It probably should be tbh, but the difference leaves me gobsmacked sometimes!

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

I wish all the Irish people working and holidaying in Dubai and Saudi Arabia a safe trip home and very little else

Still catches my european mind off guard seeing americans post like "noooo gas prices have skyrocketed up from $0.03 to $0.04 cents per swimming pool"

One thing I've learnt about conflict investigation in this age of open source evidence is you always see the same lies, just dressed in different uniforms. "It can't be my side that blew up the mosque/hospital/school it's a false flag/errant munition from the other side" with scant evidence produced

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

Jeffrey Sachs on RTÉ news last night regarding Iran, unequivocal in pinning the blame for this hugely destructive war of choice solely on the huge big imperialist bully who started it.

Very agreeable stuff, no idea what happened to the other Jeffrey Sachs!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You mean better than poor things? The trailer for Bugonia was so bad it put me off but maybe I’ll put it on some night

Can they not simply punch the shahed drones with their deus vult tattoos

But they posted such manly fashwave hype reels on twitter.

An Irish influencer in Dubai shared this - and while i wish them no harm, I just can’t stand them

PSOE asks the brave question "what if we do the popular thing and oppose the world historic unpopular president of the United States and his world historic unpopular war"

I have just held a call with President Pedro Sánchez to express the EU’s full solidarity with Spain.

The EU will always ensure that the interests of its Member States are fully protected.

It’s not a forever war if you keep starting new wars every 2 months. Don’t be ableist against the ADHD warmonger president.

European politicians and govts are often the target of these fake AI headlines and slander as well. You’d think they’d be more animated about it.

The EU should come down like the hammer of Thor on major social media platforms who allow ads for obvious scams and fake news articles.

All power to President Sanchez

"The trade was not that you were getting exposed to geopolitics when moving to Dubai."

I know that one

Trump you mean? Starmer is mainly getting insulted for the things he does / doesn’t do (chagos, military support) rather than what he says, so not sure it’s 100% a language / coverage thing.

But I mostly mean I’m amazed how often Starmer just seems to find the perfect balance of pleasing nobody.

Actually amazing how Starmer is one of the least critical European leaders re: US attacking Iran and still ended up being singled out by Trump for abuse among all European leaders over Iran.

Starmer is an expert in finding ways to not have his cake and not eat it

Our huge economic reliance on presence of big US companies. Govts here always afraid to upset that.

I know why, but it’s still mad how a NATO member like Spain can refuse US military aircraft like this while neutral Ireland always allows it, spanning everything from the Iraq War to present.

I’m guessing they want them ringing Washington in a panic urging them to wrap it up. It will damage their reputations as calm safe attractive tourism spots Etc.

Dodgy though when it could just galvanise support against them for a longer campaign. Overall just reads a bit desperate.

schools are never valid military targets, on or off base

if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime.

The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Oh it is, I’m still waiting on the end of Season 2…
