Having faced no consequences for anything, Trump has noticed that he has the world’s largest military at his command, and believes he has found a brilliant solution for solving problems that no one before him was smart enough to discover: just kill everyone in your way, until they obey you.

US bombers land in UK for 'the big one': B1s that can carry 34 tonnes of bombs land at RAF base — Daily Mail UK A US B-1 aircraft was pictured arriving at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire on Friday evening, where it is expected to be joined by more stealth bombers, including B-2s and B-52s.

Why has Starmer allowed these oathbreakers use of UK bases to carry out their war crimes?

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

MYTH: These strikes could lead to a long war. FACT: It depends how many decades you consider “long.”

Trump’s War On Iran: Myth Vs. Fact https://theonion.com/trumps-war-on-iran-myth-vs-fact/

The front page of The National. The headline reads: THIS IS THE HUMAN COST. The photo stretches across the front and back pages of the paper and is the aerial view of 100 freshly dug graves for the murdered schoolgirls of Minab, Iran

NEW: US & Israeli have bombed a 4th school.

Shahid Hamedane School in Tehran was hit today, following schools hit in Minab and Parand, Iran.

And The National in Scotland seems to be the only newspaper in the Western world giving these war crimes appropriate coverage.

As I was saying...

Just detailing your war plans live for all the world to see.
From the party that claimed to be concerned about Hillary Clinton having a private email server.

But it has to do that in conjunction with others. It's fair to say, and some people will disagree, but Brexit was a colossal mistake because it assumed a benign security environment. And I'm sorry, you could have foreseen these kinds of things happening. Making yourself entirely dependent on the US at a time when the world was changing dramatically was a strategic blunder. The world was changing [then] and it's well and truly changed now. The UK will have to work very closely with its other allies to figure out how to address this, and we need a national conversation. It doesn't mean

She doesn’t mince her words on Brexit from a national security perspective

So it's his legacy? I don't think he's really interested in legacy. He wants the accolades in real time because he won't be around to enjoy them when he is dead. Putin and Xi are somewhat different because they see themselves as the inheritors of great history - millennia-long [history] in the case of China. For Trump, it is just Trump. He completely trashes every other American leader - he doesn't have a good word for any of them.

This interview of Fiona Hill by @meganjgibson.bsky.social is excellent and full of insight and zingers such as this on whether Trump is driven by his legacy

Heating oil prices have more than doubled in the UK since war broke out: that’s 4.5m people living off gas grid, no they haven’t all got Agas, and in places like Cumbria and Scottish islands that’s a lot of anxious pensioners. (Difference with post-Ukraine is oil as well as gas spiking this time)

Tough sell: We're at war, prices are skyrocketing, we're about to have a gas shortage, no one coming out of college can get a job–but, dang, those men in the women's room ...

Another way of putting this: the US constitution failed to do the main thing its framers intended - to prevent charismatic monarchy and imperial domination. It's been overwhelmed by money, partisanship and changes in media technology.

Christopher Harborne has cemented Reform’s status as a mo... New political donation rules won’t stop him giving as much as he likes

In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.

Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.
