It's good she recognised and addressed the problem then.... Kudos Pauline

Yeah, a flag with the Union Jack on it. Hanson is a monarchist, which is about as relevant to Australia as an ash-tray on a motorbike.

Like Trump, she gets her votes from the ignorant. Her net wealth, garnered from appealing to bigotry and racism, is between $3 and $6 million.

Some of that comes from investment properties, while she publicly rails against how expensive housing is. <deleted> hypocrite.

There are many Australians who are yet to grow up.

There is no relationship going forward

We don’t deal with islamist nations like the uk

For the real British being invaded I hope you guys can turn it around but you need a trump to stop the colonization

I don’t think farage is the guy

Rupert Lowe looks like the man

The uk trump? Hope so

That’s the trouble with you lefties you hang around in your echo chambers and got no idea what real people think my Brit buddies hate starmer and think he’s a coward

This is totally different to Blair’s illegal wmd war and you know it starmer is too scared of the Muslims back home currently taking over the uk simple as that Otherwise he’d be playing tough guy again like he did with Ukraine

Weren’t you the guy saying Britain does what America tells it to do? We say jump and you guys say how high? What happened to all tha then Bud? Talking bullcarp again?

You and your right-wing British mates appear to be the ones hanging around in echo chambers.

According to polls, only 8% of UK citizens support British involvement in Iran. 49% think that it was wrong for the US to invade with only 28% supporting the move.

Both the Iraq war and this one were predicated on lies, in this case that the US is under imminent threat.

Saddam and the Iranian mullahs might have been evil but that, in itself, does not give the US the right to wage war against them.

Is that what your British mates told you? Maybe you can supply them with this fact next time you see them: At the last census (2021), 6.5% of the UK population identified themselves as Muslim, so that hardly suggests an Islamic country, does it?

A British Trump is pretty low on the list of things that the UK needs. Even worse would be Rupert Lowe, who appears to be positioning himself as a latter-day Mosley. In comparison with Lowe, Farage looks like Karl Marx.

In the short term, the UK - like the rest of the world - can only hold its' nose, close its' eyes and wish really, really hard that Trump doesn't do any more damage to the world and hope that a saner administration takes office in the US in 2028. In the medium/long term, the UK should repair the bridges burned by the Brexit fiasco and seek closer ties with the EU and the likes of Canada.

I started reading this thread with trepidation - but it's pleasing to see that the comments and the icons ticked, reflect clearly the minority of support for this action both in the USA and the UK populace.

Personally on this front if no other, IMO Starmer has played a blinder! Got it spot on ! I'm happy that Starmer has now allowed the USA to use bases where it helps, (whilst restricting UK action to the defensive atm).

Spot on again "Starmer says special relationship is not 'hanging onto Trump's latest words".

Anyone actually interested in the topic than simply venting their kneejerks, might enjoy this from James O'Brien on LDC https://youtu.be/hs7YzJraI8I

Would be 18 minutes well spent

Really? Is there really a clash or theater? Let the circus go on.

Quote:

The evidence shows unambiguously that the current Iranian regime has a history of cooperating with Western, pro-globalist powers, to the detriment of its own people and to the mutual interest of the political class on both sides – and that MUST call anything and everything they do into question.

Including this war.

We live in an age of fake binaries and “lesser evils”, why wouldn’t that system of thought control be applied to warfare?

We are told to think in simple labels – Muslims vs Christians. Human Rights vs Sharia Law. Democracy vs Theocracy. Regime changers vs national sovereignty. Anti-establishment rebels vs Imperial oil hunters.

But we know from past experience that these simplicities are used to conceal sometimes deep, convoluted and very different realities of convergent interest and obedience to narratives.

And we know that this war has already assisted with some fundamentals of the “great reset” agenda, which is probably the biggest current threat to humanity.

Is that all this war is about? No, probably not. There are probably many narratives being pursued and many interest groups seeking to benefit, and even cynically waged wars can produce chaos and unlooked-for outcomes. We can assume any murdered Iranian leaders didn’t intend to end up dead for example, though it would be naïve to assume the power structure won’t willingly sacrifice even a few of its own sometimes.

Orwell understood the mutual interests of the ruling elites in promoting war, and in controlling its outcome. He understood that the way it’s sold to the “proles” is not the way it’s viewed by those organising and benefitting from it.

Even while this war is warring, Iran is still promoting the Covid lies, still on board with the globalist programs, still working on their own Central Bank Digital Currency, still building their digital identity infrastructure.

We need to remember that and we need to develop a more sophisticated way of understanding – and opposing – the new post-covid war narratives.

We’re not living in 2003 anymore. We know the globalist endgame, and it’s neither American Hegemony nor an Islamic Caliphate. Rather, it is a program of digital control of money, food and travel that limits human freedom.

A program both sides of this war endorse.

UK and Spain get it in the neck, but when Russia passes on intel to Iran about how to kill Americans, it doesn't matter.

The phrase "you say that like it's a bad thing" gained significant popularity in the mid-1990s, with a prominent, widely cited usage appearing in the

1995 filmClueless.
