Fucker is literally saying he'll end a whole civilisation. What the actual fuck are we doing here? I want to scream.

The Americans are in a tight spot though. That constitution is so weak that opposing the president in any way essentially constitutes civil war and the history has taught them that that's a bad thing.
Basically the world has been held hostage by the world's dumbest people. But that's always been the case, we have always been beholden to lazy idiots with enormous wallets.
But hey we may get a space colony out a bit so I suppose it might be worth putting up with them for a bit longer.

There is no such a thing as a defensive strike when you are part of a war of agression

Allowing them to use UK bases is complicit in war crimes.

No, he’s made himself complicit in anything they do.

Starmers team led some 40 nations tin "discussions" with Iran (victim of violence) that included threats of sanctions. I have searched but been unable to find any similar such conversations with the US.
Labour needs to be replaced by the Green party.
