I flew back from Singapore 10 days ago and the route literally straddled the Iran-Iraq border though stayed firmly on the Iraq side.

Hear, hear.

He’ll get away with it because American political community just love violence for the sake of violence no matter which side of the fence they sit on

We also built our whole post-Iraq foreign policy around non intervention in the Middle East, for very good reason. Now the media narrative is quickly falling into “WHY ARENT WE ATTACKING IRAN” while the so called ‘Reform’ party, the one that suggests the establishment has let the people down, want to go balls into Tehran with no strategic foresight. I hate it.

Women get beheaded in Saudi for ‘adultery’ though right?

Does the hundred windfall not get included?

This is why you don’t elect senile idiots.

Because all of these countries are under the thumb of the US!! The only ones that aren’t or haven’t been are the ones where major interventions have been led (Iraq, Syria, Iran). It’s well and good for us to say “the Iranian government are terrible therefore I’m kinda ok with it”, when next door in Saudi, they’re even worse when it comes to women’s rights, beheadings and implementation of strict sharia law. But because they’re an ally, it’s kinda ok right?? Like these countries aren’t about to sign Abraham accords because they’re zionists that support the Israeli state presence, it’s because if they don’t, they know the long term risk.

It makes me laugh that ‘we shot a drone down with a jet’ is being used by our MOD as some kind of flex. Using air to air missiles for drones is a colossal waste of money. Equally Starmer’s “Iran’s actions are putting British citizens at risk”. Well mate, I wonder why the Iranian government (as evil as they are) are firing missiles at every US base in the Middle East????

Iraq is quite stable these days!

Honestly one of the dumbest most pointless interventions in the history of dumb pointless interventions. You either go balls in and invade, or you do nothing. Instead we’ve been left with this utterly pointless charade.

Was anyone at the members event today with Alfonso, Claude and the new CEO?

Haha the linesman is from Leicester and is 100% a spurs fan! Must’ve killed him putting that flag up.

Who in our squad are we getting a large fee for?? Monga perhaps? Nowhere near enough to cover the issues we have. As for facilities, the training ground is owned by King Power I believe, not the club? Nobody would buy it regardless, it’s a white elephant with insane running costs. It will need to be completely abandoned and left to rot.

Not a foul obviously but was it not offside???

He’s already talking about negotiations, same as Venezuela. Take out the leader and absolutely nothing else changes, so on reflection absolutely nothing changes short or medium term but makes Trump look like a hard man in the interim. Rinse and repeat cycle.

There are many undemocratic regimes all over the world that aren’t toppled because they align with the USA. There also likely won’t be elections in Iran whatever happens, just like in Syria. ‘Democracy’ is just a diversion

Lovely outcome for Hearts. Go win it lads

Couldn’t believe that scoreline? I’m guessing KR had been on the beers all week. It should be a good season. All the traditionally good teams look to have improved over the off season. York have picked up some superb results too.

If you were Hearts, what result would you want? Draw or rangers win probably.

This is the point. Nobody thinks Rowett is a world class manager, but he has a clear track record of stabilising and improving multiple championship clubs. You can’t point to failure anywhere in terms of what we need him from him right now. If he can’t get a tune out of these guys, it is yet another data point that this group is probably pound for pound the worst ever collated in English football in terms of ability and attitude. They are simply vile and disgusting.

Everyone talking about Bolton, Cov, Portsmouth etc. The case we would be most like is Bordeaux.

Ah just seen that, he was just on times radio

It was funny because the presenter didn’t push back and just accepted it like it was a completely normal thing to say.

Ben Wallace, saying that Putin should get the same treatment.
