Israel is presenting its "allies" with a diplomatic/military nightmare right now. Not only are they razing Gaza to the ground and murdering starving children but now they've essentially taken out the air defences to Iran's capital city

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.

PM has 'lost control' of borders

How come I can't see who's following me on here? The suggested fixes for it don't seem to work.
