Iran attacked the US base in Qatar and elsewhere in the middle east. I saw missiles and defensive drones above us.

Stay safe mate.

Stay safe mate.

Thanks. Hoping it's over for now. We're due to fly back to the UK on Friday anyway.

Could this be the most significant Nato since the Cold War?

Europe braces for Trump's arrival at the Nato summit with difficult questions over Iran and defence, following the 5% defence spending target he's demanded of allies

Ceasefire agreed to. Give the man a Nobel prize already.

Until it's announced/confirmed by the two sides, anything said by the orange-utan I will take with a pinch of salt.

He's not exactly been truthful about other ceasefires.

It's a bit like me taking a dump on a carpet and then seeking praise for it getting cleaned up even though (a) I'm not 100% sure it has been cleaned up and (b) if it has then it was someone else who cleaned it up on my behalf.

am i the only one that feels Trump only got involved so try and milk some good press afterwards?.....it was never clear to me what he joined Israel in attacking, seemingly going against his whole vibe of "less war" and claimed his national security advisor was wrong (who else outside the system is advising him?)....attack and immediately demand peace and then first to announce a ceasefire between two other countries....its wildly transparent

 

[Ddanno]

(who else outside the system is advising him?)

Irrelevant really, the only thing that matters is what's best for him at that particular moment as he perceives it.

The rest is politics podcast nailed it yesterday IMO. He actually thinks he's the hero in a reality TV show/movie.

Trump lashes out at Israel and Iran as he accuses both of violating ceasefire - live updates

Trump uses an expletive as he says both countries have fought each other for so long they don't know what they're doing.

So no cease fire just Iran saying please stop bombing us after the other two started it.

This like Ukraine saying it wants peace and Russia doing sweet **** all.

 

[Kiwiwomble]

they possibly will stop now theyve got the US to do what then needed, taking out their main nuclear facilities, wild people will think the US and Israel are magnanimous if they stop now

 

[dirty harry]

Well what do you expect when I have to read the **** that comes out of his mouth. He couldn't give a flying a toss about the number of innocent people who have died from Israel's aggression. This is all because Israel wants to protect it's status as the biggest dick in the region and has decided to take advantage of the fact that Trump and America will bend of backwards to do its bidding. All ChicagoKid can do is mock the situation. So yeah he is a **** and you're not much better continuing to support Israel who are nothing more that warmongers. People wondered if China would be the first to take advantage of the fact that the international community will do nothing after Russia invaded Ukraine. No it's Israel who have realised they can get away with almost anything right now and there will be little to no consequences. It was Trump who cancelled the nuclear treaty with Iran. It's Netanyahu who continually uses wars and conflicts to avoid jail. They have directly put my family in more danger over this ****, so forgive if I have no patience for arseholes who are completely unaffected by this sitting in their homes spouting out ****.

I get it you hate Isreal, and you hate anyone who doesn't fully condemn Isreals actions, but Isreal havnt 'taken advantage'of Ukraine getting invaded, I mean unless you agree with Oct 7th?

Oct 7th was planned specifically for this Isreali reaction, with the hopes the 'Islamic army' would mobilise and destroy Isreal.

Im not going to comment on family, but would suggest not chatting tonight strangers on the Internet of disagreeing makes you emotional enough to lash out, that's not good for you

 

[dirty harry]

No.

Give me back you US card, go live in Mexico you hippy!!!!

EDIT: Canada!!!

Seriously though, can't imagine this will be the last strike, take care of yourself.

You missed the part about hurt ego, TACO and all that. But ye, strikes were mutli faceted. Interesting that every world leader agrees Iran shouldn't have nukes, but noone wants to be first.

Irrelevant really, the only thing that matters is what's best for him at that particular moment as he perceives it.

It's not irrelevant though is it, the IAEA reported that Iran was enriching Nuclear attack military grade, and that's why he's now on Irans hitless, with the UK and France.
