Starmer kowtowing to Trump

Starmer kowtowing to Trump

The kowtowing, the knees calloused and bloody from constant genuflection, the lips chapped to buggery from ass-kissingβ€”I'm glad it was all worth it in the end.

Up until 2023, I'd have agreed with those saying the Isrælis would never act without the green light from their benefactors in the US first.

But given Rubio's statement & how Netanyahu degraded & horse-whipped Biden at every possible opportunity, who's to say the tail ain't wagging the dog now?

I was *shocked* to hear a presenter on Sky News the other day ask the question whether the United States govt was acting in a way that was "Isræl first", not "America first".

It's the kind of thing that got his colleague Belle Donati disappeared in 2024.

Things are changing.

This has been happening for three decades now, with a direct line from 1990s US talk radio to the early internet, online conspiracism codifying the language of the Right, pandemic radicalisation & the fight for eyeballs in the attention economy.

Wrote about it here. TLDR, it ain't gonna get better

"They said 'Mr President, you can't kiss a horse!' Maybe it's not a good idea. Some people would do it, but maybe not me. Not in public. Wouldn't go down too well, smooching with a beautiful horse. People might get the wrong impressionβ€”but horses are good people. Make EQUINES Great Again."

Exclusive | Trump won’t rule out sending US troops into Iran β€˜if necessary’— tells The Post war is progressing β€˜way ahead of schedule’ β€œI have to do the right thing,” Trump told The Post. β€œI have to do the right thing. This should have been done a long time ago.”

These poor fucking hick grunts think they're gonna be going to somewhere that looks like Iraqβ€”the set of Dune but with less snake monsters.

And then they arrive and the country is 50% mountain, 150% bigger and has 250% more people that hate you.

I mean, I'm saying this not because of anything to do with munitions shortages, but because the alleged pædophiles and rapists in the Oval Office and Pentagon's have no respect for the destructive power of the atom, and obviously think using the world's ultimate weapon will be cool and so alpha.

When your media outlet broadcasts provable falsehoods to a worldwide audience without challenge, you are engaging in propaganda.

One of the well-remunerated mavens of the British print or broadcast media needs to ask the prime minister or foreign secretary whether they would support the US/Isræl using nuclear weapons in this war.

I'm sure the answer would be a mealy-mouthed yes, but these ghouls must be forced to answer.

Joining war on Iran may be illegal

Joining war on Iran may be illegal

This article is from June 2025, what's different now?

The answer is that the UK prime minister is considerably weaker than he was nine months ago, and far more desperate.

In Trump's new video, he vows U.S. will stand with Iranians as they try to wrest control of government.

Minutes later, White House releases statement (below) signaling goal is threat reduction.

Earlier, Trump told the Atlantic he'd be open to talks w/ regime.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

03/01/26

Peace Through Strength: President Trump Launches Operation Epic Fury to Crush Iranian Regime, End Nuclear Threat

In a bold and necessary exercise of American strength, President Donald J. Trump authorized Operation Epic Fury a precise, overwhelming military campaign to eliminate the imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime, destroy its ballistic missile arsenal, degrade its proxy terror networks, and cripple its naval forces. This operation, executed in partnership with regional allies, follows exhaustive diplomatic efforts and comes after 47 years of Iranian aggression including attacks on U.S. citizens, sponsorship of global terrorism, and brutal oppression of its own people.

This lack of a plan is no different from the other American wars of the 21st century—it's just now there's a senile crime boss in charge and this war's for Isræl, not the US.

Given the supine, genuflecting reaction of the political class in the Sainted West to the latest act of aggression in Iran, I'm sure that if the U.S. were to throw nukes into the mix, our fearless leaders would send thoughts & prayers to the slain masses & urge the Iranians to de-escalate
