Iran is also, roughly, three times larger than Ukraine

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

They’ll do this smear campaign to every country if they don’t 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 that’s laughed at. It’s sad,

Who else remembers the good old days when the DOW was above 50,000?

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to β€œtake all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

β€œThe 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

Trump demands "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" from Iran It's the most unambiguous statement of U.S. war aims since the operation began seven days ago.

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 Trump’s 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.

Oil soars amid Strait of Hormuz shipping fears as Iran war drives prices to nearly $80 The conflict in the Middle East has sent oil prices soaring, as Brent Crude hit a new 52-week high on Monday.

There has never been a better reason to accelerate renewables in the UK. Putin is benefiting from higher prices and supply which is why Farage is anti wind and solar

Nigel Farage's Long History of Crying β€˜Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party's election defeats on "cheating" by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found

Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.

The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"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".

Everything about Badenoch can be understood through the fact she sees the world through the lens of her β€œethnic enemies”: a totalising worldview that will always, always, make the people who hold it say and do stupid things.
