Just a recommendation which I've mentioned before 

Watch Bitter Lake by Adam Curtis 

It's the closest explanation I've seen to our relatively modern fucked up world

He'll never admit it.

If it was Starmer or the EU who had initiated this, he'd be all over them, and quite rightly so

He wouldn't y'know. It's a job which needs doing.

The two spineless entities you mention wouldn't have the cojones to do anything other than 'diplomacy'. With vicious totalitarian murderers of domestic Persian protestors.

Given it's not going as planned I'm surprised he's not blamed it on the Clooneys

Or Perloisi

 Who is this Perloisi?

Remember everytime he comes with one of these the Tories, Reform and Bolty thought we should have been helping out from day one. Team America : World Police just been on Sky so he might been watching that. 
 

 

Yep. We should still pile in, albeit late to the party, and help finish the evil bastards off. 

Best thing for world peace.

You go too far sir. Even though they are off their rockers these days even I don’t think we should start fighting the Yanks and Israelis.

Ground incursion likely. Eliminate IRGC pockets and locate and remove their enriched uranium hexafluoride.

Job done.

Locate and remove their enriched uranium hexafluoride

What could possibly go wrong?

My missus does viewings for an Estate Agents, today she had an Iranian couple looking round. They get chatting my missus asked where she was from, she did this awkward look and said Iran.

She still has family over there, she explained what a frightening place Iran is to live especially for a woman and any other religion is not tolerated.

When Trump first started all this she was excited that things would change, but now it feels like Trump ‘just wants the oil’ and does not care about what happens to Iranians now or in the future. 
 

Clearly just one women’s view but my missus said it was interesting that she was embarrassed to be Iranian, welcomed the invasion but is now just worried that her family and other Iranians in the county are being forgotten as the rest of the world worries about oil prices and stock market values. 
 

The woman came her to do a PHD but now has a permanent visa and a job.

'When' not 'if'. And for the natives, Truss's short premiership will seem like it was a walk in the park.

I prefer if.
I'm still clinging to a rapidly diminishing hope that common sense will eventually prevail.

Grown ups and proper politics.

Good to see.

Suppose that's what happens when we're all on the same page and we all want the same thing, cheaper oil

Agreed, if we are actually taking the lead, and anybody pays any attention to what we say 😉

The slight irony of all this being that because of the belligerence of Trump, the UK will be driven back to closer ties with the EU, which I think Starmer was waffling on about the other day.

Talking of this war, I don't know how true it is, but some analyst just said that so far this war has cost the US around $25B~$30B, and Israel $15B~$20B........Iran about $5B~$7B

That's a lot of hardware being chucked about the place

Now this is the thing that surprised me, apparently, if/when it ever finished, part of any peace deal will involve repatriations, and the US/Israel, as they're the bad guys here (like it or not, they started it) will likely agree to them. And that could be up to $100B (although a large chunk of that will just be allowing Iran access to their own funds)

It's a messy business this war malarky, the rest of the world has done very well to keep out of it (so far)

Out of anybody the arms companies must be making a fortune from this war.

Heaven forbid anyone in the know might have tried to invest in them just before the war started. Anyone with inside knowledge……

Restore are aiming for a 'send the buggers back' messaging which is appealing to the idiot fringe of Reform support 

Make it make sense

Saw a clip before of one of their mouthpieces going on about this social media link up where youths are all teaming up in town centres.

His big grip was the media weren't mentioning that they were mainly all black.

Bit racist that tbf.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reportedly asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and immediately retire.

Been asked to leave his post because he knows that putting boots on the ground in Iran is a disaster waiting to happen and told Pissed Up Pete as such?
