has the White House been hacked ? 

[steviewevie]

I expect there is some sort of communication behind the scenes.

[MilkyJoe]

There may well be communication behind the scenes but lets not forget that negotiations have been ongoing twice previously and they went in and wiped out the negotiating teams. This could all be hot air whilst they continue pounding Iran and Lebanon for the next 10 days to further weaken and prepare for a ground incursion.

Yeah, well, they thought this was a good opportunity to try and take out the Iranian regime, and thought they could do it by simply dropping some bombs, and obviously chose to ignore the possibility that Iran could retaliate in the way they have. So dumb on so many levels.

If they don't get some sort of deal which means the Strait of Hormuz fully opens again, then what other choice will US have but some sort of land invasion, which would be a massive escalation and god knows how that would go. Could be carnage.

Oil prices seem to be ignoring Trump's bullshit

The issue here is that any further escalation is likely to hit Saudi Arabia pretty hard and I don’t think anybody in the country wants to see that.

All the people who voted for either Trump or Jill Stein are c**ts.

Houthis about to make an announcement. Exciting.

They're joining in! Nice bit of escalation.

[steviewevie]

If Iran has a toll on shipping going through Hormuz after the war that really would be a nice big win for them.

5% of GDP on defence to take part in NATO decision-making:

 

 

[steviewevie]

I think NATO members need to consider like without US support, they are no longer a reliable ally.

These No Kings protests annoy me a bit. All the warnings were there, they shouldn't have voted for the c**t (or voted to stop the c**t winning). f**king pointless having a protest.

How do you know who they voted for ? Some people voting Brexit have realised it’s a sh*t idea people are allowed to change mind and need to as sh*t as it was to start with

They were warned so many times. I have no sympathy for anyone who either didn't vote or voted for a 3rd party. Because we are all paying the price.

[steviewevie]

and tbh I think voting for brexit is a lot more forgivable.

[steviewevie]

I just get annoyed with the parallels of the usual lefty protests and the fact that Trump managed to win a 2nd term after a term gap and despite all the knowledge of who he was and what another Trump term could mean. Just feels like usual lefty/liberal hand wringing self righteous total waste of f**king time. Meanwhile Trump is wreaking havoc...as many said he would, but I guess Kamala Harris wasn't progressive enough or not working class enough or not anti Israel enough yada yada

[philipsteak]

What about the people who did vote for Harris, are they ok to protest?

Yes I will allow that

[steviewevie]

I was actually a bit drunk and emotional when I posted those rants (note to self, stop doing that), and now kind of disagree with myself a bit and it's good to see such large protests whoever they are,  as long as they punish Trump and Republicans in the mid terms (and in two years time).

Oil up to $115...come on, where's that TACO?
