Israel has played a terrible hand in this. They’re the aggressor in this case. Netanyahu only managed to cling to power, after several elections failed to produce a governing majority., by forming a coalition of all the worst fringe politicians in the country. Imagine if we were governed by Reform and the English Defence League. It’s that bad. Worse actually because he’s got the religious fundamentalists propping him up too - and they really do believe in a one state solution, ethnic cleansing in other words. These nutters do not speak for the majority of Israelis, just as the Iranian regime don’t speak for all Iranians. My family in Israel are going through hell. My cousin recently had to undergo chemotherapy in an air raid shelter.

Iran is indicating that it has returned fire with an equal number of missiles to the US attack they suffered, and that they chose targets out of the way of civilian areas, and indeed warned the bases of the strikes. Nice to see at least one of these nations acting with some restraint. Shame there aren't more adults in the room though - Trump will hit them either way.

this. The international rules-based order has collapsed. The UN no longer serves any purpose, nor seemingly does the US constitution.

Ballistic sorry

Just the basic ones? They’re expecting to fire at US bases in UAE too. Not going to end well for anyone, this.

Must have missed the cross from Livramento to Isak and the general direction the club has gone in recent years despite all efforts to make things as impossible as possible for Newcastle. I will keep my mouth shut…

Iran firing basic missiles at empty US bases in Qatar. Another oil war. Great.

Completely agree, this is the true damage caused by the US's descent into Trumpism. The rules based order wasn't always effective and I can complete accept to many it was a sham. But now it's gone it's going to be survival of the fittest out there is we can't dial it in. I think for most people this is by far the most dangerous age we've lived in post ww2. You knew where you were with the soviet union and MAD back in the day. We're in a much more unstable place now with Putin, Trump, the rise of China, Taiwan, carnage in the Middle.Eat, India, Pakistan etc. And at the same time our own stature has been degraded.

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.
