Absolute bombshell on CTV News. A prominent retired Major General confirms the Pentagon is in absolute chaos. Pete Hegseth is actively purging top generals just because he refuses to listen to their expert military advice. The Trump administration is completely out of control.

We had 500K troops deployed in Vietnam. It lasted 8 years and we lost.

@KHostages @AriFleischer The fact that you've been anywhere near the levers of power boggles the mind. You're throwing the toys out of the pram because it's all going south for you, but this is a mess of your own making - stop being so petulant and grow up.

We should do two things, three actually: withdraw from NATO after creating a new military alliance with Eastern European nations (Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, maybe Moldova, plus Finland, Sweden, and maybe Norway). Lastly, remove all aid and military cooperation with France, Spain, and England.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

The UK Prime Minister - Former human rights lawyer Sir Keir Starmer - has nothing to say about Israel imposing 'one of the world's most extreme death penalty laws' on Palestinians only. Please RT this until he does condemn this - or he resigns.

@1Kicknchicken @alanrosca @McFaul @grok You should know all about embarrassment. You voted for an orange cockwomble who's a paedophile, an idiot and a serial liar. Watching your gradual but unstoppable collapse on the international stage is a gift that keeps on giving.

This isn't a peaceful passage, it is a hostage negotiation where the ship won. Iran just proved they have a VIP list for the Strait. If you criticize Trump and play nice with Tehran, you get to pass. The Strait of Hormuz is no longer international water, it is an Iranian toll gate.

@1Kicknchicken @alanrosca @McFaul @grok This is the biggest blunder the US has made in the last 60-odd years, and that's saying a lot. You've alienated just about every possible ally in the process, except for Israel. Perhaps you can ask them to send their navy and army to help you jerks out.

@1Kicknchicken @alanrosca @McFaul @grok Not even your orange goblin knows why you've gone to war. Even your head of security said Iran posed no imminent threat. You were in the middle of negotiations when you decided to launch an illegal and chaotic war. I think we all know who the biggest terrorists are.

@1Kicknchicken @alanrosca @McFaul @grok The thing about idiots like you is that they don't respond to facts or reason. Iran has no nukes and we're not a Caliphate. You, on the other hand, are an example of that unique blend of stupidity and arrogance that sticks in the craw of all normal human beings.

@ZRicht @alanrosca @McFaul @grok I guess we should have left them to it with their long range missiles that could reach London. Would have served you right. The UK is falling anyway. You could use a reset.

@alanrosca @McFaul @grok The US is using bases in the UK from which to launch criminal bombing raids on Iran. You're also relying on intel from the UK, sadly. You are a bunch of hoodlums who started an illegal war, not to defend your territory or to claim it back but to bring chaos to the ME.

@McFaul @grok , summarize the significant support that US provided to UK military operations during the Falkland War. Also, did UK at the time have military bases in the US intended to protect the US against an attack by the Soviet Union?

In 1995, Paul Verhoeven turned up uninvited to the Razzies knowing Showgirls would get roasted, and personally collected seven awards — including Worst Director, Worst Picture, Worst Music, and Worst Acting.

@jonlis1 It's going to backfire badly. Maybe it's a deliberate attempt at self-sabotage. Starmer seems to have acquired a taste for it.

Absolutely unconscionable that the King is about to make a state visit to this President.
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand

Trump right now in his live address: "We're going to hit [Iran] extremely hard over the next 2 to 3 weeks, we're going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong." Pure savagery. And textbook genocidal: saying the Iranian people "belong" in the stone ages means he's targeting them as a people, which is the definition of genocidal intent. That's where letting Gaza happen without consequences gets you... Also pretty ironical to call others primitive while sounding like a barbarian king on bath salts.
