@AimenDean Thanks Aimen. To what extent is the movement of military assets part of negotiations. If they are a significant part of negotiating posture, then hard to know how significant any movements really are?

You will never understand where this war is heading by listening to either side’s rhetoric. You understand it by filtering out the noise and observing the movement of military assets. Deployments don’t lie, narratives do. Rest is theatre for markets, publics, and gullible media.

The Houthi’s Iran War Dilemma
According to @AimenDean, the #Houthi’s have 10 days to make the fateful decision of whether or not to join the Iran War with the risk of destruction by the #US and #Israel

Chessum will have nightmares over this. Could have easily got inside the 15m line.
Clive Woodward's expression of TCUP (Think Clearly Under Pressure) comes to mind.
100 seconds later, they miss the conversion.
Several minutes later.....
France win by TWO POINTS.

The BBC that uncritically regurgitates whatever Israel says and treats it as fact, is suddenly concerned about “verification” when reporting Iranian death tolls.

@JohnOBrennan2 The EU is irrelevant in any of these, irrespective of the statements they issue.
English
The EU should be condemning Israeli and US aggression in the strongest possible terms. Instead we get statements like this, which indirectly link Europe to the slaughter.

The latest developments across the Middle East are perilous. Iran’s regime has killed thousands. Its ballistic missile and nuclear programmes, along with support for terror groups, pose a serious threat to global security. The EU has adopted strong sanctions against Iran and supported diplomatic solutions, including on the nuclear issue. I have spoken to Israel’s Foreign Minister Saar and other ministers in the region. The EU is also coordinating closely with Arab partners to explore diplomatic paths. Protection of civilians and international humanitarian law is a priority. Our consular network is fully engaged in facilitating departures for EU citizens. Non-essential EU personnel are being withdrawn from the region. Our Aspides naval mission remains on high alert in the Red Sea and stands ready to help keep the maritime corridor open.

People excusing this as "rugby" connected.
I did NOT look at that and think "rugby" , I thought MAGA.
This isn't a good look coming from the Royal Family- pretty low.

Lols for Ireland as ever. Literally the best country on the planet on anything that matters.

For the first 12 years of his career, Epstein funded guns that killed Russians & oil deals that bled their revenue. When Cold War ended & Russia Was Good, they did biz. Then Russia Was Bad & he celebrated the 2014 Ukraine coup. Then he helped Israel evade US sanctions on Russia.

So after criticising his team's 'intent' vs France, four players have been dropped entirely by Andy Farrell
Jacob Stockdale
Tommy O'Brien
Cian Prendergast
Josh van der Flier
A very interesting selection with a few others fortunate to still be in the starting XV

A non-French ref might have given a red here
The threshold in the Top 14 clearly a lot higher
Pretty mad that it wasn't even looked at on the big screen

@RnRRugby 100% right. Handbags v repeated technical infringements.

Headbutt is fine. Caught offside at wheeling mauls is two yellows #ENGvWAL

@jones_mog Says a lot about Wales. Awful disciplinary record under Tandy

6 yellow cards in a match that wasn’t dirty, not even competitive

If Jack Crowley played for Leinster, he would be the Irish outhalf, if Sam Prendergast was the Munster outhalf, Leinster fans wouldnt let him carry the water. This is madness #Rugby #IrelandvFrance

@RestPoliticsUS @Scaramucci This is ridiculous. Where is the evidence? Was Donald Barr a Russian spy also. How about Les Wexner. Did the FSB remove all the files from his NY home after he was arrested.

@markbrouwer2010 @Mr_Andrew_Fox I’m British and I’m very proud of our troops who served and other NATO troops. But isn’t Trump saying they’ve never strategically needed NATO troops, albeit worded clumsily. On that point would he not be right.
English
I don’t think the US president will read this post, but I feel obliged to pay tribute to the dozens of Netherlands soldiers who have died in Afghanistan. Even the son of our Chief of Defense was killed in action. Because the Netherlands saw it as its duty to help an ally. Statement after statement is now flying our way across the pond. The falsehood that we were not on the front line calls for a response. As dear as the Americans are to me, nonsense must be countered.
