Politics and football - again.

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.

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.

Just love that AI you lefties, don't you mon ami. It helps enormously when you haven't got single rational thought in your head.

I know that the Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order and his Polish Jewish gimp Netanyahu are a pair of madmen and the world is waking up to the fact.

[sinkov]

Have you ever read 'Catch 22' mon ami ? Same logic applies here, if you want to rid the Middle East of this murderous Islamic cancer, then mad you most certainly are not.

""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."

Of course the Pentagon is making plans for a ground invasion, they're fighting a war and they make plans for all eventualities, and that's what the Pentagon does, it is essentially a Planning Department, it would be remiss of them not to have plans for a ground invasion.

But what they won't be doing is trying to take over the whole country, it's my understanding that any ground invasion would be centred on securing the coastal strip of Hormozgan province, overlooking the straits. I would think Kharg Island wouldn't be on the menu either, not until they can get one of their carriers through the straits and up there anyway.

SCOTT RITTER is a former US Marine Corps Intelligence Officer whose service over a 20-plus-year career included tours of duty in the former Soviet Union implementing arms control agreements, serving on the staff of US Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf during the Gulf War and later as a Chief Weapons Inspector with the UN in Iraq from 1991-98.


I think it is safe to say he knows exactly what he is talking about especially with missiles and the middle east.
I have just watched another video on Telegram of them double tapping civilian buildings in Tehran-a woman filmed her own death when she went to help her neighbour.They know exactly what they are doing and rely on people like yourself to dismiss the truth as some sort of conspiracy.
They bombed a RT film crew in Lebanon who were clearly wearing PRESS clothes and bombed them live on camera but I suppose that was all just propaganda.His shrapnel wounds beg to differ.I mean we cannot have journalists reporting on the atrocities.

Ritter is a fantasist and a disgrace, his account is pure fiction, he hasn't a fecking clue what happened, how could he have, he wasn't there, he wasn't party to any decisions that were made, he's making it up as he goes along.

"Now this cruise missile has a special warhead on it....you see there's fuel on board this cruise missile....there's a lot of unused fuel....you could turn this cruise missile into a fuel air explosive...you could take the unused fuel and vaporise it and create a thermobaric type explosion that would basically kill anyone within it's radius, burn them to death...it did the thermobaric effect which generated a giant fireball incinerating everybody in the target.....A thermal warhead that burned 170 children to death."

Look at the footage and photos from NBC, the missile hits, smoke but no fireball, the two photos at the bottom show a couple of collapsed beams with some charring, no other evidence of a fire at all and no smoke damage in sight. Ritter is a ****, and a dangerous one at that. Not even TDS is an excuse for slop like this.

I'll bet you never came across the aftermath of a Tomahawk missile strike in Nelson though mon ami?
