Hereโ€™s my prediction

This whole Iran thing will end up being the latest Trump Administration โ€œPump n Dumpโ€ sort of thing

Theyโ€™ll get oil to $125 or $150 a barrel. Shares tank. Then announce a deal has been reached, Strait Of Hormuz re-opens, stocks soar, market manipulators make billions;

Top Trump officials rush to purchase nuclear war-proof bunkers after Iran attack: report Since President Donald Trumpโ€™s unprecedented attack on Iran last week, at least two top Trump administration officials have raced to purchase their own survival shelters designed to withstand an apoca...

A dude in Texas who makes bomb shelters for nuclear war has seen his business skyrocket this week.

But, rather than receiving a formal
invite to meet Trump, Farage was in
fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a
member of the club, according to
multiple people briefed on the matter


They said Farage had hoped he would
be able to catch Trump for a
conversation as the US president was
scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that
evening. However, Trump had a
change in his itinerary and decided to
stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s
drive away


The Reform leader's failure to secure
an audience with the US president
underscores a weakening of ties
between the two populist leaders who
famously formed a close friendship in
the vears before and after the 2016

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

It's almost as if he's making it up as he goes along.

He's not alone though:

Those people who are now criticising Starmer for staying out of this war are the very same people who are critical of Blair for joining the USA in going into Iraq.

Trump canโ€™t expect Europeโ€™s help dealing with Iran while disengaging from Europe and abandoning Ukraine.

You canโ€™t demand European solidarity in the Middle East while leaving us alone against Russian aggression.

It goes both ways

On that note: Swiss Defence Minister Martin Pfister said US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran violate international law - they breach the UN Charterโ€™s ban on the use of force without UN approval or self-defence.

"it is becoming increasingly hard to avoid the conclusion that the Trump administration has embarked on this operation without a plan, and is making it up as it goes along, as if they killed enough of the right people and destroyed enough Iranian assets everything would fall into place"

#BBCLaurak: Keir Starmer was concerned about the legality of Trump's actions

Tory war monger, Penny Mordaunt: "And this is the crux of it, Starmer is more interested in process than outcomes"

Mordaunt literally saying the PM should ignore international law, & LauraK doesn't even qn that position.

Daniel Hannan, a man who has been wrong about *everything* in intl politics since at least 2015, is repeating assertion that the UK govt should ignore international law, & bomb Iran with the American & Israeli fascists.

In 1933, these people would have joined Hitler's Axis powers.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both โ€˜economic migrantsโ€™ *and* โ€˜welfare scroungersโ€™?

The US is losing this war or rather it can't win it. They've already had to lower the sortie rate as Iran strikes their airbases in the region. They are having to bring in a third carrier as a result. And Iran still has a massive aresenal of missiles. The whole thing is a massive clusterfuck.

He's fucking mad. And look at his lackeys behind nodding along as of he's making perfect sense.

Exactly. And Trump canโ€™t cope with Starmerโ€™s probity because it makes it harder to hide his own culpability re the war in Iran.

Note how Trump always comes out with anti UK rhetoric after speaking to, or in this case having dinner with, Farage.

Starmerโ€™s position is entirely consistent with what he wrote about Iraq in 2003, a fact of enormous inconvenience to just about everybody currently criticising it. Happily for them, just like the entire bloody Chilcot Inquiry it is apparently very easy to ignore.
