@cosmopolitanman @OccupyDemocrats I don't envy how hard you have to work to defeat your cognitive dissonance & make this shitshow sound like a) there is any kind of plan and b) it's working out well for the USA. This is going to be the biggest US military humiliation since Vietnam, and may yet eclipse even that.

@OccupyDemocrats Humiliation i don’t think so 😉 he has exposed who his real allies are. US doesn’t need EUROPE countries to act.

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!

@theweeflea @abigailinthedel @implausibleblog Pros? Where? Unless you count having a blue passport as a major triumph.

There are pros and cons for Brexit. Don't assume that 'uneducated' (ie...unindoctrinated) people did not think for themselves and did not have good reasons for voting for Brexit. The elites largely loved the EU - which is not surprising given that it is a corporatist elitist body.

Rosalie Chapman's call to rejoin the EU is a must watch - one of the best speeches by a young person 👏 "Years ago, the people of this country made a choice" "A choice that has left us isolated, diminished and weaker than before" "To those who voted leave, I say this. You were lied to" "Not just misled, not just misinformed. Lied to" "Do not forget the promises emblazoned on buses and broadcast in campaign ads" "Promises of £350 million a week for the NHS" "Promises of trade deals so plentiful they'd fall in our laps" "Promises of an economy unshackled from EU bureaucracy" "Promises of falling migration, promises of sovereignty restored, and promises that Britain would reclaim its place as a leader on the world stage" "Every single one of those promises was broken" "And today we bear that cost" "They will tell you that this country was broken and they fought to fix it" "The reality is they broke it and now we have to fix it" "If you voted to regain sovereignty, instead, you got borders that have never been more porous" "If you voted to cut migration, instead you have a doubling of net migration since 2016" "If you voted for 350 million pounds a week for the NHS, instead you have an NHS in crisis, understaffed, underfunded and overwhelmed" "Ambulance wait times, the longest on record" "Cancer care, the longest on record" "If you voted for bold new trade deals, instead, you got five new trade deals, dwarfed in scale by the unparalleled access we once enjoyed with the European single market" "If you voted for a trade revolution, instead, you got a trade collapse" "If you voted for a booming economy, instead, exports have plummeted, small businesses are suffocating in paperwork and industries like fishing, once the poster child of Brexit, are being decimated by domestic tariffs and quotas" "If you voted for a Great Britain, you were left with a little Britain" "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not sovereignty, this is not controlled, this is not opportunity" "Let's call it what it is, a total national tragedy" "By 2035, Brexit is predicted to have cost the UK 300 billion pounds" "That is not a distant abstraction. It is a fiscal black hole that will impact every community, every classroom, every hospital bed in this country" "The pound has plummeted, our exports have fallen by 15% and foreign investment is slipping through our fingers" "40,000 jobs in London lost" "2 million jobs nationwide lost" "These are mere statistics. Until it's you" "They say that Brexit hasn't changed much, but tell that to the single mother in Manchester skipping meals to feed her children, as the average person is 2,000 pounds worse off than each year" "Tell that to the small business owner in Birmingham, a steel parts manufacturer struggling to survive" "After losing European clients and facing regulatory chaos that has crushed his trade" "Tell that to the cancer patient in Bristol whose life saving treatments has been delayed because the NHS is short of 4,000 European doctors" "And tell that to the young graduate in Liverpool stuck in a dead end job because opportunities to work, study and live abroad evaporated" "These aren't just numbers, they are lives disrupted, dreams deferred and futures stolen" "Brexit has robbed a generation of its future" "My generation" "Your generation" "Our generation" "The Erasmus scheme scrapped" "Horizon Europe funding scrapped" "And let us not forget the most personal loss of all our rights as EU citizens" "The fettering of our freedom to live, work and thrive across 27 countries. Gone" "Now we have less rights than no thank you than our parents enjoyed" "And that is atrocious, because this isn't just about economics" "It is about identity" "It is a debate of hearts and a debate of minds" "Brexit has not only shrunk our wallets, it has shrunk our role in the world" "And we have lost a seat at the table. Instead of leading, we are following" "Instead of shaping the global agenda, we are reacting to it" "Instead of being a voice of authority, we are a nation on mute" "Nobody mentions the UK anymore" "We have made ourselves irrelevant. Members" "These are not my words" "They're Sir Richard Dearloves, the former head of MI6, and he could not have put it clearer. Irrelevant" "He could not have put it more alarmingly irrelevant" "And now, Brexit has not just failed, it has been rejected" "Rejected by Brexiteers and rejected by remainers" "Even Marine Le Pen, the firebrand of French Euroscepticism, has given up on Brexit, admitting that leaving the EU is a surefire path to disaster" "And the British people know it too" "Polls after poll tell the same story" "Out of 233 polls conducted in the last three years, 200 and thirty show majority support for rejoining. And here's the most damning fact of all" "Just one constituency, one constituency, one Constituency out of 632 thinks Brexit was the right choice" "I will concede, however, that the EU is no silver bullet that will terminate all our sorrows, or a shining beacon that will fix every mess. No members" "The EU is not perfect and it never was. But it is better" "Better together in trade, as part of the largest economic block in the world" "Better together in science, where collaboration knows no borders" "Better together in security, where unity strengthens our defenses against petty tyrants and expansionist dictators" "And better together in spirit, where shared challenges are met with shared solutions" "This is not the time to cling to the isolationist fantasies of a little Britain" "It is time to live up to the true meaning of our name here in a bold Britain, we embrace our fellow Europeans, rejecting the suffocating confines of xenophobic rhetoric" "Where in a brave Britain, we embrace our global responsibilities and forge alliances that champion unity, we're in a Great Britain" "We are not shackled by the weight of our past, but are propelled by the promise of an open, outward looking future" "So what would this look like? Simple" "There would be another referendum, not necessarily this year, not necessarily in two years, but at some point in our future" "Voters would receive a fact checked information booklet with details about the vote, what it would mean and accompanied by by party positions" "And those who are skeptical, let me say this" "A strong Britain needs a strong Europe, and a strong Europe wants a strong Britain" "So members, if you seek a more prosperous economy, if you seek a more welcoming country, if you seek more personal freedom, reopen your hearts to Europe, members, reach out your arms to Europe, members, unclench your fists to Europe" "Because before long, and no doubt within our lifetimes, the arguments which are being traded tonight will be played out before the country as a whole" "So if there is anyone who doubts Britain's desire to re enter the eu, who still wonders if the dreams of unity are alive in our time, and who questions whether hope can triumph over the bitterness of our past, let tonight be that answer" "I beg you, members, vote to rejoin the European Union" "Thank you"

@theweeflea @BillyJo54848896 @implausibleblog That's not research. That's one person's opinion - and it's full of errors (e.g. massively underestimating the percentage of UK trade with the EU, to name but one). This compares very feebly with the facts being put forward in this speech, which are irrefutable.

@BillyJo54848896 @implausibleblog And yet this is precisely what she does - its typical of the elitist class who think that those who voted for Brexit were dumb schmucks who couldn't work out they were being lied to. Some of us did a little more research than she googled....ie. this theweeflea.com/2016/04/26/eur…

@theweeflea @m0rjc @implausibleblog If Remain won you would be entitled to point out their lies. But Leave won - based on lies. Yes, you were too stupid to see them. I know that must hurt, because unless you really are stupid, you must see how badly it has worked out and that none of the promises were real.

'You were lied to'....you were too stupid to see the lie...I, on the other hand, being a graduate, can see the lies, but you were too stupid to see them. The fact that both sides lied, doesn't impress me...you see...I just know that the EU is good and those who say it is bad are either ignorant or bad....or both...

@theweeflea @implausibleblog Which part of what she said do you think she's got wrong? Perhaps you can fact-check her and let us all know how brilliant Brexit has been for us all based on the facts? After all, only a stupid, ignorant person would disagree with such a well-researched speech without evidence.

@implausibleblog I did......Posh girl tells the peasants that they were stupid, ignorant people who didn't have the understanding she has.....its that arrogance, ignorance and smug superiority which lost you the referendum....have you learned nothing

@alexdunsdon @rustworker @implausibleblog You're the one who's not listening, mate.

@rustworker @implausibleblog eh?? youre not hearing me

@alexdunsdon @implausibleblog So what specifically do you disagree with, Einstein?

thats the kind of surface level comment that sounds good but is bs yes good ideas can come from anywhere yes young people can do amazing things but young people are not wise people have to experience things to truly learn (practice not theory) & they simply havent had the time

@alexdunsdon @implausibleblog That's called an "ad hominem" attack - where you can't argue with the case being put forward so you attack the person saying it. It's the hallmark of a lost argument. Thanks for making your failure so plain.

@implausibleblog i find people who are in / just out of uni to be highly unreliable sources of wisdom

@GitteHagensen @OWS1892 ... for far too long. Probably still is.

@OWS1892 He was obviously breastfed.

Entitled parent: "My son was rejected from state school for being too clever" MG: "Tut, only in Britain" Pair of shit-talking cunts.

@OWS1892 "Trying to explain the reaosns to little 10-year old Emilio, he doesn't fully understand it". Well he's not that clever then, is he? I could explain this to my pet hamster.

@OWS1892 Anyone who thinks a state school would reject a student for "being too clever" has no idea how schools are funded.

@FallingDove44 @I_amMukhtar Begging for an upper-cut. He'd go down like the sack of shit he is.

@I_amMukhtar Lee Anderson is rotten fucking drunk there.

Rupert Lowe posted this on his Facebook.

@PatriciaClaxton @I_amMukhtar @brotherdave6 Evolution passed him by. He's a throwback. Lee Neanderthon.

@I_amMukhtar @brotherdave6 Anderson is a thug, imbecile and a disgrace to evolution.

@starkerstony @I_amMukhtar Regrettably it wasn't a half-ton block of set cement

@I_amMukhtar He flicked a guys hat… someone through cement and a milkshake at Nigel Farage.

@esjesjesj Simultaneously tragic & sickening. I almost feel sorry for Trump, debasing himself, shaming the office of POTUS & stooping so low. And @elonmusk , pitiful loser, unable to relate to ordinary people, sucking up to Trump like a desperate schoolboy. Then I remember they're evil.

This is somehow both the most corrupt and pathetic thing I’ve ever seen.

Gotta love @EE 's "speed guarantee". "If you catch us out for mis-selling your broadband by lying about the speeds you can expect, we'll let you fuck off somewhere else & we won't even charge you a penalty." So generous! How about a 100% refund? Put your money where your mouth is

@sarah_bool Asylum seekers are only "illegal" because the Tories closed all legal routes, and they're only undocumented because the Tories deliberately delayed processing applications. But thanks for the TG article, which shows the appalling state the Tories left the NHS in. #massiveowngoal

Today I asked the Government whether it is fair that undocumented illegal migrants get priority access to NHS services over British taxpayers. (1/2)

@Linicy1 @Lord_Talbot64 They have been prosecuted you knucklehead. What do you think of Yvette Cooper's new measures on child rape and grooming in the Police & Crime Bill? Measures that she & the PM called for 10 years ago but which the Tories ignored? Let me guess - you know nothing about them at all.

@Lord_Talbot64 I truly don’t understand why they would not prosecute the Muslim groomers? What are they hiding???

Meet Jess Phillips, she is the safeguarding minister. She has refused an inquiry into muslim grooming gangs. Can someone tell her she is supposed to be safeguarding children not the gangs.

@Getzhern @DSBatten @elonmusk Do you know why she didn't support a national enquiry? I bet you haven't got a clue. You're just hanging on Musk's every word, oblivious to reality. What about Phillips' past record on child sex crimes? How much do you know about that? About as much as Musk I expect - sweet FA.

@DSBatten the truth can be uncomfortable. This may not be the platform for you. Elon Musk specifically transformed Twitter into X to provide a relevant free-speech platform to speak out against evil, corruption and tyranny. This is clearly what he is intending to do when he makes comments on this platform. People who hold government positions must be publicly held accountable for their actions. I welcome his ferocity as I do not believe pacifism is a virtue

Jess Philips is a rape genocide apologist

@DSBatten @elonmusk Sadly he is not

@elonmusk Using Twitter to express opinions is one thing. Using it to use divisive language and insult people is simply weak leadership and poor role modeling. You're a better man than that Elon.
