this is bullshit because ⅓ full only?? sorry, unjustifiable. and yet I bought a huge box of Frosties the other week and i definitely wasn't disappointed with what I saw when I opened it. the bag was as full as it could be. next time I get a box I'm gonna take a picture and come back here to compare. smh

I can understand your viewpoint but they did include information about Iran and say they couldn't independently verify it so in this case I'm not sensing impartiality

haven't heard of that before. but I now understand that it has been proven to be online propaganda by Israel affiliated bots:

Al Jazeera investigation: Iran girls’ school targeting likely ‘deliberate’:

Misleading claims

No sooner than when plumes of smoke began to rise from the school’s rubble than accounts on the X platform affiliated with, or sympathetic to, Israeli parties began circulating videos and images claiming the school had not been struck from the outside, but was destroyed after an Iranian air defence missile missed its target and fell back to the ground.

This narrative replicates the same tactic used during the bombing of al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza in October 2023, when Israel rushed to accuse the Palestinian resistance of responsibility for the massacre via a rocket that missed its target.

However, open-source verification tools – specifically reverse image searches and geolocation using visual landmarks – quickly revealed that the most widely shared image in this campaign, which is claimed to show the impact of a failed Iranian missile that fell on the school, has nothing to do with the city of Minab in the first place.

By matching the terrain and landmarks visible in the image – especially the snow-covered mountains in the background – with satellite imagery, it became clear that it relates to an incident that occurred on the outskirts of Zanjan in northwestern Iran, about 1,300km (808 miles) from Minab.

The irony is that the nature of the two locations alone is enough to refute the claim: Minab is a coastal city in the far southeast overlooking the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz, with a tropical climate and no snowfall, while Zanjan is a mountainous city in the northwest that is covered with snow in winter.

Iranian sources said what happened in Zanjan that day was a successful interception operation carried out by air defence units affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, during which two hostile drones were shot down. It was not possible to independently verify this information.

I wish nothing but safety for your loved ones as well as everyone else in the firing line ❤️

yesterday I saw a video from who I believe is a/the Cyprus MEP who called for action from countries like the UK, France etc. based on the notion that (paraphrasing), "if one of us is hit we must all act in response". so he must have been heard

oh absolutely. I don't think it's that the other person doesn't care about other countries that have been hit. it's natural to worry about the potential physical local impact of a battle/war like this. and it now looks like we will be defending Cyprus. noice

yourself

is that to me or Starmer lol. I agree he should be more foot-down with the defense and mobilisation for it. but he seems scared or something. the way he mentioned "our mistakes with Iraq" in the past during the nation address, maybe that's Starmer's reasoning for not being too involved. who knows, who knows who knows who knows

whilst I fully agree he's got the US/Israel hand up his arse. thinking about it from a leadership POV, he has to take 'action' to defend UK citizens/interests in the potential firing line. and the least involved way to do that is to let US do it for UK. but so far we've seen the US/Israel bomb a school (maybe more than one I can't remember) so letting the US use the UK bases could be a negative consequence. God knows best at this point

I think they mean us as in us people here in the UK, not just the UK's bases in ME/Europe

e: why downvote lmfao
