Troop deployments to the Middle East are to protect British territory and assets, and to defend allies. We will not be getting dragged into a wider war and we will certainly not be involved in a ground war. Labour will always defend Britains interests. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

"The war won't end until Putin loses." Anne Applebaum journalist and historian The Atlantic, 2022

This is an intentional harming of the global economy to damage Europe and Asia and maintain global USA primacy. The only reason for the last ‘American Century’ was the destruction of Europe and East Asia in WW2. In order for a new American Century, unified Europe and peaceful Asia must be crippled. Destroy their access to energy, destroy their high tech manufacturing, promote de-energizing, zero growth, etc. This war was initiated to re-structure the global economy and great power relationships. Uranium was the excuse.

For people who say it couldn't be predicted that the Iran war would be this consequential for the global economy, watch this 2012 video of former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski 👇 He predicts what did in fact happen: "[Iran] can hurt us a lot... Can you imagine what the consequences would be for us if [...] Iraq was massively destabilized, if Bahrain was set on fire, if the North-Eastern oil fields in Saudi Arabia were attacked... The consequences, the costs would be cumulative... The global economy would be affected so we're playing with fire here." All of this happened. Which goes to show that the US government has been acutely aware for decades of how globally destructive a war on Iran would be for all of us (including on America itself and on its Gulf allies): when Trump says that “nobody” expected Iran to retaliate by targeting US allies in the region (reuters.com/world/middle-e…), it's a bold-faced lie. So the real question is rather: if you know something will set the world on fire, and you do it anyway, and the consequences unfold exactly as predicted - at what point does the rest of the world stop looking at Washington as a fireman and start reckoning with the fact that they're dealing with an arsonist?

Brzezinski predicted what an attack on Iran would mean for the Gulf and global economy. Everyone predicted the Hormuz fiasco. Trump + Nethanyahu knew the risks. But they didn’t care. The worst negative impacts would be felt by their allies and others- and not by the US or Israel.

Farage thought he was onto a winner with his relationship with Trump But he got close to a President who shows contempt for law, decency and the truth. And a contempt for the UK. It’s now a big problem for Farage. And Reform

“Brexit did deep damage to our economy. And the opportunities to strengthen our security and cut the cost of living are simply too big to ignore. We want to be more ambitious,” says Starmer in response to Trump threat to pull US out of NATO. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

AP reviewed video showing two men (likely Kataib Hezbollah) snatching Shelly Kittleson off the street in Baghdad and throwing her in a car. Her mom told AP: "Journalism is what she wanted to do so bad. I wanted her to come home and not do it, but she said, 'I’m helping people.'"

Fuel prices are rising because of a war @KemiBadenoch and @Nigel_Farage would have dived headfirst into. They were wrong about the war and they’re wrong about the solutions to combat rising energy prices. Here’s why 👇

Housing Sec @SteveReedMP says "If Farage has an ounce of decency, he will sack his housing chief immediately. These disgraceful comments about those who died in the Grenfell Tower fire are beyond the pale & it is completely untenable for Simon Dudley to continue in his position"

On the occasion of Passover, we send our warmest wishes to the Jewish community in Ukraine, Israel, and around the world. This holiday tells a story of the journey from oppression to freedom.

We wish you a happy and peaceful Passover! חג פסח שמח!

We wish all our Jewish friends and supporters a Happy Pesach!
