If Trump stops the war with Iran's regime in place & in control of the strait, it would clearly be a defeat. Either the blockade would remain or strait would re-open with money flowing to Iran. US would also have abandoned a decades-old commitment to freedom of navigation.

"While telling everyone...one of the reasons that the U.S. needs to fight Iran is the threat of terrorism; how unserious about terrorism are you if you put this team of bozos in charge of defending the homeland against terror attack?" @davidfrum on Trump admin. incompetence.

We are witnessing the arrival of new world power, a new military force and Europe's chief War Democracy - Ukraine. Great powers in the future will need both heavy metal and aircraft carriers but also nimble cheap fast drone and anti drone technology. This is a story of Comfort Democracies, Legacy Powers and War Democracies. Ukraine is now the expert on the latter: UAE, Germany, Saudi Arabia, US, Poland all are turning to Ukraine. As will Britain and France. The future paradigm in Europe will be the Comfort Democracies - the imperial Legacy Powers - Britain and France contributing their nuclear protection; a newly armed Germany creating a new hi tech command; Poland already a formidable military presence - in the spirit of Jan Sobieski; and Ukraine, massive standing army and state of the art tech warfare. A European miitary bloc with potential to stand alone.

I have proof that the evolution of security can be fast – and cheaper than old defense systems. This is an iPad with software that lets us control our security in real time. It’s true. We have these iPads – I have one, my Prime Minister has one, our Minister of Defense, and our top military commanders – they have it. It lets us see the front line in Ukraine, and even every enemy killed – with video proof. Right now, 90% of Russian losses on the front are caused by our drones. That’s why it’s so important to know who has the advantage in drones – and to be fast and strong in defending against them. The iPad also shows every strike in our skies, our sea area, and our long-range strikes against Russia. It gives us real-time control over people’s safety, and our infrastructure and energy sector. And I believe the evolution of security will make it possible for every leader, every defense minister – and even ordinary people – to have tools like this, and with them, a high level of protection of life. Leaders and ministers work for people. And if the leaders have power, it is only because people trust them with their security. With tools like this, people will not only trust – they will be able to see for themselves what is being done for their security. In real time. From my address to the Parliament of the United Kingdom (3/7)

Not only was Mosley never leader of the opposition; the BUF never even had any MPs. Carlson isn't just trying to rehabilitate a Nazi, he's trying to rehabilitate a *failed* Nazi, a man who, for all the noise he generated, was ultimately no more than a footnote to British history.
Helen Lewis@helenlewis

He’s talking about Oswald Mosley, of the British Union of Fascists. The Mosleys so obviously wanted Hitler to win the war that Nancy Mitford informed on his wife—her own sister. The actual wartime opposition leader was Fred Pethick-Lawrence (widower of suffragette Emmeline).

Islamic Republic executed a teenager, a wrestler, on Iranian New Year! To send a message. To break the hearts of Iranians.
Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih

Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.

What might the transition to a new Iran look like? Thoughts from @ShayKhatiri nationalreview.com/magazine/2026/… "An attempt to skip straight to liberal democracy, especially a republican one, would be unwise. ... [B]efore there can be a liberal regime, Iran needs a liberalizing period."

Man, have we seen that phenomenon before. We can’t be too honest about priests sexually abusing young people, because it would be bad for the image of the church. We can’t be too honest about the sexual misconduct of the president, because it would be bad for the party. We can’t be too honest about the out-of-court settlements of the sexual harassment lawsuits of the CEO, because it would be bad for the company and the stock price. Powerful and corrupt men have an ingeniously sinister ability to turn their personal misdeeds into problems too dangerous for their organizations to confront. Through some sort of corruptive alchemy, trying to hold someone accountable for his actions becomes a betrayal of the cause.

This focuses the mind: Iranian agents Charged With Spying and Planning Attack on Bevis Marks, Britain's Oldest Synagogue where my parents were married.... along with other targets that are essential parts of British Jewish life. Terrifying. We can only thank the British secret agencies, MI5 and M16 and anti-terrorism Police, for their wonderful work @MI5_Official @chiefMI6 @metpoliceuk nytimes.com/2026/03/19/wor…
