1) "No quarter" is indeed specifically war-crime term
2) Under Geneva Conventions, after sinking an enemy ship, the attackers must "take all positive measures" to find and rescue any survivors. Text in next post
No evidence US sub did so after attack, AFAIK
"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.
“The United States wants to divide Europe.”
EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas makes harsh accusations against Washington in an interview: The US was actively working on the decomposition of the EU. And their methods are those of real opponents.

Notice he doesn't include "the law."
“Europeans have foundered in letting themselves be so dependent on the whims of an America commanded by a rogue president,” Anton Jäger writes. “Almost by default, they have colluded in the conditions of their own endangerment.”
Wind power, as it turns out, is very useful

A grim BBC report from Havana filed 4 days ago. The Trump Administration is deliberately causing the worst humanitarian crisis of my lifetime in the western hemisphere and the US prestige press can't be bothered to cover it. Please shame them into reporting on this crisis before people start dying.
Trump and Farage will exploit progressive authoritarianism
Piece from me on how the liberal elite’s attacks on our basic freedoms feeds the radical right
A large proportion of our population here in Ireland still behave like uneducated peasants. They have no sense of civic, social or environmental responsibility. Our politicians, planners and law enforcement agencies are no better. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...
When the wife's at work I put the washing in together on a 40 quick wash, no one notices the difference, washing machine didn't explode, and it was done simply rather than 12 separate 4 hour washes, you're wrong Lucy. Obviously I can't tell you you're wrong, but you're wrong.
Who are the amoral people that actually give this place some business?
Quote of the day
I have no doubt but that Trump would deliberately act in a way to undermine Ukraine
Unless, of course, that's the intention in the first place.
"Is it possible Trump has some vague memory of Homer’s Iliad?" Eh, No.
"As Trump took the stage, they immediately began to applaud—and then they just didn’t stop. Still, House leaders might console themselves, there are worse humiliations. You could be in Trump’s cabinet, doomed to spend your life flapping around in clown shoes."

Aren't you happy that the Trump boys are going to get great returns on their drone company investment?
Why bother. The word of the US is no longer worth the paper it's written on.

Of course! Why wouldn't the Kremlin also endorse the Trump regimes favourite European leader? giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is increasingly distancing herself from the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.
What a pathetic character Trump is. He is the great shame of the US and Americans.
Rogan is contemptible. Trump's character, or lack thereof, was as evident when he endorsed him, as it is now. Hang your head in shame, Joe. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

Almost every incumbent Congressional Rs running in a competitive races has voted for:
- tariffs, higher prices, slower economy
- war, higher prices, slower economy
- health care cuts, higher health care costs, less care
- ICE terror force, killing Americans
- tax cuts for oligarchs
Good luck!
"The saddest thing is destruction of truth and democracy in Trump’s plutocracy. It is awful to have to hope for economic downturn and the pain of poverty to bring home to Americans the shameful horror of whom they last elected." www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...
“Yesterday Trump was, even by his own standards, the most rambling, downbeat and punctured I've seen him in years.”
Is calling the Iran war 'very much complete' - moments after oil prices spiked - Trump beginning to panic that his war has backfired?
Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.
