U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Imagine if Iran had sunk a US Ship in open water not causing any threat, how would it be portrayed?

Terrorism

Now think the terrorist regime of Iran has less than 1/10th the number of people in prison as the US does.

US is only not a terrorist because you aren't told they are

Week 69 is the longest list so far. With the storylines that were developing, almost all bad for Trump, it was easy to see why he might want to divert attention elsewhere. Catch up on all the stories you need to know about!

We agree with Daisy Cooper MP: in the face of increasing global threats, we must focus on building ties with the reliable allies on our doorstep, Europe. Rejoining key European security programmes would ensure that the UK is once again involved in shaping Europe's security agenda.

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.

Weird.

It’s being said a lot that the shadow of Iraq is hanging over Keir Starmer and the Labour Party during this Iran crisis.

It absolutely should. What’s remarkable is how little much of the British media and the rest of politics seem to be thinking about it at all, or learning its lessons.

Spain is leading the way declaring.

NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Be more Spanish.

Great comments on here, entertaining and informative! As I get older I feel my pagan Celtic roots more…no hatred, just enjoyment in simple things; watching the seasons change, Morris dancing, looking for fairies with my granddaughters and doing witchy stuff around Halloween!

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.

Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.

also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

Global economy must stop pandering to β€˜frivolous desires of ultra-rich’, says UN expert Olivier De Schutter says new economic agenda needed to tackle crises of rising inequality and ecological collapse

Global economy must not pander to β€œfrivolous and destructive demands of the ultra-rich”.

They fund political parties, profit from socially and ecologically destructive growth.

UK example - deregulation, regressive taxation, concentration of wealth, inequalities, sewage in rivers.

Our UK Prime Minister is not dealing with Roosevelt or Kennedy or Carter or Obama. He is dealing with a petulant, unreliable idiot, who changes his mind every five minutes. Threatens to invade Greenland & Canada. Who has now with Israel started a war on Iran, with massive impact on the rest of us.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

Murdering more civilians? That seems to be what Trump and Netanyahu like to do best.

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
