We see a new world order characterized by competition and coercive power politics, featuring military powers, who aim to establish spheres of influence.

How we respond to this moment will define us.

They were actually kidnapped with the help of armored vehicles and under the barrels of machine guns and grenade launchers. WITH (!) their eyes blindfolded.

TRUMPโ€™S PLAN BACKFIRES: Iran's new supreme leader โ€” Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the country's slain ruler โ€” is expected to be more hardline than his father. His ascent to power means the Iranian regime may become even more repressive.

Love that Trump is so dense he doesnโ€™t understand that you canโ€™t just sever trade with Spainโ€ฆ

Why?

Because Spain is in the EU

Call for information as UK โ€˜moves closerโ€™ to agreement with EU on agrifood trade. Independent, 9 March.

The UK Government has issued a call for information to understand how it can support businesses as the UK 'moves closer' to a Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) deal with the EU. This would remove the red tape that has been damaging agrifood trade moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.

As bombs rain down death and destruction, the good news is that Donald Trump still has plenty of time to play golf with his rich mates at Mar-a-Lago.

It will never not fustrate me that the Tories havent faced any consequences for how they systematically underfunded our forces - all while claiming to be a party serious about defense.

And now they want us to get involved in a random, pointless war, shredding what little equipment we have.

So Farage couldnโ€™t gain access to the Chagos Islands last week.

This week he couldnโ€™t gain access to Donald Trump.

What a load of air miles heโ€™s clocked up for his donors.

Farage is a complete waste of space. Canโ€™t organise his own visits let alone run a country.

OTD in 1944 the Red Air Force carpet bombed Tallinn, destroying 20,000 homes & killing 757 people.

Imagine, in 21st century, Russia being run by a madman capable of that.

Russians at the front are saying Ukraine has unleashed not only drone jammers operating at frequencies that disable all their operations, but also now hitting them with drones operating at frequencies over 10,000 MHz which Russian warning detectors can't see.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey has called on the Prime Minister to cancel the King's scheduled state visit to the US in April:

โ€œAt a time when Trump has launched an illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills for British families, itโ€™s clear this visit should not go ahead."

Not Iran, Iraq! this is not the first incident involving American forces in the area

When will American MSM finally admit that the U.S. is in a full-blown war in Iraq??

It doesnโ€™t work like that when:

1) oil infrastructure is blown up

2) the war has already shown the US cannot defend the Gulf states, so shipping risk stays high - pushing up insurance costs too

3) Iran can choke Strait of Hormuz

4) previous wars have seen oil stay high long after war.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on Americaโ€™s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game
