"Just because they had a boat that landed there 500 years ago doesn't mean the land is theirs". ( Trump on Denmark's claim over Greenland ). Come on Donnie, just think about what you just said.

Well yes. There is no logic behind thnking Russia is going to seize Greenland, and even less for China taking it.

And trigger Article 5.

Trump ramping up the rhetoric over Greenland, saying if the US doesn't have the island then Russia or China will take it. 1) Greenland is already a member of NATO and therefore covered by Article 5. 2) The US already has treaties permitting the placement of as much military as they want. Owning the island would make no difference. 3) How does he think China are going to sneak up and take it ? 4) Clearly his ambition is nothing whatsoever to do with the potential mineral wealth.

Surely that is "Bazumped" ?

You would think a quick phone call to the Met to see how that "match" went would have been appropriate.

The report used by West Midlands Police to justify the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans was generated by the Microsoft CoPilot AI tool, and referenced an entirely fictitious match between Maccsbi and West Ham.

Brings a whole new perspective to "What came first the chicken or the......"

Indeed. What's the point of having 11 carrier strike groups if you can't use them to threaten blowing stuff up. 😉

Frightened of losing the supply of Shaheed drones

Some people reckon Trump's actions in Venezuela are an attempt to impact oil imports to China. Venezuelan oil accounts for just under 4% of Chinese oil imports, hardly kneecapping Chinese industry.

No, have a proper plan rather than winging it then bailing out when it gets too tough. Remember, Trump has repeatedly said the US is "no longer in the business of regime change". I think Donnie and his drunkard Secretary of Defense have been watching too much of this

As depicted in this documentary ?

Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya,.........there is a pattern. The IRGC won't give up without a fight.

Jessie Buckley in Hamnet.

Followed by insurrection and civil war. We,( the West collectively ), must be prepared for the consequences of any action taken. Today's death toll may be nothing compared to what comes after.

I haven't defended anybody, I asked what else you would want from them.

At last Nic finds an appropriate use for an emoji.

Countries around the World oppress their populations. Other than words, such as his joint statement with France and Germany, what do you expect from Starmer ? Are you as concerned for the people of Myanmar ? The Gaza situation was a military invasion of another territory, literally crushing the civilians living there and their homes, so easier to categorise. Should we invade Iran and repeat the mistakes of previous interventions ?

Surely opposition to a tyrannical Government is exactly what the Second Amendment allows for.

Another civil war on the way ?
