Where are we? A president clearly in mental decline, a compliant Congress afraid to exercise there oversight responsibilities when the useful idiot starts a war. When I served, it never occurred to me that I would ever have to question an order.

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.

It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

Frankly, I despair. When the chairman of the "Board of Peace" creates a regional conflagration on little more than a perverse whim, we're there. Full Orwell. No hyperbole. No checks & balances. Not even a plausible reason. We're there!

And we're being railroaded into it whether we like it or not.

Dear Mr Orwell. I can only apologise for being 42 years late, but we did get there in the end.

Thank you. I think a nursery rhyme fits the word ..... in a Roald Dahl kind of way!🀒

Trump and Putin are kindred spirits when it comes to cynicism and contempt for you and I.

Happy Monday. There were three possible words. Two had been before so I went for the one that hadn't and it worked out fine for me. A take on a well-known nursery rhyme today. No mice were harmed - chiefly because it's not about mice, although you wouldn't want this in your home!🐭🀒

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

Fascism is the most inherently unstable political system, almost never outliving the dictator.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

I actually am unhinged enough to think it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. It’s not as if lost lives matter to him.

As a proud Iranian born, Canadian, I do not want any help from the US and Israel for a regime change!

The government will be toppled when people are ready.

The same should happen in the US, and this criminal regime needs to go to prison.

Cost of living problems of my country's citizens? Being the world's punisher-in-chief?

Honour and responsibility? That hot feeling that surges through my veins with supreme power?

Decisions, decisions!πŸ€”
