A criminal and terroristic tribe has taken over, or very strongly influences (via mass media, political funding, finance, banking, infiltration into legal systems, pressure groups etc), most Western governments.
Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Syria…when will they learn? Turning it around, though, maybe the ultimate strategy is precisely to create chaos, civil war, banditry, the collapse of state institutions etc in the Middle East. That way, Israel (which of course is in the driving seat, manipulating Trump, the USA, European powers etc either directly or via the global Jewish lobby), does not have to face any organized state on its borders or in the wider region.
Constitutionally unlikely but not completely impossible, given suitable amendments to the U.S. Constitution etc.
“American Caesar”?
Historical film
When I myself first went to Moscow, in May or June of 1993, the city shown in that 4-minute film had already passed into history, the Soviet Union having been officially dissolved in December 1991.
Quite right in the obvious sense, but that diplomat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Lyall_Grant] left out the less-obvious winner— Russia.
Oil price skyrocketing (Russia of course being a major producer), and Putin able to sit back and play the “wise international statesman” role as the USA flounders and is seen as under the control of Israel and its many well-embedded agents and agents of influence in the USA; also, American money and weapons being utilized in the Iran operation, rather than on propping up the Zelensky dictatorship in Ukraine, where the Kiev-regime’s front lines are crumbling.
All the Russians have to do is watch and wait.
The USA has enormous military-destructive power but —unlike a true empire— seems incapable of creating a new and stable geopolitical order (cf. Alexander the Great and later extra-Greece Hellenism, Rome and the Roman Empire, Byzantium, the Ottomans, the Mughals, the British Empire, Napoleon and —had he lived longer and triumphed in the 1940s— Hitler).
Trump remains how I described him in 2016 (when I still had a Twitter account), “a noisily squawking parrot in a gilded cage, surrounded by a phalanx of Jews“.
Translates into a Commons with about 374 Reform UK MPs (strong majority), 65 LibDems (very weak official Opposition), 57 Greens, 55 Cons, 45 SNP, 28 Lab [etc].
Labour’s problem is that it is (correctly) seen by the Muslims especially as a Labour Friends of Israel government, and by most of the white English/British voters as (also) being a party for the “blacks and browns”, and some of the public service workers. The days when Labour was (as the guitarist Brian May commented on TV about 10-15 years ago) “the party of the working man” disappeared (as May also noted) about 25, if not 30 years ago.
Hyperbole from the second tweeter, but many foreign doctors are not much good; that much is true.
Naturally, the UK should be recruiting, training, and employing BRITISH doctors and nurses.
There is the other point, that the foreign NHS imports often bring up to a dozen dependants with them, most of which will be a massive drain on the resources of the state, one way or another.
Good grief. If the UK were to leave NATO, stop being America’s poodle, and became more friendly to Russia, the Russians would sell us whatever we need at cost price.
“…never seen a war launched without clear a political objective… or exit strategy...” Really? Where was that person when the USA and UK attacked Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya?
If that were to happen, “Goodnight Vienna Kiev“, and if any such weapons were to be actually used, goodnight London and Paris too, very likely.
You read it here first…
Both charming, and interesting from the scientific point of view.
Joani Reid MP. Obscure; I do not think I had heard of her before today. According to Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joani_Reid], grand-daughter of the Jimmy Reid who was the leader of the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders “work-in” in the early 1970s. I remember him from the TV news reports at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Reid.
Oh dear…”She is Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism“. In that case, I hope that bad fortune strikes her.

Russia must be loving this…
So nothing to do with missiles etc, just an act of war, thousands of miles from Iran.
As I have been predicting on the blog for a couple of years: the Starmer-stein government pretending to “stop the boats” while, in reality, allowing vast numbers of unwanted blacks and browns to flood into the UK “legally”.
Dan Hodges once again parroting the Israel-lobby line. We need no “defence” against Iran. So what if a crater was made in the ground in Cyprus?
Interesting that Restore Britain, something only just established, is already on 7%. To my mind, that indicates a definite shifting of the “Overton Window” to a more radical position than that taken by Reform UK.
According to Electoral Calculus, that poll would mean a Commons with about 299 Reform MPs (27 short of an overall majority), 110 Greens (official Opposition), 77 Cons, 62 LibDems, 45 SNP, and 30 Lab [etc].
On those figures (once again), Starmer would lose his seat.
