expect allies to "to fall in line".

Wait - Starmer was asked if HE ruined the ‘special r’ship’ w Trump??? Are u f kidding me? Trump insults us & other allies daily, insulted the UK armed forces, bullied Starmer into allowing the US to use UK airbases, levies tariffs at us despite US trade surplus w the UK Who was this nitwit asking?

Some (Green voting) people on this thread seem to be suggesting that we should join the Americans in fighting an illegal war. I can only assume they’re the kind of contrarians who always protest vote but don’t really believe in anything.

Zelensky warned that a Ukrainian withdrawal from Donbas would save Putin between 300,000 and one million soldiers, saying Russia lacks the force to take Ukrainian-held fortified positions on the battlefield. #Ukraine

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 A PM standing firmly by his convictions who - thus far - has withstood Trump’s digusting bullying tactics

Oh yes, Iranians will surely be v grateful to the US that their country has been razed to the ground & their children killed Hope the likes of M Blackburn, Hagerty, Fetterman are preparing for the terrorist sleeper cells that will grow out all of this

Never did I think that Fetterman was going to end up being one of the biggest disappointments ever

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

This isn’t directed at all the like-minded Americans on here, many of whom I have gotten to know via writing regularly on here But I have never despised an administration in the US as much as this one The disgusting vile bullying of allies & lack of accountability is just horrendous

I look at Hegseth’s posturing and all I see is masculine energy gone wrong

The only person who has wrecked the mythical special relationship is Donald Trump. He wrecks every relationship. Fact.

I think we all know by now that there really was no rationale for it & to all those attacking the UK PM or Spain for not participating in it, may I suggest they well & truly buzz off Yes, Khameini is dead - great - but it’s what comes now that’s imp & Trump et Co have no clue what they unleashed

Maybe one day the "Ukraine is losing" broken clock folks will be right, but for now, Ukraine is not losing.

AND innocent Iranian/other civilians, case in point the 100 plus little girls killed while in school because the US indiscriminately dropped a bomb on it & why - because you have a mentally unstable, psychotic President who woke up and decided it’s fun to play war & engulf an entire region in war
