@masuzafi Lies, on top of lies, on top of the early lies following the strike. Would you buy a second hand car from this man? That's what they asked about Richard Nixon and he did much less damage to his country than this man.

@FurkanGozukara As history will attest. So much on his head. And such a day of reckoning is approaching, for the Republican Party which allowed him, a convicted felon and liar, to stand as their Presidential candidate, and those American people who voted for him.

Former UK Ambassador drops a massive truth bomb: Iran was observing the 2015 nuclear deal to the letter. Trump sabotaged it purely on Israeli advice, and the claims that Iran was cheating are absolute lies debunked by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

@RoryStewartUK What a brilliant example to all of his team. And very meaningful for current relations between the UK and Ireland. I am pleased to have lived long enough to witness it.

@UKForcesTracker @HMS_Str_Castle @COMUKMCMFOR @RN_MTXG But it's not a question of political will. It's a question of waiting to see what happens in the next few days, whether the damaged carrier returns to operations and whether POTUS gets tired and looks for real estate in Cuba. This is not a logical situation. It's a madhouse.

If there was political will, the UK could still contribute to an allied MCM effort in the Middle East. The RN could at least in theory, embark some of the new MCM MAS systems onto civilian vessels of opportunity. SD Northern River already at Cyprus.

@NavyLookout @RFATideforce @jr_amon_ceuta Well, there we are. Someone, somewhere knows what to do. The UK now has a balanced Task Group operating in the Med. We wish them good fortune in their mission, presumably to protect British assets in the E Med, and a safe return on completion.

Oh dear. That is very sad if it is true that the fire was caused by the ship's own sabotage. The conditions and morale on board must be beyond anything experienced. To go back into a warfare situation is the worse thing possible.
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86

JUST IN: The US Navy is investigating whether sailors aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford deliberately set fire to their own ship to end the deployment. That is the sentence. Read it again. The $13 billion carrier, the most expensive warship ever built, is now diverting to Souda Naval Base in Crete next week for refueling, repairs, and a formal investigation into the March 12 fire that damaged sections of the vessel and left more than 600 crew without proper sleeping quarters. Kathimerini, one of Greece’s most established daily newspapers, reported the details citing sources with direct knowledge of the planned port call. The investigation explicitly includes the possibility of deliberate sabotage by crewmembers. The Ford has been at sea since June 2025. Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jim Kilby told the Senate Armed Services Committee the deployment will run approximately 11 months, with return to Norfolk not expected until at least May. The crew was told they would be home months ago. They were extended. Then extended again. Then redirected into the largest Middle East military operation since 2003. And now some among them may have decided that fire was the only exit. If confirmed, this would be one of the most serious internal discipline events in the modern US Navy. A crew sabotaging its own vessel in a war zone does not happen because of poor food or bad weather. It happens when the institution has pushed human endurance past the point where the mission feels survivable. Eleven months at sea. Iranian drones striking Gulf airports daily. Eleven Reapers shot down in seventeen days. Gulf states pressing Washington not to stop but to escalate. No rotation ship. No relief force. No ceasefire on any horizon. And the carrier that embodies forward American naval power is pulling into a Greek port because 600 of its sailors have nowhere to sleep. The Crete diversion is the signal the market should be reading. The Ford is the only US carrier in the Gulf theatre. When it pulls into Souda, the sustained naval posture that was supposed to backstop convoy escorts, deter Iranian mining operations, and project power through the spring planting season temporarily loses its centrepiece. Repairs take days at minimum. Investigation takes longer. Every day the Ford sits in Crete is a day the Hormuz permissioned chokepoint operates without the threat of carrier-based air power overhead. After Crete, the Ford is expected to return to Gulf waters. The 11-month deployment timeline holds. But the sabotage investigation tells you something that no deployment order can override: the human beings inside the machine are breaking. The Mosaic Doctrine does not break. Provincial commanders do not file for shore leave. Standing orders do not need sleeping quarters. Mines do not experience morale collapse. The cheapest blockade in modern history runs on sealed packets and radio handsets while the most expensive warship in human history diverts to port because its own crew may have tried to burn their way home. The fertiliser trapped behind the permissioned strait does not care whether the Ford is in the Gulf or in Crete. The planting calendar does not pause for a sabotage investigation. And the 31 autonomous IRGC commands running the chokepoint do not need a $13 billion aircraft carrier to feel tired before they do. They were designed never to feel anything at all.

The French general is absolutely right.
Occupy Democrats@OccupyDemocrats

BREAKING: French General Michel Yakovleff HUMILIATES Trump for begging Europe to get involved in his Iran War, says that it would be like "buying cheap tickets for the Titanic" after it hit the iceberg. This is beyond brutal... "We have five reasons to say no to him, in fact," said Yakovleff. "So, the first one is that he didn't understand that if he wants to carry out a NATO operation, NATO has to take command. So, there will be an American general, but it's a single operation." “You can’t have an American operation where they’re bombing whatever they can and then below that, the Europeans doing something else,” Yakovleff said. “No, no, no, it has to be one sole operation, under a NATO flag. I don’t think he understood that.” Yakovleff served as a three general in the French Army, was commander of the French Foreign Legion, and served in top positions in NATO. He's a highly respected military expert in France and regularly weighs in on issues of international importance. Trump has been pleading with allied nations to get involved in his Iran fiasco. Iranian missiles and drones have made it impossible for oil tankers to obtain insurance to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's petroleum normally passes. Oil prices are skyrocketing. So far, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have refused Trump's request. General Yakovleff went on to point out that Trump's strategic goals, beyond forcing open the strait, are vague and undefined. If NATO nations were even going to consider involvement, they would need the United States to explain explicitly in writing what the goals are. "And it's not tweets, and it's not things that change every two minutes. So, already there, it's going to be necessary for Trump himself to know what he wants," said the general. He said that there's also the issue of the lack of "confidence" in Trump. It's well-known that he regularly abandons his allies and he could do so here immediately after other nations got involved. “He would let us down whenever it suited him," said Yakovleff. He ended his tirade by comparing Trump to the captain of the Titanic trying to "sell cheap tickets" for his voyage "after having hit the iceberg." “And the last argument is American: you don’t reinforce failure. I learnt that at the U.S. Army War College. You don’t reinforce failure, you move on, you find something else.” he added. "So, there are a lot of reasons to say no." Please ❤️ and share if you think that the Iran War is a total disaster!

@StevenHallDOP @NavyLookout @Gibdan1 @key2med @jr_amon_ceuta Having worked with the USN in NATO exercises and read the reports of their work in Gulf2 war we lost more servicemen by US activity than Iraqi. I am a Falklands vet. I always said thank goodness the US forces were not with us. The ship has to be on the ball and approach slowly.

@StevenHallDOP @NavyLookout @Gibdan1 @key2med @jr_amon_ceuta Sorry, I have been hacked off for days with so many silly comments about DRAGON's business and progress. This isn't a game. There is no need to rush. I have been posting the daily MoD reports of the RAF work going on in the Gulf ably handling the drones.
