What They brought us a cup? I Think you might find that it was Eddie and his well-trained bunch of lads Halt die Klappe auch mate

He's probably seen those pics of Trippier partying and thinks it will be wall to wall clunge

I was speaking relatively. Other than Ukraine and the Middle East, Pakistan and India were flying hundreds of planes at each other about a month ago and who knows how long till China decides to test out it's capabilities on Taiwan. For the most part we've seen proxy wars, insurgencies and terrorism in the last few decades. The US and allies bombing countries that had little ability to defend themselves. We've now got far right nut jobs in charge across the world and whatever semblance of moral, stable US leadership/hegemony is evaporating fast. The thinking clear across so many recent incidents and escalations now is if you want something and think you can get if off the smaller/weaker guy, do it. To hell with international law, UN charters etc.

That Scalvini lad hasn't played at all in 24/25 due to injury.

Aged well.

Evan Ndicka from Roma getting rumoured. Probably just agent chat.

Iran was a fully functioning democracy before the CI A and the UK staged a couple because the democratically elected government voted to renationalise the oil fields that the UK and the US were exploiting. They installed a puppet monarch which lead inevitably to revolution It always comes down to oil in the end

Elswick / Rye Hill I saw things in cruddas park shops that Iraqis and Iranians wouldn’t wish on any American tbh.

Sogno? It’s Scalvini’s dream to play for the toon? Send him some pictures of bridges asap. Wa massive.

Not sure I'd want to be in Tel Aviv tbh.

Iran was an enlightened place before the islamic revolution. Now, not so much. Is that our fault or the Ayatollahs? I dunno. You can go there with all the correct visas and paper work but good chance you're not coming back. Yes, the US are to some extent following the play book. I don't want to chance visiting there again any time soon. Honestly don't know anywhere near enough about Israeli politics to explain Netanyahu, I know Glooms the board expert on that. Doubt I'll ever go there either. I still think European values are aspirational though and I include the UK in that, for now.

The reason it isn't is because of the cunts running it. I get your point about how they came to power but they are an authoritarian regime with no allies in the middle east.

Tehran looks fairly developed to me tbh. I don't get the sense that Iran is a fundamentalist state at the citizen level. I mean I saw the pictures of it in the 50s before we fucked them over too, it looked fairly well developed. It should be the leading light of the whole region, it only isn't because of us. Netanyahu is in his 6th term as Prime Minister, so what does that say about Israel's electorate? Do we want to be allied with people who consistently vote for a war criminal? I just can't pretend this is all ok man, I just can't. I wouldn't be able to stay in Washington now anyway because of posts like this. They'd deport me.

Fabrizio Romano (he is close friend with Matteo Moretto) write in a Instagram Storie.

A person who in theory can be removed in an election. A country which in principle is a democracy and part of the international rules based order. Now, these are under massive stress at the moment because elected officials like Trump and Netanyahu are in actual fact autocratic trying to break the system. But there is a chance of reversal here through democratic mechanisms. What's happening with the US and Israel is very disturbing. But it doesn't change what Iran is. Hive me the option, I'd much rather live in Washington DC or Tel Aviv than Tehran. I suspect you would too.

100%. I’ve got a lot of issues with him but that’s a fucking pathetic tweet imo. It’s almost Owen Jones levels of naive simplicity

I grew up in Killy Towers. Top that, mofos!

They're also led by someone with an active arrest warrant out from the ICC for crimes against humanity. Iran aren't.

I think Major got, and still gets a bad rep. Succeeding Thatcher was always going to be a busted flush and Black Wednesday was a fucking disaster of biblical proportions. Like the recently departed Tory government, he knew they were on their way out long before the General Election, but unlike Johnson, Truss, Sunak, etc. I didn't see him deliberately sabotaging what was to be inherited. He lay foundations both economically and in terms of the peace process that the incoming Labour government pushed on with.

I lost count. Okay, I'll go back 6. John Mayor looks positively statesman like compared to what's on offer nowadays.
