Neil Hocking

19% of Americans identify as Catholic. Probably not the best midterm recovery strategy to start ranting about the Pope.

@docb787 @rationalaussie I would be skeptical about that. Probably Hesgeth on VPN from the Pentagon with Google Translate set to Farsi.

@Neilho @rationalaussie Because the ones in the country that can get out via VPN and don't have the "white sim cards" were basically begging us to keep bombing them.

For those unfamiliar with Trump's negotiating style, it's called ragebait-maxxing, and gamers have been doing it in call of duty lobbies since '07. You confuse your enemy by screaming profanities at them through the mic until their Mum eventually comes and turns off their Xbox, or they leave the lobby themselves because you've ruined the game. You win a war not because you are the more rational actor, but because you become so irrational that all third parties in close proximity decide the best strategy is simply to exit the field of battle altogether. You cannot negotiate with unstable main characters - look at Kim Jong Un. No one even bothers with that guy because his facade is 'batshit crazy Rocketman that starves his own people.' Trump is taking a leaf out of that playbook and posturing as the modern Oppenheimer / Kim Jung Un the Second.... Why do you think he mentioned that line today about how Kim called Joe Biden mentally retarded? It was a Freudian slip of sorts... He's been thinking about madman Kim. You don't have to actually destroy anything to spook your enemy, you just have to make people believe you probably will. Information warfare. The long-term problem, after he tacos again in about 10 hours, is that no one is coming to turn off the Xbox because no one is incentivised too. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS IMPENDING TACO - RA

@AshWilliam1992 @rationalaussie Probably

@Neilho @rationalaussie You are a nerd

@docb787 @rationalaussie No, why do you ask?

@Neilho @rationalaussie Honest question, do you follow any of the Farsi speaking accounts?

Everyone in the vicinity of London needs to get down to Downing Street and demand Starmer rescinds 🇺🇸 use of 🇬🇧 airforce bases. Right fucking NOW would be great!!!

Trump is warning of widespread war crimes against Iran - and even appears to be threatening the use of what could be nuclear weapons. An incredibly dangerous moment for the whole world. Our government must immediately withdraw all access to UK bases for any US attacks on Iran.

Ed Davey - STOP TRUMP! Zack Polanski - STOP TRUMP! Piers Morgan - STOP TRUMP! Jeremy Corbyn - STOP TRUMP Tucker Carlson - STOP TRUMP Keir Starmer - STOP KANYE WEST!

@Keir_Starmer There's another crazy guy using our country as a platform - and this one's got WMDs. Anything to say about that guy? Anything at all?

Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless. This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism. We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.

I have written to the Prime Minister with Liberal Democrat colleagues to urge him to withdraw or severely limit US access to UK air bases. If Trump is threatening attacks on civilian targets in Iran, Britain cannot allow our bases to be used to commit war crimes.

Dear Mr Starmer, The USA is currently “defensively”bombing schools, hospitals and universities. How will your new policy make any difference? Do you think they will show you a list? Will you have police at Fairford checking flight plans for bombing raids? This is bollocks.

@peterrhague Funniest tweet of the day 🤣 (although, to be fair, nothing much else is a laughing matter)

How is a person supposed to tell if they are having a psychotic break or not these days? Everyone else can see the big rabbit listening to Trump talk about bombing Iran, right?

The names of Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Rubio and Miller will live in perpetual infamy alongside those of the Nazi ringleaders of the Third Reich: Hitler, Goering, Himmler, Von Ribbentrop and Goebbels. The judgment of history will be merciless.

Absolute bombshell. Tucker Carlson publicly urges the US military and Pentagon officials to actively defy Donald Trump and refuse orders if he attempts to launch nuclear weapons against Iran. The administration is completely out of control.

Dear Americans, you have only a few hours to remove your president from office. To the US Army, you only have a few more hours to mutiny. Your deranged president is promising genocide. If you don't stop him you are complicit too.

#C4News "The strait of Hormuz is actually open if you're not part of the war" "The Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, have got ships through" "The idea that the strait of Hormuz is not open is not true" "It is closed if you are supporting the illegal war" "They have hit 30 universities" "They have hit 600 schools" "These are war crimes" "66% of the Iranian diaspora in the USA are against this war" "Iran a couple of 93 million people now has people suffering from toxins because petrochemical plants have been bombed, it is egregious to suggest that people want to be bombed" Well said @sanambna

25TH AMENDMENT!!! Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.

Kick US troops off UK bases NOW.

I commend the outrage shown today by @ZackPolanski @EdwardJDavey and even @piersmorgan about @UKLabour facilitating war crimes. It's just a bit late in the day!!!

The US military has 22 sites in the UK. Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran. This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more. The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.
