@mattunc2003 @Osinttechnical If only the right-wing Tory government hadn’t sold it all…

@Osinttechnical If only there was a vast reservoir of petroleum just off the shore of the northern stretches of the UK that could have been maximally exploited and allowed to domestically flourish.

Britain is examining plans to ration petrol and diesel supplies at the pump if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for an extended period -The Times
The plans include purchase caps and designating certain stations to only serve emergency and critical service vehicles.

@RnaudBertrand Not the smartest move from Iran, since all those currently anti-war European countries will now be looking at this map, seeing themselves in range, and potentially reconsidering their stance of non-involvement.
English
Iran seems to be following a strategy of unveiling more and more impressive military capabilities as the war goes on.
They just fired long-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, one of the most strategically significant U.S. military bases in the world (hosting B-52 bombers, nuclear subs, etc.), nearly 5,000km away from them in the middle of the Indian ocean 👇.
Diego Garcia has never been hit before in any war in its 5 decades of existence, and no-one knew Iran had these types of capabilities (Iran themselves said their ballistic missile range was limited to 2,000 kilometers).
Two days ago, they also took down an "unkillable" F-35 fifth-generation fighter jet, something which has never happened before (militarywatchmagazine.com/article/footag…).
They've also managed to take control of the world's most strategic oil chokepoint, and have proven they can hit any strategic target in the wider Middle-East, even the most protected ones (such as Israel's Haifa oil refinery: aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/19…).
All in all, it sounds almost unbelievable but Iran appears to have a genuine form of escalation dominance over the United States military, with its trillion dollar budget.
In a very real way, it's even more impressive than Vietnam or Afghanistan: those countries resisted a superpower, Iran appears to be competing with one.
It also makes you think: what comes next? And that's exactly what escalation dominance is all about: keep raising the stakes until the other side blinks. It's about making Trump think "wait, I thought I was picking a fight with the skinny kid and turns out he's Bruce Lee."

BREAKING: Iran fired two ballistic missiles at US-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, according to Wall Street Journal report.

@Osinttechnical Any particular reason why the world's largest navy can't sort out the mess they created?

Trump lashes out at Europe and NATO this morning, calling them "cowards" for not assisting the US in opening the Strait of Hormuz.

@HannahIamthest1 If it’s a dodgy looking number, I always answer “hello, detective constable Evans, who’s calling?’ They tend not to ring back after that.
English
I love scam phone calls.
I pretend I’m an old Yorkshire lad, desperate to pay them.
My record’s an hour.
I kept putting them on hold to “check my wallet,” yelling at my cat, and asking if they could speak up because my hearing aid was acting up.
Then I spent 30 minutes reading my card details wrong… real slow.
At one point, I told them my kitchen was on fire
Great fun 😆

@Euan_MacDonald It should never have been a public referendum - far too complex an issue for people to vote on, and an open goal for right-wing disinformation. A stupid, stupid decision from Cameron.

I prefer the image of shooting yourself repeatedly in the foot, as #Brexit wasn’t just an event - it’s an ongoing process of doing continual harm to the UK.
Farrukh@implausibleblog
Finnish President Alexander Stubb, "Brexit was a colossal mistake" "I'm too diplomatic to express exactly what I think about those who promoted Brexit, during the campaign, and those who still think that Brexit is a good thing" "It's not only like shooting yourself in the foot" "It's like amputating your leg without a medical reason for doing it"

Today, Cuba went dark.
Not a neighborhood. Not a city.
THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
10 million people. No power. Right now.
And the U.S. government did this on purpose. 🧵

It would seem this week the PM is Trumps scapegoat. Last week Spains PM. Will be someone else next week.

@FreenBraveStar @jurgen_nauditt We’re already handing Russia without your help. Do keep up.
English
@jurgen_nauditt Ooof. This is not going to age well at all. You’re out of your mind if you think you could handle Russia without the U.S. and frankly Isreal.

Europe doesn't need a test to know that an alliance with Trump's USA is worthless, absolutely worthless.
Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC
Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.
English
@jurgen_nauditt And the alliance with Europe is even less than worthless - it costs a lot of money and consumes a great deal of military resources, and provides virtually no benefit to us. So you're right, Mr. Nauditt - the U.S. should drop Europe like a hot potato (and NATO with it).
English
@droguul @mikethenavyguy Here's an idea - use your own navy to clean up the mess you created.
English
@mikethenavyguy As a former member of the embarassing Royal Navy of today, you should probably take your own advice and sit the fuck down. Your navy used to be the envy of the world. Now it's pathetic. And dont even try to defend the state its fallen to. It's PATHETIC.
English
You're launching attacks from Britain, all your casualties go to a medical centre in Germany. Sit the fuck down. Without allies you have no where to operate from.

@JohnSimpsonNews Tariffs, threats to invade/annex NATO allies, insulting our government and those who died fighting US wars, meddling in our politics, starting an illegal war, the Epstein files - the list is long to avoid toxic Don.
English
A big decision coming soon for Keir Starmer: can Britain really allow the King to pay a state visit to the US when Pres Trump is so publicly insulting to the UK?
English
Carol Vorderman points out corruption around Peter Mandelson, then slams Jeremy Vine when he asks if she regrets helping remove the Tories and bring in Labour
"We now know that just a small part of his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein"
"He would have know that the Epstein files would have contained details of what he has done, which he lied about, including to Starmer"
"Even though Starmer made the wrong decision"
"But this is even more disgraceful because he sold his shares to people who worked with him"
"The company is now bankrupt"
"So everyone who brought the shares from Mandelson has lost all that money"
"And then of course he asked for a £500,000 payoff when he was sacked"
"He shouldn't have got a penny"
Jeremy Vine, "Do you regret pushing the Tories out and bringing Labour in?"
Carol Vorderman, "Don't be daft, the Tories were worse"
"Don't start me on the corruption of the Tories"
Jeremy Vine, "Yeah but no"
Carol Vorderman, "Not yeah but umm"
"The Tories were hugely corrupt"
"And if Reform UK ever get in power, they will be the most corrupt"

@stay_remain It’s not just that they rationalise what he says, they then go on to weaponise it, and use it to denigrate our government and PM. Our media, in particular BBC News, are not fit for purpose.
English
I wish that journalists, commentators & political pundits in the U.K. would stop trying to rationalise the actions & ramblings of Trump. He is clearly senile & unwell. His actions are not normal. He is surrounded by sycophants who badly advise him & don’t question his demands.

Now that we have the vaccines for bacterial meningitis, ideally, it should be possible for everyone to avoid getting meningitis.
I hope the authorities work out very soon how a group of young people were not covered by the vaccines.

@Euan_MacDonald We don't even need future historical reflection, to see how toxic any association with this war would be.
