Gavin Newsom likens Israel to ‘an apartheid state’ and decries war on Iran

RUSI Experts Assess Escalation and Regional Risks in the Iran Conflict As the United States and Israel conduct major strikes against Iran, four RUSI experts provide their thoughts after the first few days of conflict.

Watch our video featuring expert analysis from our researchers on Iran.

But, although it would be a golden cage of non-ICC states. It would only be a statement, nonenforceable.

I wonder what would happen:
1. Iran becomes signatory to the ICC
2. It ask the ICC to issue and arrest warrant against Trump
3. A warrant is issue
4. Trump becomes Personna Non Grata in 126 countries & denied entry
5. Hague never have to arrest Trump
6. US don't Trump-up the US Hague Invasion Act

And it wouldn't exactly be a great look. The US like Russia don't have to recognise the ICC.

However, with an ICC arrest warrant, wouldn't it cramp Trumps Travel arrangements?

A shame Starmer doesn't have the same moral fibre.

Murdering a head of state for one. Murdering civilians for two. Invading sovereign territory for three.
I wonder if TACO will ever go before the ICJ

Hmmmm! I believe the US are currently diminishing their weaponry faster than the are producing it.

Wait till you show him the hairdryer.

Knew

My experience was it took 30 US engineers to 1 UK engineer. I'm not sure they ever heard of systems. But they new about their miniscule bit in great detail.😏

Let him have his war in hell. I'm sure he'll never make the stairway to heaven.

China no longer buys US exports: Drawing the right lessons for the next Trump-Xi deal China essentially stopped buying US exports in April 2025. President Donald Trump had started his second term by launching a new trade war that he headlined with steep new tariffs on China. When China...

Trumpian Ecconomics. What a loser. The art of the deal.😏

Rhetorical as the question was, I thought I'd provide an answer.

While the "moron" usually refers to someone whose luck or bluster outruns their intellect, the "evil genius" is often far more dangerous because they are precise, calculating, and fully aware of the consequences of their actions.

There's a reason the Kurds have never been assimilated or ethnically cleansed...... It's a fortress‼️

NATO is dead, long live the US🤦😏

Turkey may pivot further toward Russia or China to counterbalance U.S. influence in what Ankara calls the "Kurdish Engineering Project."

It's currently more afraid of a "Kurdish State" emerging from the chaos of an Iranian collapse than they are of the Iranian regime itself.

Turkey is reportedly considering unilateral military action "​Preventive Incursion". There are active discussions in Ankara about creating a 15–20 mile deep "Security Buffer" inside the Iranian border to block Kurdish groups from establishing a permanent foothold.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to arm the Kurds. Welcome to a new Middle East war zone

The U.S. decision to arming Kurdistan is not seen as a move for democracy, but as a direct threat to Turkish national security, a "betrayal of the spirit of the alliance." Iranian Kurds today, PKK tomorrow

The UK government is currently planning for the potential evacuation of up to 300,000 citizens across the Emirates, 240k expat, 60k tourists. If the RAF committed its entire transport wing, they could likely move roughly 2,000–3,000 people per day under ideal conditions.

‼️Not long to wait then‼️

Optimistic Estimate: 3–4 weeks for the most desperate (tourists/vulnerable).
​Realistic Estimate: 3–6 months for a total withdrawal of the expat population.

​Travelers are stuck paying for their own extra hotel nights.

Several major war-risk underwriters (including firms like Jardine and Skuld) have issued 7-day cancellation notices for regional coverage.

95%+ of Standard Policies: Almost all standard local health and life insurance policies in the UAE contain a General Exclusion Clause for "War and Allied Perils."
Approximately 84% of current departures from Dubai and Abu Dhabi are being paid for out-of-pocket by residents.

Not anything good on the weapons front, putin will enjoy the extra income.

In several weeks US & UK weapons stocks will be critically depleted. But if Europe upsets TACO too much Ukraine may lose Intel too.

And WE sure as hell are not dealing with FDR! 😒 Twat!
