I explained a while ago that it would be impossible to say anything about Trump’s Iranian ‘adventure’ with absolute certainty. I’m sorry, I was wrong. He will *never* do anything that genuinely upsets or angers Vladimir Putin. Whether in Iran, in Ukraine or even in the USA. It is his only constant.
Including islands, Iran has ~1000 miles of coast on the Persian Gulf.
Not really. Nixon recognised it was sapping America’s energy, hindered its relationship with China and weakened its strategic posture versus the Soviet Union.
Also Hindu vegetarianism, and pigs can’t be milked/produce eggs, and consume a lot themselves.
Waiting 7 years for your rapist to stand trial is a bigger betrayal.
Lebanese are just dead. Israelis are killed.
“broad strategy” ffs
So much for “William and Mary”, eh?
Dear @theguardian.com, you made me download your app. You made me sign into your app. Why then, in the name of C.P. Scott and all that is holy, do you not have an “open in app” button on your website?
WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
The IRIS Dena was a sitting duck. The US filmed a "quiet death" by torpedo for the news, then looked away. It took Sri Lanka—a nation with modest vessels but a true moral compass—to pull the screaming from the oil. 87 dead, 32 saved, 60 lost to the deep. No glory in a victory without a conscience.
A reminder that at this point America has killed more people in Iran since 28th February than Hamas killed in Israel on October 7th 2023, and killed 5 times more children than Hamas did.
Meanwhile, the US has been pushing the idea that Russia could form part of a solution, through the use of waivers against sanctions for Putin's war against Ukraine.
Surprise, surprise.
I’m seeing people thinking Iran is going to lay off Hormuz. I suppose that’s possible; but they also just appointed as Supreme Leader an IRGC sociopath whose entire family was just killed by the United States

Should we take the same attitude to Pete Buttigieg and him being gay?

There is no funnier train station sign than "Cambridge home of Anglia Ruskin University". Everytime I see it I'm impressed all over again at the level of trolling.
Trump: "We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough"
Evening.
Who exactly do you think is the “person close to the Reform UK leader” who obligingly gave Lucy Manning the detail for this story?
No, *who* is the source, in the story?
And who is the source for that particular claim?
By the early 1970s nearly 2/3 of married women with school age kids were in the labor force, so you are saying the richest 1/3 of households had significant numbers of women doing off-the-books work accounting for 20-40% of household income?
That math ain’t mathing.

⚡️US joins Russia, China in opposing IAEA resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
The U.S. voted against a resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors on March 5.
How can unpaid domestic work bring in 40% of household income?
I mean, how intent on revenge could a man whose father, mother, wife, and son were killed by the U.S. two weeks ago be?
The Europe that is not buying Russian oil or gas, that Europe?
Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib
And now, Minab
We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes
