    Couldn't give a toss about them: they made their choice to sell their souls for tax breaks.

    I'll be outraged if the Irish government has to spend a single cent on consular assistance to these parasites.

    Mr. Trump boasted about 2.000 hits on Iran yesterday - some of which were on shown on TV. Scary stuff.

    Where are the protestors ? Sheltering from the way over the top onslaught by the expert city flatteners - Israel

    Think of the size of the country club the Donald can build in Iran. The Gaza Riveria "plan" is only in the ha'penny place.

    Someone elsewhere suggesting that this may be all about the annexation of Gaza via a further weakening of Iran.

    Hegesths briefing is like watching a Hollywood "hoorah" movie. All he's short of doing is finishing up by saluting the flag behind him.

    The USA is gone. They will never come back as a credible, trusted nation. They will only stay relevant in the future by force, threats and strong arming their "allies"

    A truly horrible nation

    #MEGA MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN


    Vomit inducing US press conference being shown right now with Secretary of state spewing his pathetic justifications for this latest war - how the fck anyone believes his b0ll0x is beyond me- but you know that Trump and MAGA are always on thin ice when they over explain and come across all gutsy sounding and shouty


    PS- I didnt read the latest posts here before posting this but lovely and reassuring that others had the same negative reaction to the press briefing 👍

    In fairness to trump he didn't start this war to get elected, he started it to distract from him being a pedo.

    Hegseth: "Israel has clear missions as well for which we are grateful. Capable partners are good partners, unlike so many of our traditional allies who wring their hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the use of force ... no stupid rules of engagement."

    Now we have it! The reason Kelly was sued was because he reminded the military not to act on illegal orders. That stuck in Trump's craw, because he knew there would come a time where he wanted the military to do what he wanted, regardless.

    As far as I can see, disregarding rules of engagement is illegal.

    Can't wait for the military to stand up and be counted here, after all, we were told they wouldn't act on an illegal order, right?

    Hegseths latest: The air attack is laser-focused, to destroy the Navy and production sites so they WILL NEVER HAVE nuclear weapons. But….. Don said the Iranians have nuclear weapons.

    How does one attack and destroy production sites capable of producing nuclear weapon technology with destructive capability without a resultant leak of nuclear material [fissionable and otherwise] into the atmosphere and population? Is this another case of the known unknowns and unknown unknowns, a fortune-teller looking into a cloudy glass ball?

    Trump will send an invoice to Kuwait and have the proceeds sent to his new overseas Venz oil account.

    A couple of posters here with that attitude, honestly it's disgusting. Complete bitterness. How dare young people go travel and work abroad. They should be slaves to their home country until they've paid back every cent. Sounds like something north Korea would demand. 🙄🙄

    How anyone in the US military can look and listen to Hesgeth and think "that's my guy, that's my leader" is beyond me. He's like a Ken doll playing as a shite GI Joe.

    They have been shot down many times (2 or 3 in the 91 Gluf War alone), just no F-15 has ever lost an air to air engagement.

    They have rarely been shot down in anger. 2 in total for the Americans.

    The vast vast majority are accidents with some being friendly fire.

    The first Gulf War, 3 were lost, but one was on ground when it was hit.

    I don't mind someone going to the Middle East for a few years to make money. I do have a problem with people not knowing there's a risk and being totally taken in by the superficials.

    Anyway this global turbulence is going to wreck Trump's demand for rate cuts. Inflation in the US was already ticking up again and thanks to this war it will be elevated by the midterms.

    By my calculations, looking at how the Asia qualifiers panned out and FIFA's corruption, I think it highly likely that the UAE would take Iran's spot if Iran had to pull out.

    Yes. Working in the middle east petrostates isn't the same thing as "going abroad to earn a decent living" in a civilised state where you'll have to pay income tax. Those that choose to emigrate there for work are making the concious decison to put their personal enrichment above the basic human rights of others.

    Going to work in a state that engages in slavery, that deprives women and LGBTQ people of their human rights is beyond immoral and, as far as I'm conerned, those parasites can spend their own blood money to escape from the consequences of their own poor decisions.
