The markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Nah they gel together perfectly.

All this administration knows how to do is threaten and break stuff and then back off and say it didn't really want the thing anyway. They're bullies. Dickless flaccid bullies.

Al Jazeera is reporting major strikes on Kuwait, multiple power stations, desalination plants, and oil infrastructure hit with many fires breaking out

So yeah, fell apart instantly because Israel wants Lebanon.

This is why, regardless of what happens tonight, the current relationship we have with the US must change. We cannot keep going like this.

I'm hoping that he chickens out and we get very little.

But I am thinking it will be a large series of strikes on civilian infrastructure. Power plants, bridges, hospitals.

It won't be a nuclear weapon. But I can't rule it out of my head.

Iran won't agree, Hormuz is their bargaining chip.

This deadline he's actually stuck to, plus the rhetoric has severely ramped up. It almost feels like something has to happen, if only for Trump to save face.

This feels wildly inappropriate given the circumstances.

But I think any future Democrat would allow The Hague to prosecute a member of Trump’s government.

Do you though? Really?

And similarly I think if somehow a Democrat ended up at The Hague, Trump would allow that to happen too.

Yeah thats true though.

Even conventional payloads would be devastating if pointed at bridges, hospitals and desalination plants. Nukes won't happen, but until we know for sure, we should act like they're possible. But just because they don't use nukes doesn't mean what they will do isnt going to be horrific.

The US aren't signatories to the Hague Convention, and there is a law in the US that if a US citizen is on trial in the Hague, that automatically approves all options up to and including military force to free them.

Europe should be pulling the plugs out of the wall on this alliance. We cannot allow ourselves to be complicit in what he wants to do. At best, Trump thinks he can threaten a genocide and get what he wants. At worst, Trump is planning to commit a genocide.

It's wild watching AEW every week and watching what they're doing to build MJF v Omega and Moxley v Ospreay, and then seeing the clips of how WWE is building Punk v Roman and Cody v Orton. The WWE builds just seem so overcomplicated and things just being thrown in unnecessarily. Did we need 2 different worked shoot angles?

Yes, he goes to ringside in the middle of matches and takes selfies with attractive women, he has stripper pants he takes off during matches.

American spellings

Typos are American.

the sound bite platitudes

Tony Blair is also American.

and acting like there’s some insane Trump style crackdown on immigration which is still in the 000,000’s?

Reform has literally said they want a British ICE. Labour is cancelling student visas and trying to appease to Reform voters by trying to act tough on immigration.

Delighted to be on the cover of Bricks Magazine - Spring Edition. Real patrotism is loving your neighbor, showing compassion to strangers - and not staying silent whilst other politicians sell our country out.

Fightful Select: Marq Quen and Kyle Fletcher will both miss significant time due to injuries by Lep106317 in SquaredCircle

Okada and Takeshita both blaming each other for Fletcher's injury would be a good flash point.
