Thanks!

David Petraeus asked at the beginning of the Iraq War.

“How does this end?”

Nobody before #America attacked Iran has asked that question or got a satisfactory answer if it was asked because this is all they have. A “feeling” by Trump and now chaos because they have no plan and never did. Insanity!

We fixed the headline minutes after your post so not to mislead over the content. Thanks

I wrestled with this article all day - an honest effort to assess the arguments in favour of the war, which I don’t entirely dismiss, and whether they outweigh the arguments against - on which my conclusion is no - largely because I don’t trust this admin’s motives, staying power or competence.

V. good from @alexhh.bsky.social 👇

Kent Smetters, director of Penn Wharton Budget Model, recently told Fortune that total economic toll on US (direct & indirect) could reach as high as $210 billion fortune.com/2026/03/02/h...

Trump's actions don't square will his promise to tackle affordability.

Another reason why Palantir should be nowhere near the NHS

Important to hear the arguments being made in Washington, in order to combat them

Remember Operation Rolling Thunder? This is Operation Rolling Bullshit.

Excellent piece joining the dots between Surkov’s doctrine, Bannon’s gameplay, and the current US / Israeli strategy of shoot first, spin later, retcon always.

You cannot negotiate away a capability that has not yet come into existence. You cannot declare victory over a weapon that nobody has yet made. The object stays live precisely because nothing can close it. The game, as designed, carries no endpoint.

Very good article.

I'm certain Farage would have dragged us deep into this had he been PM.

We need to stay away because Ukraine still needs us. Plus it keeps Putin tied up and unable to help Iran. No doubt the real reason we aren't going in all guns blazing.

Darkly disturbing.

Palantir, of course, now in possession of our NHS data.

As I wrote for @bylinetimes.bsky.social earlier this week, Labour's anti-asylum proposals increase harm, increase the risk of exploitation and human trafficking and embed racism and discrimination as policy. The Home Secretary is ignoring evidence, and humanity. 8/
