In the news thread

Have a mate living in UAE, says he is watching missiles flying overhead into Iran. Gnarly.

Member of my family lived in Lebanon. Since the port explosion life has been getting seriously complicated. They finally decided to leave and was due to fly back this weekend to tie up loose ends. I wouldn’t recommend.

I knew i’d find out about ww3 on this forum

Saw this today - if the by-election trends were replicated in the next general election, Labour and the Tories would be almost wiped out and it would be neck and neck between Reform and the Greens.

Obviously Reform want to overhaul the Lords, but has anyone actually questioned Farage on how he expects to get policy through without a single person sitting in the Lords. Case in point assisted dying bill.

A Reform government will be Brexit 2.0. Ignore all advice, plow on regardless. Blame someone else. Repeat.

I hope it’s the end of Trump

3 dead Americans already and it’s not even a week in, but, according to the orange scrotum “that’s the way it is”

First there was Operation Midnight Hammer and now this since Trump came into office, in under a year, so apparently Iran’s plan is to cause as much damage and distraction as possible, while they can, so America will think twice about attacking them every six months.

Kinda makes you wonder not what’s in those missing Epstein files, but what does Israel/Mossad have on Trump that is so damaging that he would be their puppet on this one.

Considering the amount of money and weapons the US gives to Israel, America is literally paying for this one

I’d be surprised if it’s the beginning of the end. The beginning of another middle eastern shit fight perhaps. Something that will cost a lot of people an absolute fortune and end up achieving nothing much at all.

Saw a post congratulating the Board of Peace for collectively starting a war in their second week of existence.

Idiocracy was not a satire.

A few too many Christo-fascists have wormed their way into the higher echelons of the Pentagon.

Very cult like talk but America has history. Following the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush said “God is on our side.” (Bad Religion wrote the song American Jesus taking the piss about him saying God favoured America more than any other country).

aslo…

They keep forgetting to have an excuse ready for why they’ve done this weeks atrocity.

American Jesus is older and about other Bush.

NOFX has the War on Errorism album, Green Day did American Idiot, there was the whole rock against Bush comp, all from that early 00s era.

I might be out of the loop, but I haven’t seen much protest music coming from bands in the Trump age?
