Nothing says strategic peace policy more than assassinating an old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy.

What a difference a year and a half make for #JDVance

We bombed the hell out of the Vietnamese for many years. They never surrendered. What happens next when you bomb people and they still won’t surrender?

The first lesson of war is β€˜know your enemy’ – and Britain’s enemy now is Donald Trump | Simon Tisdall As the Iran disaster escalates, the US president should be seen as an enemy whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdal...

"This is Trump’s war of choice. But Britain has choices, too. 250 years after the American colonists broke free of empire, it’s time for a British declaration of independence."

Fire fighters have been tackling the blaze for over 6 hours. If the fire takes central station (glass roof behind) it will be logistically and financially crippling for the city.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.
