When this war ends against Iran, I predict the Pedo will give himself a war service medal because he is the Commander in Chief
Knight's Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds.
still, Trump about to declare a national emergency and either cancel or "control" elections.
those mid-terms are now looking like a Republican landslide; likely wiping out the incumbent Democrats.
typically with nearly 100% of the vote.
looks like you lot are doing as well as the Tories over here. polling in the toilet...
however the party doing well is "Reform". currently polling 28%.
pretty low? how can they win?
#FPTP you only need 1 more than the next candidate.
50% will bother to vote.
so a "landslide" on 14% of the vote!
“Rep. Haley Steven has just introduced the No Getting Rich in Congress Act and it is absolutely brutal.
The bill would ban the President, Vice President, and members of Congress along with their families from buying stocks, cryptocurrency, commodities & futures.”
aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnd... there it is!
declare an emergency. then either cancel, or hold show, elections.
pretty sure the Democrats would be wiped out.
a single party state... #TrumPutin
Well, I for one am extremely relieved that the line between the "defensive" strikes Keir Starmer said UK bases could be used for, and offensive ones is so clear-cut, and that we can trust the US to respect it on every sortie. Phew!

you could stitch a Farage into that picture.
The dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.
worked a week earlier in Venezuela.
why shouldn't it work just as easily in a country that calls the US the "Great Satan".
and is a Shia-Islam theocracy.
and neglected to remember: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian...
obviously ripe for a US-puppet government to be installed!
it's very simple.
you kill the leader of a country, that country surrenders.
Trump killed the leader. Iran is required to surrender. indeed Trump gets to pick who the new leader will be.
signing over 100% of Iran's oil reserves to Trump Inc. is the first responsibility of the new government.
and given that Italy and France are apparently negotiating with Iran to allow their ships through the Strait of Hormuz, i can't see how Article 5 can be invoked.
will Trump threaten those ships?
a single country cannot invoke Article 5:
Article 5 requires unanimous consensus among NATO Allies to be invoked and specifically commits each member state to respond to an armed attack.
however:
Allies are given significant discretion in [...] deem necessary

"illegal war"
“NATO is a European and North American defense alliance set up to promote peace and stability and to safeguard the security of its members. It is not meant to aid a nation when a member state starts a war”.

You have to be kidding ;)
my view is:

let me think... why might some countries be hesitant to assist the US in its little war?
could it be that the US is sinking Iranian ships in the national waters of other countries without a declaration of war?
that's "rogue state" behaviour.
send them all to #theHague
So much smoking... should have an R rating now...
