Politics and football - again.

My son, who is an officer in the RAF, was asked to go to the USA a couple of years ago, in order to give instruction to some USAF officers relating to various things.
He was in a party of 12 officers who flew into Atlanta on a civvy airline and were being picked up by USAF helicopter for onward transmission to their base. On arrival in Atlanta the other 11 sailed through immigration, however, my son was taken away into a room and interrogated because his passport showed that he had been in Afghanistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia and various other places were he had served the UK. In spite of his being in charge of the party he was kept for over one hour before the helicopter pilot came in to insist that he was allowed to complete the journey.
HE was advised that, should he wish to go to the USA in future, even though he could be instructing their armed forces, he should obtain a Visa. That was under Biden's lot so I don't think that he will risk this lot.

I had 10 glorious years of doing business in the US in the 1980s and loved every minute of it.

Why has the Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order dismantled all of their institutions?

The only institution that I know of being dismantled in the US is the Democratic Party.

Maybe California is about to become that glorious right-wing paradise mon am. You'll remember Steve Hilton, Cameron's erstwhile Director of Strategy, he's leading all the polls to become California's next governor. Like I said, the Dems are being dismantled, bit by bit.

Has Trump bombed Iran again yet?

[sinkov]

I neither know, nor care, mon ami. One thing I am sure of though, he's bluffing on the power stations. Of course the Islamist Loons can't be certain, that's the point, but I can assure them, he won't do it.

It looks like we could see a ground invasion of at least part of Iran this week. That, at least, was Donald Trump’s suggestion in a wide-ranging interview with the Financial Times. ‘To be honest with you, my favourite thing is to take the oil in Iran,’ he told the paper. ‘But some stupid people back in the US say, “Why are you doing that?” But they’re stupid people.’


Such a move would almost certainly involve seizing Iran’s main oil export hub Kharg Island – which the US President didn’t rule out. ‘Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,’ he said. ‘It would also mean we had to be there [in Kharg Island] for a while. I don’t think they [Iran] have any defence. We could take it very easily.’
