Good job the Iranians don't have any more weapons, or things could get a bit tricky for Trump.

Me, too.
Was at Knebworth when I think they played it for the first time.

Hegseth increasingly looks like a 2D printing product that was pulled out of the twat-factory waste bins, by a passing drunk.

Is it any good for producing drones?
Or perhaps wind turbines?

On a brighter note - the American people are well-armed.

But the whole world will pay the bill for Trump's Golf War, and his failure to support Ukraine.

Trump could bet all his money on his own demise.
That would be par for his coarse.

The man who said that America should not be "the world's policeman" has transformed America into the world's gangster.

Pete Hegseth: “The only thing prohibiting transit in [the Strait of Hormuz] right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit should Iran not do that.”

What a fucking idiot.

That man Hegseth looks psychologically disfigured.
It is very disturbing.
Should the Trump regime not be hiding him from public view?

Beyond the US, for poor people all over the world, now is always the worst time for food inflation to spike.
They will perceive that it is Trump and America that have made their lives harder.
Trump's America is losing friends, very rapidly.

I expect he is getting expert advice on the best quotes he can borrow from famous war movies and cowboy films.

If you have any doubt about BBC bias, watch Fiona Bruce pile in on Siân Berry, totally out of context, when discussing Iran.

Trump is a remarkable strategist and world leader.
He is the Chief 'horeson of the Apocalypse.

Just Fiona Bruce speaking over Sian Berry

Fiona Bruce is not doing her job.
She is not an impartial Chair.
She thinks she is running a self-centred version of Newsnight.
But she isn't good enough for Newsnight.
It happens every week.
Sick of it.

I want to see Farage rush up there and give his full support to his Reform UK foot-soldiers.

Peter Hegseth combines the dual roles of pantomime villain and circus clown, in a masterful manner.

His next speech: "Come on, Ayatollah! Make my day!"

Farage looks like he's auditioning for a role in "Clarkson's Farm", when all this Reform UK nonsense is over.

The media continue to gang up on him (including 70% of LBC presenters).
They lathered him after the by-election.
Then they blasted him because he didn't jump to Trump's tune.
Then his 'dreadful judgement' appointing one dodgy man to deal with another.
And now they are inventing his future failings.

Jesus.
That really demands a strong response from Trump.
Perhaps a three-wood from the fairway.
The Golf War.
