@NomadMission @afneil Have you stopped for a second to acknowledge whom the rest of the world is looking at, in horror, right now? Clue: it ain't Iran.

@therealijn @afneil As I said, if you're feeling that way, please reach out for a glass of perspective.

President Trump threatens to wipe out Iranian civilization if Tehran doesn’t cede to his demands by 8pm New York time (1am London) tonight (Tuesday). “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump writes on his Truth Social platform. Is there anybody, any group capable of staging an intervention in the White House?

@NomadMission @afneil Yup, and you can expect those suicide numbers to escalate as decent, fearful Americans continue to be terrified by the ramping up of hate-filled, violent rhetoric by their crazed leaders. What a sorry mess from this now rogue state.

@therealijn @afneil 😂 You know, we do have suicide helplines, just reach out.

@NomadMission @afneil Well, 40,000 Americans with guns killed each other last year. I know who I'd worry about if I was in USA tonight, and it ain't Iran.

@afneil Britain still thinks 47 years of soft talk made Iran a less dangerous, less terroristic state. 🤦‍♂️

@PoliUnLimited @Acyn

@Acyn This is why we love Trump - this is actual speaking truth to power.

Reporter: Deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure violate the Geneva conventions and international law.  Trump: Who are you with?  Reporter: I'm with the New York Times Trump: Failing New York Times. Circulation is way down. Reporter: Are you concerned that your threat to bomb power plants and bridges amount to war crimes? Trump: No, not at all. These are disturbed people. Quiet. You no longer have credibility. You’re fake.

@SamuelGabrielSG @TimesRadio @afneil

@TimesRadio @afneil Another Brit degrading Americans and America. It’s time to sever relations with the UK. They root for our failure. They are the allies of Iran not the US.

“I don’t think they’re rushing to the peace table just yet.” Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz is “more powerful” than a nuclear bomb, so it’s unlikely they will want to negotiate, especially as Trump continues “floundering”, says Times Radio presenter @afneil.

@bobbysloudmouth @esaagar

@esaagar It's where we are. Fuck NATO. They sit back and expect us to do all their dirty work. South Korea and Japan have been sucking US defense dry for 50 years as well and have done nothing to help when they depend on the Strait being open for their oil.

The most revealing part of the Trump presser was near the end: He trashed not only Europe but Australia, South Korea, and Japan The only real allies in his eyes were the GCC and Israel. Literal inversion of reality

@MBurnsHWA @esaagar The United States of America 'is' globalism, numbnuts. You been living in a cave?

@esaagar Europe and Australia r a complete joke. We should without a doubt get out of NATO as the globalist objectives don't serve the US at any level and we foot the bill. Not sure why he trashed S.Korea and Japan, but the others good riddance. Let's c how he deals w/China

@BathgateThe @GrahamSpiers

@GrahamSpiers The best of it was, nobody gave a shit about your updates then and unsurprisingly your 90% discounted pod casts now.

I cherish my 15-odd springtimes stomping around Augusta National, listening to Jack, Arnie, Greg and Tiger before settling down daily to a Peach Cobbler (sometimes two). I used to send 1200w to The Herald after a weighty lunch on the lawn. Stressful days.

@Rick_G_Warrior @Microinteracti1 40,000 Americans killed each other with guns last year. You even realise how stupid your words are?

@Microinteracti1 Wait, Europeans can't even defend their own women on the streets, being harassed & raped by illegal immigrants. Now, they want to pretend they are strong enough to defend Europe? 😆 You can't make this stuff up...

I am not sure the American military establishment has fully grasped what Trump has actually done here. So let me spell it out in language even a Pentagon procurement officer can understand. Europe has been buying American weapons at a staggering rate. In 2024 alone, US foreign military sales notifications to European countries hit $76 billion. Four times the European average since 2008.  F-35s, missile systems, air defence, ammunition. All of it American. All of it coming with decades of service contracts, maintenance agreements, spare parts, software updates and training programmes worth hundreds of billions more over their operational lifetimes. Between 2020 and 2024, the United States supplied 64 percent of all European weapons imports.  That is now over. Europe has an $860 billion defence plan, and American contractors are being frozen out. The goal is 80 percent of all military purchases from European factories by 2030.  Airbus. Rheinmetall. KNDS. Saab. Leonardo. BAE Systems. They are about to receive the largest order book in the history of European defence industry. Because Trump made it politically impossible for any European government to keep writing cheques to Washington. Some European governments have discussed worries that the Pentagon could remotely disable American F-35 fighters or impose restrictions on how US weapons can be used.  When your supplier is also threatening to annex your allies, that is not paranoia. That is basic procurement logic. Trump set out to make America great again. He has succeeded magnificently. For Rheinmetall. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@CrashOf47 @TheAthleticFC

@TheAthleticFC People mocking him as if he wasn’t proven right about the vaccines and the whole Covid farce 🤦‍♂️ Easier than admitting you were hoodwinked I guess.

Matt Le Tissier has returned to Southampton in an advisory role which will support the club’s board. Le Tissier is expected to work with the club’s football department and contribute to decision-making. The 57-year-old, one of Southampton’s most celebrated players, previously stepped down from his role as club ambassador in 2022 following criticism of his social media activity.

@stevemaybury @C_ENicolson Spot on. Football means everything, and nothing, at the same time.

@C_ENicolson But football is a panto. Cheer the good guys, boo the bad guys. Ridiculous? Yes. Funny? Also yes. Polite applause for a rival boss in a relegation battle would be woke nonsense.

If Stephen Robinson gets booed by St Mirren fans it’ll be a new low in a season of ridiculous overreactions.

@C_ENicolson Hey Eric, don't ever go to a pantomime. You won't like it.

@Record_Sport FFS 😅 He makes Cyril Dessers look like peak Ronaldo.

@chris_croslin1 @DanCollins2011

@DanCollins2011 Better to know now than when it really counts. We're finally moving to an American Empire and they don't like it. The EU thinks it runs the world...they don't! Alberta, Greenland, now moving on South America. That's an entire hemisphere waking up to a new American Empire...

This feels like the first war in my lifetime where literally the whole world wants the U.S to lose. Do we have any friends left?

🚨 JUST IN: French President Emmanuel Macron goes full COWARD MODE, says he wishes President Trump didn't bomb Iran's world-threatening regime "I disagree with them...but I don't believe we fix it by bombing!" "Respect the sovereignty of people." What a clueless clown 🤡🤡

@ClydeSSB Changed days from when big fat DJ told the squad they were a shower of useless bas**rds a couple of months ago.

🔊 LISTEN: “We have the quality to win the league”. 🔵 Rangers head coach Danny Röhl has full belief in his squad as they head into the final seven matches of the Premiership title race ⬇️

@RadioFreeTom There are hundreds of qualified replacements that can step in with about a days worth of transition.

Firing the Army chief of staff in the middle of a war is always a sign that things are going great

@USofStephen @JaCisar Who elected Pete Hesgeth?

@JaCisar He's in power after winning his election, unlike your friend Zelenskyy.

@_JamieMcIntyre CMAL is full of DEI hires. The old experienced Captains don’t make decisions now - its all centralised due to ‘Elf and Safety’

The Central Belt defenders of CalMac have been quick to argue that the current woes are simply the result of unfortunate breakdowns coinciding with scheduled maintenance. They haven't explained why you would sensibly schedule maintenance *at the busiest time of year* (Easter).
