Imagine if, in Dr Strangelove, when the President discovers the existence of the Doomsday Machine, his first thought is to manipulate the financial markets with the threat of triggering it.

Ding Dong

Trump learned last night he can explicitly threaten a country with genocide, even putting a timestamp on when it'll happen and nobody, absolutely nobody in America will make a single move to try and stop him, but sure go back to acting like everything's fine lads. World Cup, Taco Tuesday, woo woo.

I imagine he's going to start threatening to extinguish a civilization a lot more regularly now. To him it's just a bargaining position, a way to get what he wants. Until of course, he gets cheesed off enough with someone and goes through with it.

So oil prices go up all over the world as a direct payment to Iran to replace the infrastructure destroyed by the US and Israel. That is some great Leading of the Free World right there.

We didn't deserve this day.

The US military has 22 sites in the UK.

Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran.

This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more.

The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

I do like your poem by the way

Sorry, it was a joke about this bsky.app/profile/vpca...

Call me ill-informed, I'm an engineering major, but what is the light source for this?

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

I really don't think it's the dancing that upsets people Stella

I thought they got stuck in the sand though? I assumed another one would be the same but I suppose it might not have landed at exactly the same spot.

If they needed 2 C130s to get the special forces troops in, and both C130s were destroyed, how did they get the special forces troops the 200 miles out of Iran afterwards?

In conclusion: 1940 was a big year for carrots

Carrots Can't Help You See in the Dark. Here's How a World War II Propaganda Campaign Popularized the Myth The British government claimed that eating carrots helped its fighter pilots shoot down German planes at night. In truth, the Royal Air Force relied on top-secret radar

Nothing to do with bugs, unfortunately

The carrot night vision thing is a good story too

if the Greens *aren’t* pissing off everyone who is more or less contented with the status quo at Westminster, then they’re not doing their jobs well at all, so it’s been good to see the reaction to Hannah Spencer’s Guardian article

She's not your colleague, dipshit. She is in a different party and actually wants you gone.

As most of the country does hth

She's in a different party to you, it's her job to make you look bad and she doesn't owe you right of reply

Ed Miliband to give green light to first major North Sea gasfield project in decade | LBC The energy secretary is expected to approve Jackdaw drilling as the Iran war puts pressure on the government over energy security fears

A huge betrayal.

Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks.

And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.

I just discovered the other day that even for prescription medicine you can get the prescription from the vets and use it to buy the drugs online and it's still way cheaper

Thomas More for me. All the people executed who have Catholic schools named after them now, I imagine would have been delighted to learn they weren't being persecuted but thwarted from making England a Catholic country

He gives himself too much credit. I'm not offended. I do think he's a racist old idiot.

That "corbynistas" are flocking to the party that Corbyn isn't even in points to the obvious conclusion that "corbynistas" are & always were a fiction of pundit brain & what people want is to be able to vote for a party with left wing policies

I just woke up and now I'm worried. 3 World Wars....?

Blue Labour will kill their party long before Corbynistas do the same to the Greens
