1/5 Trump’s three main options in Iran are all bad for him 🧵

A year ago I warned that @EssexPoliceUK’s failure to test its facial recognition would spell disaster. Now we know it is inaccurate and biased. but 2.5 million people were scanned by this flawed tech. Deploying 1st, questions later is no way for police to work in a democracy.

Behold, oil prices at $116 per barrel

Maybe Hungary should be part of Russia instead…

@ashlarblocks Yes, all safe ones. And anyone unsure can be certain UA24 is legit.

@AngryExile I tend to report as spam and/or block. I see a lot of potentially worthwhile fundraisers but I only donate through St Javelin, NAFO, or United 24 (the official charity of the President). UA24 allows one to earmark donations, eg, defense, medicine, drones, children etc

I’m not one for encouraging reporting pile ons but here’s an account based in South Asia claiming to be a Ukrainian woman fighting in the war and posting AI images for I’d guess engagement and donations. So do with that info what you think appropriate.

Turns out that Pete Hegseth lied when he said that the families of fallen U.S. soldiers urged him to “keep fighting” and “finish the job“.

Consider this nightmare scenario: Trump keeps at it for few more weeks/months, fails to dislodge IRN regime and works out a deal instead: a partial restoration of shipping & side payments to IRGC. The global economy adjusts, but the Gulf states stay held to ransom by Iran.

BREAKING NBC: Pete Hegseth says 'family after family' of service members killed urged the admin to "not stop until the job is done." But the father of one of those service members says he never said that. "I can't speak for the other families. When he spoke to me, that was not something we talked about." nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

@frontlinekit @ajohna @OlenaRohoza @MykhailoRohoza Can I add this one.

@OlenaRohoza Whilst you are there block this scammer too: @MykhailoRohoza

❗️NAFO @OlenaRohoza is back, and 432 of you, my beautiful followers, follow and probably have donated to this scammer. Please all immediately block her and report her account for diverting funds away from Ukraine 🇺🇦.

@Alichat66 The only downside I can see is it’s somewhere it pisses rain all the time. 🤣

@AngryExile Isn't it just?! And in a lovely country lane location .....

£350,000. This is why living in Northern Ireland is so much better ..... what an adorable old schoolhouse! propertypal.com/killinchy-wood…

All a US president needs to say in this situation is something like “operational reasons”. Any sane president would say that. Biden would’ve said that, even if he’d stuttered a bit. Only Dementia Donny would ramble and bring up fucking Pearl Harbour in front of the Japanese PM.🤦‍♂️

@a_swift_half Jesus Christ. That’s mind boggling. A new low for Dementia Donny.

This is jaw-dropping, even for Trump. >>> Speaking in the Oval Office on Thursday, Mr Trump was asked by a reporter why Japan, a Nato ally, wasn’t made aware of US plans to strike Iran. “You don’t want to signal too much,” Mr Trump said, as Sanae Takaichi, Japan’s prime minister, sat beside him. “We didn’t tell anyone about it because we wanted surprise.” “Who knows better about surprise than Japan?” he added, prompting a few awkward laughs, before saying: “Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/20…

@CarlBovisNature I reckon about 25 years ago, driving late at night in rural Hampshire. Swooped right across the lane.

If you see this photo of a Barn Owl coming at you, please leave a comment! 😊 When did you last see a Barn Owl? 🦉❤️

This took me a second.. 😅

@RioVeradonir @billybinion Agreed. I’m actually one of those rare Brits who’s a republican, though I put actually replacing the monarchy waaaaaay down on the list of priorities for either Australia or the UK. But if/when it happens the replacement should have no more political power than the king does now.

@AngryExile @billybinion Constitutional monarchy has its pros, but Americans have cause to not have one. The mistake we made was making the executive too monarch-like. Even before the powers grew out of control.

Whatever your views, worshiping politicians is cringe, especially when done in pseudo-sexual terms. Please stop.

Ok smartarse, now build a differential out of wood. youtube.com/shorts/7IuM83X…

@RioVeradonir @billybinion No, but if any politician here or in the UK suggested the military should start saluting the PM they’d be ridiculed for it for the rest of their career, and indeed might be best finding a new career. They salute the monarch of course but the monarch is non-political.

@AngryExile @billybinion The military aren’t civilians, but I take your point. I do believe the modern executive has too much power. Indeed much more than the founders intended.
