I think that the biggest difference between the Iran war and the Vietnam war is Donald Trump knew how to get himself out of the Vietnam war.

So… can we now agree @ZackPolanski is right about the need for a long-term project to divest from NATO and replace it with a European Defence Agreement as the UK’s main security arrangement? Or do we keep pretending the US would actually come to Europe’s defence these days?

@NicholasTyrone Hmmm, I thought the currently leading left party was actually CALLED the 'Green Party' but I guess I'm mistaken.

It is astounding how pretty much the entire left have given up on climate change as an issue. It was omnipresent for ages, and now it barely features at all in leftist discourse. Sort of makes you wonder if their commitment to it was ever real.

At this rate the Trump administration will release the full unredacted Epstein files to distract from Iran.

It’s time for @70sBachchan and the rest of the green left to come out of depression. The big winner of this catastrophe is green tech. That’s how you gain shelter from the unstable geopolitics of the oil world. The global switch will now be tidal. The big winner is China, ofc.

Man of character. Stood alone and away from the gang of war mongers PM of Spain Pedro Sanchez 🔥🥰

The US murdered more people than the regimes considered to be the worst in history, and that's only since 1971!!

It’s illegal to be correct if you’re a British pundit.

This is genuinely extraordinary: x.com/MicloutT/statu… Speaking is General Sir Richard Shirreff, NATO's former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe. He says that the UK "should not, in any way, shape or form be involved with the Americans because they are being led by a couple of gung-ho nutters like Trump and Hegseth without a proper strategy and without serious thought about what the end state for this war is." He goes on: "Yet again we have an American president who has gone to war, a war of choice, a war of hubris frankly, without ANY [the emphasis is his] clear idea of how the war ends and without any clear strategy." He predicts that "this thing is going to go south very, very quickly." He highlights in particular just how foolish it was to kill Ayatollah Khamenei: "The idea of assassinating the Ayatollah Khamenei who was not just Iran's head of state but he was the religious symbol for Shiites worldwide. Assassinating him during the month of Ramadan is about as subtle as murdering the Pope on the steps of St Peter's in Holy Week. It will inflame the Shiite world and what you're doing by doing that is probably pushing large numbers of Iranians who might have been reconcilable, who might have thought about rising up, back into the fold of the irreconcilable."

The science on wealth taxes is settled. People opposing it are either protecting their own wealth or letting ideology override evidence. Here is what the research actually says. 🧵👇

We are Labour. We bring sensible, firm, fair solutions to the problems we face - guided by British values.

Maybe I’m becoming desensitised but this hasn’t hit me as much as the photos of malnourished babies in Gaza did.

@campbellclaret How can you live with this level of hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance? 1m Iraqis dead.

He lies so often he doesn’t know the difference any more.

@rcolvile You're acting more dumb than you really are, surely?

A friend points out that the position of the Green Party is somehow that we should legalise all drugs including heroin but also ban nicotine because the corporations.

Grown up educated adults still thinking hegemonic powers drop bombs and incite civil wars out of the goodness of their hearts for humanitarian reasons to save people living right next to all the other countries they destroyed frustrate me
