It’s not like Vietnam though. No no no. Totally different.

Russia has failed to subdue a nation of 30 million people right on its doorstep, even WITH ground troops… Iran’s population is three times the size and it’s on the other side of the world.

A budget is a moral document.

What are the short and long-term effects of someone in the US military saying: “I cannot follow that order, sir, as it is contrary to the Constitution and my oath”?

I pose this as a hypothetical because I hoped to have seen some practical examples by now, but haven’t.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

What a fucking piece of work. people.com/trump-says-i...

Financial Times: The Pentagon and Persian Gulf countries plan to purchase Ukrainian interceptor drones.

🇺🇦 Ukraine has developed low-cost interceptor drones costing only a few thousand dollars, much cheaper than Patriot missiles (~$3.5M) used to shoot down Shahed drones (~$30K).

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

Regime change is desperately needed in a fundamentalist state that threatens world peace, oppresses women and minorities and brutally puts down protests.

Plot twist: it's America.

If Trump had been a Prime Minister of the UK, he would be ancient history by now. Where is the accountability?

Scientist: 'This discovery could solve all the world's energy problems!'
CEO funder: 'Hmm, just sign this NDA...'

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

It now appears that Trump is waging a religious war. This not only makes his government little different from the regime he's attacking, it also violates the Constitution and puts every participating member of the military in violation of their oath to protect it. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

No, Starmer is no Churchill. Except when he is standing next to Trump. Everything's relative.

Having primary allegiance to a religion rather than the nation in which you live or its constitution is EVERYTHING Trump and Farage and others of their ilk rail against.

America: the regime change you need to bring about is closer to home.

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

If this is really the case, and this is a religious war, then the US military is acting unconstitutionally and everyone taking part is breaking their oath to protect the Constitution.

The main reason Iran is not a distraction from Epstein is because the two are entirely connected.

Epstein saying if Trump is “cornered like a rat he could begin bombing Iran”

“You guys need to understand that he is psychotic,” Epstein warned handlers.

So, does the US military no longer serve the US Constitution, which insists on a separation between church and state, but one specific religion – and, more than that, the fundamentalists of one specific religion?

If so, how is it different from the military of Iran, Afghanistan, ISIS or Al Qaeda?

Hey, guys, is it a troubling sign when an 80-year-old man can't remember what continent his father was born on?

The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the “special relationship” is genuinely pathetic

If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- here’s a reminder of who did it.

I know it’s looked like it 100 times before, but I feel we’re in the endgame now.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Nigal Farage is setting out his migration plans, which would involve retrospectively removing permanent UK residency for hundreds of thousands of non-European people, arguing this the only way to defeat a "really worrying, dangerous form of extreme right ethno-nationalism".

Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.

oh ffs

If this is Armageddon, I hate to point out that makes Trump the anti-Christ

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

obviously the president of Ukraine could have no interest in Iran, now to take a big sip of coffee and look up what a Shahed drone is.

I love how it is being presented as something completely new and not just the latest episode in an already ongoing, endless war.
