@Ryder56004614 Correction needed here… what’s with the use of “look like” you would have more characters left of you used the present tense of the verb to be!

Can somebody please tell this idiot that it isn’t an “excursion” it’s an “incursion”.
He keeps saying excursion over and over, because not one of his fawning lickspittles have the guts to tell him he’s making himself look like an illiterate fucking idiot.

@HuffPost What has Federal Law got to do with anything Trump does? It’s only remaining purpose is for Trump to show contempt for it

It is important to understand the logic of Europeans when they say “no” to Trump, who is trying to convince them that the war in Iran is their war. Former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe Michel Yakovleff explains: Five reasons to say “no”: First. If this is a NATO operation, then it must truly be a NATO operation — unified, with a single command, clear logic, and where “everyone does their part.” Second. Allies are not a backup dance crew. If you want to involve the Alliance, put a clear strategy and end goal on the table. Not improvisation or statements that change every five minutes — but an actual strategy. Third. This is not about ships or soldiers. Not even about mine-clearing vessels. It is about political risk that someone is trying to simply spread across allies. Fourth. Trust. If you have already abandoned partners before, as happened with Afghanistan, why should this time be any different? Fifth. The strongest metaphor: “This is not the time to buy cheap tickets for the Titanic.” And one more important point that is implied between the lines: you cannot reinforce failure. This, by the way, is a very American kind of logic. The conclusion is simple and somewhat obvious: the world is increasingly unwilling to adapt to Trump’s chaotic decisions. And respect cannot be demanded — it is either earned or it isn’t.

@Leonard73714140 Slight difference is that the US were involved from the start not when the wheels started coming off the wagon. And oh by the way that excursion was defensive not offensive in nature.

@WeeBoycie1 @welovedonegal Stanorlar was a market town in days gone by. All of these towns were required by law to have a pound. They are not unique to Co.Donegal but it had the most of them after Kerry. Lifford, Ballyshannon, Letterkenny, Raphoe, are other with a townland Poundtown in Dunlewy
English
@RobRowlette @welovedonegal That’s so interesting-we would refer to that part of the road as the top of Millbrae, and ‘The Pound’ is the wee park next to the Health Centre; there’s a reason why it was labelled as such on the map, but we just don’t call it that. Every day is a learning day.

🚨🚨🚨 ISRAEL JUST MADE THE SINGLE MOST DANGEROUS MILITARY DECISION OF THE ENTIRE WAR. AND NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨🚨🚨
Israel and the U.S. struck South Pars — the LARGEST gas field on the planet. But here's what they either didn't know or didn't care about: South Pars is jointly managed by Iran AND Qatar. They didn't just attack Iran. They attacked the energy backbone of their OWN Gulf allies.
Let that sink in.
💀 The IRGC just declared ALL major energy facilities across the entire GCC as "direct and legitimate targets" — and warned strikes are coming in the "COMING HOURS."
💀 Listed targets: Qatar's LNG complex, Saudi Aramco facilities, UAE oil terminals — EVERYTHING.
💀 Saudi Aramco has already EVACUATED workers from the SAMREF refinery in Yanbu. They're not waiting. They KNOW what's coming.
💀 Iranian hackers have ALREADY hit Aramco's digital systems — posting images and issuing threats to PARALYZE their infrastructure.
💀 Multiple EXPLOSIONS just heard in Riyadh — confirmed by Reuters, AFP, and AP. Sirens sounding in the Saudi capital.
Do you understand the scale of what's happening?
⚠️ Qatar's LNG complex is the LARGEST on Earth. It supplies 30% of the world's liquefied natural gas. If Iran hits it — Europe's heating supply DISAPPEARS overnight. Not in months. OVERNIGHT.
⚠️ Saudi Aramco is the most valuable company on the PLANET — worth $1,800,000,000,000. Its refineries process 12 MILLION barrels per day. One successful strike takes 10% of the world's oil OFFLINE.
⚠️ In 2019, a SINGLE drone attack on Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq facility knocked out 5.7 million barrels per day and sent oil up 15% in ONE session. Iran now has 10x the motivation and NOTHING left to lose.
They're showing you "precision strikes on Iranian targets."
They're NOT showing you that those strikes just gave Iran the JUSTIFICATION to destroy every oil facility from Qatar to Saudi Arabia to the UAE.
Here's the logic — follow it carefully:
→ You bomb a gas field that's JOINTLY OWNED with Qatar
→ Qatar — your own Gulf ally — publicly condemns you
→ Iran uses the attack as justification to target ALL Gulf energy
→ IRGC formally declares Gulf facilities as "legitimate targets"
→ Aramco starts EVACUATING refineries
→ Explosions hit RIYADH
→ You didn't weaken Iran. You gave them the excuse to burn down the ENTIRE Gulf's economy.
If this was a "strategic victory," why is Aramco evacuating workers RIGHT NOW?
If Iran's military is "degraded," why are 6 Gulf nations scrambling to protect their oil fields from an attack they believe is IMMINENT?
Complete silence.
You don't evacuate the world's most valuable company unless you KNOW what's coming. The IRGC said "coming hours." Not days. Not weeks. HOURS. And every Gulf state just went from spectator to TARGET.
This is no longer a war between the U.S. and Iran. This is a war that's about to ERASE the Gulf's entire energy infrastructure — the infrastructure that powers HALF the planet.
Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨
They don't want you seeing this. Follow + RT to beat the algorithm. 🚨

@WeeBoycie1 @welovedonegal Be 5hat as it may it was known as such and there is commemorated in the current day historical park. I only heard about the name when I worked there back in the 80’s but not much since

@RobRowlette @welovedonegal 😆 You’ll be looking a while, I’d say 😅
I never call it Pound Street, don’t think anyone else does either, must ask other locals. Just because it’s on Google Maps, doesn’t mean it’s true 😉 x

@Microinteracti1 Sounds like a fit of pique by Trump having been rebuffed in his plea for help to open the straits. As these latest attacks are going to hurt Europe by design is Trump opening up yet another front?
English
Day 19. Not an escalation. A war.
Israel struck South Pars on Wednesday, hitting Iran’s largest natural gas processing facility in Bushehr province. The strike was coordinated with and approved by the Trump administration, according to senior Israeli officials. Trump had previously blocked strikes on oil infrastructure. He signed off on this one.
Brent crude rose to around $106 a barrel on the news, up more than 40% since the war began on February 28, when the US and Israel launched the opening strikes on Iran.
The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively shut down for 19 days. Gulf producers have slashed output. Iran has been hitting neighbors with missiles and drones every day since. On Wednesday alone, the UAE intercepted 13 ballistic missiles and 27 drones. Since the war started, its air defenses have knocked down 327 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,699 drones. Iran is now threatening to target energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
In Lebanon, Israeli strikes have killed 912 people, wounded 2,221, and displaced more than one million, roughly one in five Lebanese. In Iran, more than 1,300 are dead. At least 13 American soldiers have been killed.
Calling this a “chain reaction” or a “dangerous escalation” misses where we actually are. This is not a region on the brink. It is a region already over it. The brink was three weeks ago.
There is no off-ramp in sight.
