Politics and football - again.

Funny that Sinkov-I see the exact opposite as most military analysts do.I see a Narcissistic weak man who is totally and utterly compromised by Israel and who is doing everything the Zionist entity want him to do.He is willing to take the global economy and thousands of American lives in order to save himself whilst fulfilling the dream of a mad man in Tel Aviv.It took Netanyahu 40 years to find a President as vain and as dumb or compromised as Trump who would swallow his lies whilst abandoning his own voters.

1992: Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran can develop nuclear weapons within 3 to 5 years.
1995: Israeli government says Iran will have nuclear weapons by 2000.
1996: Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran has nuclear ambitions.
2002: Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran will have nuclear weapons within a few years.
2009: Netanyahu says Iran poses a major threat to Israel, claiming Iran has nuclear weapons.
2009: Netanyahu tells the UN Iran is close to having nuclear weapons.
2011: Israel claims Iran could have nuclear weapons by 2012.
2012: Netanyahu claims Iran will have nuclear weapons by the end of 2013.
2013: Netanyahu claims Iran is months away from having nuclear weapons. 2015: Netanyahu denounces the Iran Nuclear Deal, claiming they are on the verge of obtaining a nuclear bomb.
2018: Netanyahu claims he has documents revealing Iran has a secret nuclear program.
2020: Israel claims Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons.
2022: Netanyahu claims Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons.
2023: Netanyahu says his number one goal is to stop Iran from having nuclear weapons.
2024: Netanyahu says they are attacking Iran and will do everything they can to stop Iran from having nuclear weapons.
2025: Israel attacks Iran because Israel claims they are on the verge of having nuclear weapons ��

Nobody is safe whilst the mad dog Netanyahu is still around.They have already admitted Turkey is next on their list.
They are an ethno-supremacist fascist regime who have conned you and many others into thinking they are your ally.They hate you and the Americans just as much as the Iranians.

?The Jews, I find are very, very selfish. They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as DP [displaced persons] as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political, neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the underdog.?
Handwritten note by President Harry S. Truman dated July 21, 1947,

I don't disagree with you on much CiB, but I do on this. Sadly we're too far apart to get together over a couple of pints and put the world to rights. Take care.

Trump's obvious "WMD plot" is not working this time. He said after he dropped a billion dollar bunker buster a couple of months ago that the Iranian nuclear threat had been eviscerated.

Why on earth then go and drop a bomb with military precision on a school and kill 170 schoolkids in Tehran?

How on earth can Iran possibly militarily damage or threaten the US?

The Jews are out of control.

They try to avoid civilian casualties if at all possible, I don't know how this happened, but the fact that the IRGC previously occupied the building could have some relevance.

Hamas were holding a news conference, was that it? Or maybe it was because the Minister of War closed down the military intelligence data analysis centre.

This is exactly how it happened:-

Trumps Secretary of War Hegseth is directly responsible.

The guy's a fantasist, I studied photos of the aftermath of the strike, including one that showed an arm sticking out of the rubble. He says the type of missile used would incinerate everyone in the vicinity, There was no sign of any fire, never mind a serious one, in any of the photos taken not long after the strike. And I do have some idea of what a burnt out building looks like, I've pulled enough bodies out of them.

Load of bollox, another TDS case I assume.

I agree Sinkov.As long as I can remember since I have been on this forum you have been right on nearly everything but you could be wrong on this one.Lets agree to disagree.
Just to compound things Parkerball was out in force again today at Craven Cottage.

I could well be wrong CiB, wouldn't be the first time. We'll just have to see how it plays out. Mrs S forgot to get the duck breasts out of the freezer today, so halfway through the 2nd half I had to nip out to Lidl to get some fresh ones, or no tea. On the way my phone pinged, we'd gone 1-0 up, happy days. I was in and out of Lidl in no time at all and on the way back I checked my phone again, we were 2-1 down already. FFS, it's a joke but he surely has to go soon, if Pace doesn't sack him he'll surely walk. There can't be a single Burnley fan who doesn't want to see the back of him now.

"The Pentagon has made detailed preparations for deploying US ground forces into Iran. Senior military commanders have submitted specific requests. Calling for the 82nd Airborne Division, Global Response Force, and Marine Expeditionary Units. Planning includes "where to detain Iranian soldiers if boots hit the ground."

Trump said Thursday “I’m not putting troops anywhere” then immediately added “If I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you.” Shroedingers Donald.

So let's talk geography. Iran is 1,648,000 square kilometres. It is roughly five times the size of Iraq, the country that broke the American military for twenty years, cost $2 trillion, and ended today with NATO's entire contingency forces evacuating. Iran has a population of 90 million, a mountain range that runs the entire length of its western border... the Zagros rising to 4,000 metres, a second range across the north — the Alborz and a central plateau ringed by desert. The terrain was specifically designed by geography to destroy conventional land invasions. Ask every empire that tried.

The US has already spent roughly $1 billion per day on this war. Hegseth and Trump are begging Congress for $200 billion in emergency funding. The administration previously floated a worse case 4-6 week timeline. It’s day 21. Wave 69 from Iran, the Strait is still locked to the West. The USS Ford is in Crete with a "laundry fire" as pretext for retreating to safe waters. And they’re now planning a ground invasion of the largest, most mountainous, most heavily armed nation in the Middle East.

Vietnam was 331,000 square kilometres and no nuclear neighbours. Afghanistan was 652,000 and they lost after 19 years and 4 trillion dollars. Iraq was 438,000 and it never ended. Iran is 1.6 million with Russia to the north, China as its primary trading partner, and a population that just watched America bomb their schools and hospitals for three weeks.

But sure....The 82nd Airborne. That’ll do it.

“No, I’m not putting troops anywhere.” Right, Donald. Very strongly said. Tremendous denial. The best denial. Nobody denies like this president… Nobody.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

Another right wing Christian lunatic alive and kicking in the Ribble Valley eh mon ami?

We are living in a reality show.
"The Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order just gave ERIKA KIRK a seat overseeing the Air Force Academy and told us straight up it was about Christianity, the Constitution's ban on religious tests apparently doesn't apply anymore.
Erika Kirk, now CEO of Turning Point USA following Charlie Kirk's assassination last September, was tapped by Trump to fill the seat her husband held on the Air Force Academy's Board of Visitors, the body that oversees curriculum, discipline, and officer development at the institution that commissions roughly half of the Air Force's new officers each year.
The White House spokesperson said Trump made "the perfect choice," citing Charlie Kirk's "bold Christian faith, defense of the truth, and deep love of country" as if those were r?sum? qualifications. The Constitution explicitly bars religious tests for public office. The White House apparently didn't get the memo.
Her credentials: a political science degree from Arizona State, a Juris Master from Liberty University, and a reportedly ongoing doctorate in Biblical Studies — also from Liberty. Her career path ran through beauty pageants, faith-based speaking circuits, and nonprofit political advocacy. Not exactly the profile of someone equipped to evaluate combat aviation training standards.
And the timing is not accidental. December 2025 meeting minutes show academy leadership briefing the board on progress dismantling DEI initiatives and auditing curriculum and facilities for compliance with Trump's executive orders. Four separate task forces have been stood up to enforce the "Restoring America's Fighting Force" directive.
Critics aren't mincing words. Retired Lt. Col. Rachel Van Landingham, a USAFA graduate and former instructor, warned that Erika Kirk's direct ties to Hegseth's ideological network could turn what's normally an advisory body into a back channel straight to the Secretary of Defense — bypassing normal oversight entirely.
When Kirk was up for an honorary degree from the academy last fall, "several hundred" USAFA graduates and family members objected — and the academy pulled the vote before it happened.
The graduates who bled for this institution don't want this. The White House installed her anyway.
This isn't about honoring a widow. It's about converting the officer corps into a Christian nationalist vanguard — one board seat at a time."

The lunatics really have control of the asylum.
