The Brexit tendency seem to be absolutely losing their minds over the government's refusal to get bullied by America into an illegal war.

Quite something from the people who wanted "independence" and to "take back control."

Badenoch gives a borderline disgraceful performance at PMQs on Iran | John Crace At times like this you have to thank your lucky stars that the opposition leader is not in Downing Street

'Nor would the Brits have got much thanks if they had joined in. Trump doesn’t do long-term relationships. He’s an orange man-child. One day you’re his best friend. The next, you’re dead to him'

Trump pisses on Europe till he needs airbases.

Trump

'It would never have occurred to the US president that there needed to be an endgame in mind before dropping bombs on Tehran. The only plan Trump had ever had was to carry on until he got bored. Then he would stop and let the suckers clean up the mess.'

Trump’s FAFO moment: America needs Europe after all The U.S. assault on Iran has hammered another bruise into the transatlantic relationship, with Macron, Starmer and SΓ‘nchez resisting Trump’s demands to back his war.

Trump’s FAFO moment: America needs Europe after all

Having spent a year criticizing, insulting and threatening European leaders, Trump now sees the value of having friends in strategically important places β€” if they have military assets he can use, anyway.

Ukraine is fighting two parallel wars of attrtition against invader Putin:
1
Economic attrition using deep strike drones & missiles. Continuous hits on refineries, gas & oil infrastructure are strangling Putin's economy.
2
Attrition of the Russian military manpower & equipment. 1000 casualties/day

Remember the "Russia is winning, Russia's victory is inevitable, so Kyiv should surrender" narrative that the Kremlin started to push heavily last year?

It was amplified by the Trump administration and parroted by certain Western media that should have known better...

β€œIf the administration is seriously mucking about or contemplating mucking about with the Kurds in Iran, they’re opening up a hornet’s nest. I think that Recep Erdoğan [Turkey’s president] will have a lot to say about it and so will others

Eg destroy the Iran navy.

It is not at all clear what the political aims are??

If the 600,000 armed Iranian personnel cannot be killed by missile strikes, what then occurs??
