Anyone who thinks Iran will surrender in three days is a bigger moron than Putin.
The length of the conflict will depend largely on the will of the Iranian people. Many Iranians resent their government, but decades of sanctions, memories of intervention and exploitation also created hatred toward US
Theyβll do this smear campaign to every country if they donβt go all in for trumps war. Trump will do something to force NATO to have to join. You watch. This man wants & will not stop until he has his WWIII. I too live in Europe & yes the Trump Admin is a ship of fools thatβs laughed at. Itβs sad,

Today's reminder that securing unconditional surrender from Nazi Germany, a country of 79 million people, took the United States 3 1/2 years, 250,000 deaths in theater, and 46 allies, including the UK and USSR. Iran has 92 million people, and Israel is the only US ally. www.axios.com/2026/03/06/t...
The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.
Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trumpβs eyes.
Wonder why that is?
Amazing that once again the major beneficiary from the US-initiated crisis in the middle east is Putin.

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

What war did Joe Biden start?

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social I know it is worth little with all the other news going on today, but has Hannah Spencer taken her seat in the House yet please?
Just what we need. A massive war launched in the middle east by a man with no plan. Again
Everything about Badenoch can be understood through the fact she sees the world through the lens of her βethnic enemiesβ: a totalising worldview that will always, always, make the people who hold it say and do stupid things.
