Possibly so. Also sort of makes Trump look good I guess. Maybe it really is that simple.

Distracting from the other headlines within the US?

It's a weird one though given that they're unlikely to have done any real damage to Iran's nuclear program, and that Israel was calling for regime change and Khamenei's death. What was the point in any of it?

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-high-performance-podcast/id1500444735?i=1000713461348 good one on him shows his fortitude, and quite a few insights.

Aye but on this occasion he might actually be about to end this without further drama, so I'm all for it.

His quotes man. I probably shouldn’t laugh but he’s strangleh hilarious, which is perverse given how dangerous he is. Absolute loose cannon. Who knows what he’s going to do or say next? He was tweeting about regime change this morning

I have considered myself as an educated person in the past, but seeing fascist narratives becoming mainstream opinion I simply don’t give a fuck outside of my work confronting the erosion of the rule of law. People can seriously fuck off tbh.

"Classier" gets me every time - they genuinely believe it as well.

How would they know what a CL away game was like?

Aye, worryingly authoritarian.

You see what you want to see, I'm not here to persuade you. I'm just explaining why they did it. As for the Tesla thing, both were political acts of criminal damage. I could see the UK calling this sabotage, but not terrorism. Terrorism is a fucking stupid thing to call it - but it does give the government the largest number of options to silence people.

The linked article doesn't really offer any proof the RAF are launching these flights for any other reasons than the stated purpose of hostage location. If the implication is that the RAF are involved in genocidal activity I hope that comes out one day if it's true. Think there is quite a difference between setting alight a Tesla and breaking into MoD land as well, but again I don't know what's really happened.

I'm struggling to handle all the back and forth on this Genuinely will be relieved when July 1st hits.

Aye, sounds like we've moved onto Elanga as our RW choice. We are apparently in talks for both Trafford and Joao Pedro. Those 3 would be a mint 3/4 of a window, and we would only need a CB after that

I'm aware of the Israeli casualties, I resent the entire situation for civilians on both sides - consequently I watch the damage on both sides. I just mean Israel have announced they've knocked out all 99% of all long range missiles within the last day or so, meaning they should be approaching some semblance of safety. More importantly Trump has decided to overlook Iran's counterattack and is walking towards peace - so it seems DJT is the great peacemaker of our time, a shining beacon of Western civilisation's values as he disarms a rogue state of religious fanatics with aspirations of genocide of their nuclear weapons, seemingly calming their fanaticism at the same time. By the metric we're judging this situation on, it's a huge win for him.

We're flying surveillance to support Israeli bombardment - hence hitting the RAF. No one voted for it, but we're doing it. https://www.declassifieduk.org/britain-sent-over-500-spy-flights-to-gaza/ I mean I don't actually agree with it either for what it's worth but if this is terrorism then so is destroying Tesla - seems Starmer agrees with Trump.

Bada bing! 100 posts in less than 2 hours. Absolutely batshit.

Apparently Man Utd have gone back to Brentford with an improved bid of £60m for Bryan

Well, the article says they were violent and I heard on the radio they had caused millions of pounds of damage? I'm not necessarily believing this or defending them being put on the banned list. But what I would say is why were they targeting the RAF? Have the RAF been bombing Gaza? There's ways of protesting without making yourselves a national security threat. I also simply don't accept the UK is culpable for the horrendous situation in Gaza. Realistically, what can the government do? I guess be more condemnatory but honestly don't see that doing any good.

They hit a hospital a few days back. Iranian strikes already killed 24 Israelis and injured many more. It’s something they are used to. My family have all cowered in shelters over the years at various times. Air raid sirens are common in Israel, particularly in Haifa in the north, which has been targeted by Hezbollah rockets, and the desert area east of Gaza, where Hamas used to fire its rockets into. I have family in both areas. You’re right that Iran will suffer far greater casualties. They don’t have an iron dome defence system and Israel took out a lot of its antiaircraft defences.

They don’t want their strikers bombing forward for sure.
