BREAKING : Massive Global victory for 🇮🇷 Iran as the US admitted to have lost all control of the Hormuz 🤣 🇺🇸 TRUMP at 9 PM — “Iran wanted to close the Hormuz, but we already destroyed their Navy & Airforce” *Exactly 9 hours later* 🇮🇷 IRAN — “The Strait of Hormuz is now fully under our control. Iran Navy shot 3 unauthorised ships today ENTER HORMUZ AT YOUR OWN RISK 🔥 Another humiliation for Trump, yesterday he declared victory and today he has to eat his own words 😭

I challenge any other modern democratic country to prove that their populace is dumber than America's. Y'all can't do it. The election of Trump, especially the second term, cements America as the dumbest modern nation in history.

ANTI-SEMITIC SMEAR CALLED OUT ON THE BBC! @TuckerCarlson to @vicderbyshire 'I've been in the business longer than you and I know what a slur looks like - and you're attempting to call me an anti-Semite in a passive aggressive way.'

An American voice: “Listen up, Trump, and every dumb f... in Washington who still thinks the Strait of Hormuz is some kind of American parking lot. This aint international waters. Never was. Never will be. Under the law of the sea, every coastal country gets twelve nautical miles of its own goddamn territorial water. The narrowest choke point in Hormuz is only twenty one miles wide. That means Iran and Oman own the whole fucking strait from shore to shore. Overlapping. Locked. Closed. No high seas. No open ocean free for all. Iran controls the big islands too, Qeshm, Hormuz, Larak, Abu Musa, the whole chain. You sail through, you are in somebody elses house. Iran never even signed that UNCLOS treaty, so they dont have to play your transit passage game. They say innocent passage and they mean it. You bring guns or you bring trouble, they can say no. America starts wars because it never learned geography in school. They  bomb first, read the map later. Before you drag us into another bloodbath, open a f...ing atlas. The water belongs to the land that touches it. Not to the country that prints the most dollars. Learn it now or bleed for it later.

🇨🇳 Chinese Defense Minister: "Despite its 240 years of history, the United States has only managed to spend 16 years without war." "It has established 800 military bases in more than 80 countries around the world." "The United States is the main actor behind global chaos and the greatest destroyer of peace and regional stability."

Netanyahu ispanya'yı açıkça tehdit ediyor: "Bunun bedelini ödemek üzeresiniz. İspanya İsrail’e karşı durduktan hemen sonra yaşanan elektrik kesintilerini ve gizemli tren kazalarını asla unutmayın.” Ne diyor bu? İspanya içinde terör saldırıları yapacaklarını söylüyor. Dünya bunu böyle not etmeli. Ve İspanya'nın cevabı: "Sizi karalamıyoruz, tanımlıyoruz: Siz soykırımcı ve suçlu bir rejimsiniz. Hepiniz Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi'nin önüne çıkacaksınız."

🇪🇸 Spain Benjamin Netanyahu: “Spain has defamed Israeli soldiers, the most moral army in the world. I have ordered Spain to be excluded from the military coordination center in Kiryat Gat.” Spanish response – Minister Sira Rego: “We are not defaming you; we are describing you as you are.” “You are a system of extermination and crime, and you will all stand before the International Criminal Court.”

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

This is BELT TREATMENT 🔥 🇺🇸 Trump –– I feel that countries like Japan and China don't have courage or will to open the Strait of Hormuz 🇨🇳 CHINA –– 🔥 "The Strait of Hormuz was already open before the war. It was you who created war out of nothing and got it closed for the rest of the world" 😂 No one tolerating nonsense

The US War Machine has never had a problem with the mass killing of Children. Anyone surprised by today's US complicity in the Gazan Genoicide should recall US Secretary of State Madeline Albright Coldly telling us 500,000 dead kids was "Worth it"

@OunkaOnX She would be top of the list to become the first civilian death if she weren't too late to be told. So easy for her to say.....after the event has past.

Talk TV Journalist claims — 'Civilian deaths are a price worth paying' A Talk TV journalist just dehumanized every civilian killed in this war. This’s where we are. Media have become mouthpiece for war criminals

A corrupt Premiership resumes after 3 weeks of international stuff, and I will watch. In just 3 weeks we saw humanity's dark side, its hypocrisy, lack of foresight, stupidity, its ability to kill or maim large numbers of children with high-tech creativity. Prem needs to be good.

@BallouxFrancois This is their normal; I worked with an Israeli company for two years. They have an infinite capacity to irritate and provoke everyone in the vicinity, with their clever-clever BS & underlying insecurity/paranoia brought about by believing they are superior to everyone else.

Over the last week, Israel has been involved in diplomatic spats with Spain, France, Italy, South Korea, Pakistan and Türkei. This seems unsustainable but will only get worse. Global public opinion has largely turned against Israel, and democratic governments eventually have to take into account the views of their populations.

The European strategy for dealing with Trump is now basically the same as dealing with a drunken gobshite at the pub. Don't bother arguing. Just pick up your pint, move to another table and get on with your evening, comfortable in the knowledge he'll either piss himself and pass out or get barred.

@VeryBrexitProbs Fair point, but what about the creepy-crawlies lying under the gobshite? The mango Mussolini is not alone but has friends who keep buying his drink.
