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

Jesus would have said "Not in my name."

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth led a Christian worship service at the Pentagon, praying for military success against adversaries and using specific Christian rhetoric.
During the service, Hegseth read a prayer he attributed to a military chaplain, stating, "Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation. Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy."
His evangelical rhetoric, including calls to pray "in the name of Jesus Christ," has drawn scrutiny from historians and advocacy groups, who question its implications for a nation with no established religion.

Your deny and deflect tactics just don't cut it anymore mon ami. The UK papers are not reporting on this absurdity but every other sane nation that does not have an Israeli genocide denier has Prime Minister is.

You and your Christian Evangelists of the Far Right are seriously doing my napper in.

I attend lots of meetings with Christian Democratic Socialists and I'm pretty certain Jesus would not be promoting genocide and killing in His name.

You are so silly sometimes mon ami, being a Lefty you should be aware just where torture victims end up. Did Uncle Joe Stalin hand his victims over to the Red Cross, did Chairman Mao, did Pol Pot, did the IRA ? Of course not, they ended up where all torture victims end up, six foot underground.

What sort of fecking clowns are trying to run with a ludicrous story like that, a man of your experience should have nowt to do with it. Get a grip mon ami.

More help for Israel. Uganda offers to take Tehran, says it's military could take Tehran inside 72 hours, no need for bombing. Apart from China, Russia and our very own BT, is anybody on the side of what's left of the Mad Mullahs ?

Hey up CiB, what's going on over there ?

"THE HUNGARY GAMES"

"Hungary’s ruling party has been accused of mass voter intimidation in a new film, released two weeks before the country’s parliamentary elections. The Price of the Vote documentary, which aired yesterday on YouTube and in a Budapest cinema, chronicles a six-month investigation into Viktor Orban’s governing Fidesz party. It cites mayors, former election officials and a police officer who claim voters have been offered large sums of money and illegal drugs to vote for Fidesz in 53 of Hungary’s 106 constituencies. Recent polls suggest that Orban’s party is trailing the centre-right opposition party Tisza after 16 years in power. Clearly not the best time, then, for bad publicity."

BREAKING NEWS: German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier TORCHES Trump for the “disastrous mistake” of launching an illegal and bloody war against Iran.
The entire world is standing up to MAGA now…
“This war violates international law. There is little doubt that, in any case, the justification of an imminent attack on the U.S. does not hold water,” stated Steinmeier to a group of German diplomats in Berlin.
We know now for a fact that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States. Trump’s own National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent admitted as much when he resigned from his position in protest of the war. Kent also revealed that Trump launched the war on behalf of Israel in a profound betrayal of American interests.
“This war is also — and please bear with me when I say this, as someone directly involved — a politically disastrous mistake,” Steinmeier continued. “And that’s what frustrates me the most. A truly avoidable, unnecessary war, if its goal was to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.”
The German president wasn’t done there though, and took time to rip into Trump’s deranged saber-rattling towards Greenland and his unprecedented undermining of the NATO alliance.
“Just as I believe there will be no going back to the way things were before February 24, 2022 in our relationship with Russia, so I believe there will be no going back to the way things were before January 20, 2025 in transatlantic relations,” Steinmeier said, referring to Trump’s inauguration. “The rupture is too deep.”
Politico noted that while Steinmeier’s role in German politics is “largely ceremonial,” his incredibly blunt criticisms will “likely” apply “additional pressure” on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to speak out forcefully.
Steinmeier also called on Germany to make itself independently strong outside of its reliance on the United States since America is no longer a reliable partner. He said that the German military “must become the backbone of conventional defense in Europe.”
“In the technological sphere, our dependence on the U.S. is even greater. This makes it all the more important that we do not simply accept this situation,” he added.
Thanks to Trump, America is more isolated, impoverished, and unstable than ever. We have gained nothing from his alienation of our closest allies and it will take decades to fully calculate what we’ve lost.

The IDF got caught on film sinkov. The outrage outside of the UK & the US meant the IDF were caught red-handed. I'm not sure how anyone can justify torturing a baby to prise a confession out of a baby. But you can.

Uganda? FFS grow up.

What's wrong with Uganda ? It's not because they're black is it ? It's not just Jews, you've had trouble with blacks on here before.

I used to deal with an Indian gentleman who had loads of trouble with Idi Amin. Not fond of Ugandans or Jews mon ami, nor the French but I'm partial to Iranians.
