HS students in an AP political science class would come to that conclusion but not the Clowns in the WH!
This has historically proven to be correct.
saw some iranian guy say like heβs glad ayatollah is dead but the guys who did it would be fine if we all were dead.
i will say gonna be hard to win them hearts and minds when u nukin the local girls school.

Today we launch our plan for Wales, putting behind us the dark days when Nathan Gill, the Leader of Reform in Wales, took bribes to do the bidding of foreigners.
In other news, we have just had another Β£3million donation from a crypto investor who lives in Thailand...
I read this morning that Israel wants to obliterate the Iranian regime so that may never rise again
The level of the bombing of 100 million people will not achieve this
What it will achieve is thousands of new radicalised terrorists hell-bent on the revenge of their dead fathers mothers & brothers

If I've got this straight the right are furious that the Government won't go to war and the 'Left' are furious the Government has gone to war and Farage has declined to do a surgery in Clacton in favour of going to America to get Trump to help him undermine the Government.

Want to know how broken our media is? We are in an illegal war, & reporters/anchors are getting on the phone with Trump daily & justβ¦relaying his words to their viewers, like stenographers. No challenging questions or follow-ups, no discomforting of Trump.

Wondering when Reform and Conservatives are going to realise that their unconditional backing of Trump is highly unpopular outside of their own bubbles.
We're investigating a firm called MP Estate Planning, which sells trusts to save elderly people from the "modern threats" of divorce, bankruptcy, care home fees and inheritance tax.
We believe the trusts don't work.
If you've come across the firm, please get in touch.

Major breaking: Tom Barrack, Trump's U.S. ambassador to Turkey, was asked in released e-mails by Jeffrey Epstein to send him photos of "child" to "make him smile". The entire Trump administration is one big Epstein conspiracy.
When will they stop the Epstein distraction war?

This is incredible. UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet

This is superb, as ever from @bbcrosatkins.bsky.social who should be in charge of political content in the BBC.
Head and shoulders above all domestic political commentators.
Unemotional fact based unpeeling of bullshit
So Trump is now taking upon himself, like a king or god, the power of life and death. He personally grants the permission to kill.
I donβt think war, with its somber political or military objectives, is meant to be mixed up with ideas like βpunishment.β
Itβs not meant to be mixed up with religion, either.
