Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

It must be a great day to -day, at least no rockets have been crashing down on us here in northern Israel . Its already 2.30 pm the sun is out, but still very quiet outside, I don't hear birds singing? Can they sense danger? Do they know a rocket will soon come crashing down on us? Will a rocket come suddenly 'crashing down on us very soon. Israel says it has killed 'Iran’s ‘de facto leader’ Ali Larijani, 'Yes but how many more such criminals do they have? Hundreds? Its true , the old saying ,''no rest for the wicked!'' Maybe its payment time, for me as I used to leave a few maidens behind on the dance floor at Mecca dancing halls, yes, Blackburn's and Burnley's. Look I am really sorry guys if I did snap away from you at some of the Mecca dancing halls, those young maidens. Think of it as payback time. for me, its now my destiny. Yes, rockets from those Ayatollahs. Well, at least all, have a nice week ahead.

You can't seriously believe that Trump had any part in the planning of this can you ? The plan to topple the lunatic Iranian regime was formulated by the US and Iranian military planners, the two best and most efficient militaries on the planet. Do you seriously believe that the top generals in the US and Israeli military had not even a vague inkling that closing the Strait was the Iranians ace card, possibly their only card. FFS mon ami, and you're telling me to get real.

The Strait will be open again soon enough, why do you think the USS Tripoli with 2,500 marines is heading in that direction ?

BREAKING: Retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Steve Anderson gives Trump NIGHTMARE news after his top counterterrorism official resigned over the Iran War by predicting many more resignations to come.
The flood gates are about to burst...
"I think that this is absolutely significant," Anderson said of the departure of Joe Kent, the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
"I mean, think about the anguish that he went through to do this, to make this resignation," said Anderson. "This is an insider, this is a MAGA guy through and through. And this is a tremendous blow to President Trump. But it took an incredible amount of political courage for him to make the stand that he has made."
Kent announced his resignation earlier today in a letter to Trump in which he stated that he "cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran." He said that Iran "posed no imminent threat" to the United States and the war was started on behalf of Israel and "its powerful American lobby." He added that he "cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives."
General Anderson made it clear that while he doesn't agree with Kent's broader politics since he's a part of MAGA, he respects his courage.
"I don't agree with his positions. I don't agree with a lot of things he's done in the background, but I respect him for his service to our nation, losing his wife as he did and for his ability to make a political stand here of the highest order," said Anderson. "I'm very, very proud that he has chosen to do this."
Kent is an Army Ranger combat veteran and a former CIA officer who lost his wife to a suicide bombing in Syria.
"And I hope that this leads to other resignations, because this war is not going well," continued Anderson. "It's only getting worse, and I think that Joe Kent, by recognizing that there was no imminent threat, in actually putting that in writing and resigning as he did, is a tremendous, tremendous blow to the Trump administration."
Let's hope that Anderson's wishes come to fruition. More Trump officials need to resign in protest because this war is an historic atrocity. Trump is mass murdering men, women, and children on behalf of a foreign nation in an illegal war that does nothing to make America safer or more prosperous. Remaining silent right now, or continuing to serve this president, constitutes a grave crime.
Please like and share to demand more resignations!

Bedwetters and Pearl-Clutchers. We had them in 1939.

That was an “existential threat” from the very people who tried to kill every Jew on the planet. This is not that.

There once was a man with no plan, he assured us through his fake tan, just you wait, things will be great, just like the casinos I ran.

I am not a huge fan of the Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order, but I will nonetheless have to give him his due.
He has held up a mirror to reveal who amongst us is a hateful, bigoted, self-interested piece of ****.
I find it inconceivable there are so many evil *******s out there stealing my oxygen.

Iran's Air Defence system totally destroyed, Iran's Air Force totally destroyed, Iran's Navy destroyed, over 30 ships sunk, no one seems sure exactly how many, I suppose it's hard to count ships that lie on the ocean bed. The great spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomenei eliminated, numerous others of the Ayatollah's underlings eliminated, the President of Iran wants to resign, but he seems to be having trouble finding anyone to accept his resignation, IRGC command and control centres destroyed, missile and drone launch sites destroyed. Iran's stockpile of ballistic missiles massively reduced, as is their ability to launch what they have left. 300 Basij field officials and commanders killed last night in a wave of overnight strikes.

I could go on for another half hour but I'm bored now, all I can say is that if this what happens when there is no plan, God help Iran if Donald ever comes up with one. And we're nowhere near three weeks in yet.

He has no clue how many drones the Iranians have and he is totally unable to defend the length and breadth of the Strait. Qatar is now in serious peril, the global economy has tanked and air travel will soon be a thing of the past. Sinking a single defenceless Iranian destroyer in the Indian Ocean has only broadened the conflict.

The US/Israeli alliance ensured that Iran could not have an air force just like they have done in Turkey. It's bullying on a grand international scale, make sure the target can't hit back and then bomb the $hit out of them.

The equivalent of nine Hiroshima/Nagasaki atomic bombs have been dropped on Gaza and they don't have any means of air/land or sea defence either.

Trump and Netanyahu make Hitler look rational.

"The equivalent of nine Hiroshima/Nagasaki atomic bombs have been dropped on Gaza and they don't have any means of air/land or sea defence either."

If they didn't continually attack Israel they wouldn't have any need for air/land or sea defences. But rationality doesn't seem to be the strongpoint of Hamas either.

"It's bullying on a grand international scale, make sure the target can't hit back and then bomb the $hit out of them."

Er no, it's called 'war, and how to win them.'

The Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order and his Polish Jewish gimp have caused huge instability in the Middle East and has seriously jeopardised the economies of the Gulf states, which rely on “global sport, tourism, aviation and technology”.

Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz has placed a chokehold on global energy supplies, driving up oil prices to record levels and prompting fears of a global recession. All because Netanyahu forced Trump's little hand.

And still this useless government say no to North sea oil and gas, they prefer to import from the likes of USA and Norway instead. We are missing out on billions in oil tax revenue that would have helped to support UK businesses through an energy crisis and keep people in jobs.

Missiles, interceptions, direct hits, displaced families without homes, and an entire country running to shelters under relentless sirens, none of this kept Israel from ranking among the world’s 10 happiest countries this year.

It's all about the money you receive from Washington Balan. Money buys you everything.

More Money Madness from the White MAGA White House.

The Pentagon is seeking an additional $200bn from Congress to fund the United States-Israel war with Iran, a conflict Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warns has no “timeframe” for ending.
“As far as $200bn, I think that number could move. Obviously, it takes money to kill bad guys,” Hegseth said. “We’re going back to Congress and folks there to ensure that we’re properly funded for what’s been done, for what we may have to do in the future.”

200billion for an enemy, only yesterday Trump claimed to have defeated..
So much for the quick war eh Balan?
Now he wants America to pay for, not only another illegally war but also his Delusional Narcissistic Ego.
Only the Special Kind of Stupid would fall for this kind of Immoral Absurdity..
