It should be obvious to all that the US is totally unreliable as a arms supplier as long as Trump remains president.
Everybody therefore has to get other arms suppliers.
Bye-bye, US arms producers! We cannot trust you because of your madman president.

UK Honours.

It's no surprise that Brewdog's James Watt MBE's ex-wife has an OBE.

If you're a 'high achiever', other 'high achievers' help you get here.

If you've no shame and are a master at PR, it's quite erm...'achievable'. I've seen it happen.

The UK Honours system is deeply flawed,

Two months until Scotland decides.

Stay stuck in broken Brexit Britain, or choose the fresh start of independence.

That wealthier, fairer future for Scotland is possible. On May 7, vote SNP to make it a reality.

NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND UNTIL THERE ARE BOOTS ON THE GROUND

Is Trump about to order the 82nd Airborne to seize Kharg Island? The principle export point for Iran’s oil? This would be escalatory madness. Nothing would inspire Iranian militancy more. It would mean massive oil price rises and complicate

SO THE WAR IS NOW OFFICIALLY OUT OF CONTROL

Iranian missile attacks and drone strikes on Azerbaijan.

β€œFor me, the most ironic token of [the first human moon landing] is the plaque signed by President Richard M. Nixon that Apollo 11 took to the moon.

It reads: 'We came in peace for all Mankind.' As the United States was dropping 7 Β½ megatons of conventional explosives on small nations in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity. We would harm no one on a lifeless rock.”
