because America agrees that Iran should not have nuclear weapons. Indeed, Trump is now planning, I believe, to bomb the Israeli nuclear warhead sites. Good for America though we'd better close down our UK sites. Meanwhile - is America intending to scrap ITS nuclear sites? Humanity has lost the plot. We should change our name to LEMMINGS as dear Don marks the route to the cliff top.
The only significant thing about all this is that Trump has clearly decided to abandon his silly hair and now always wears a MAGA cap in public. Hurrah! Does this mean soon, NO ORANGE MAKEUP???
No wonder those intergalactic visitors (I believe there are 1000s of them from 1000s of different planets in the Milky Way ) are wary of revealing themselves.
Earth is such a warring planet and has been for 1000s of years.
The Aliens must think we are bonkers and so steer clear of us. We're probably studied in their schools as a beautiful but dangerous planet and quite bonkers as we spend $Billions to go to a barren red rock useless planet like Mars which may once have been a lovely little place which the original Earthlings (Martians) destroyed before making it to the rock next door.
Can someone explain - what is Trump's excuse for bombing Iran? Or Netanyahu's, come to that? Did Iran attack a music festival recently? In which case, we understand, a regime has every right to kill thousands of innocent citizens of another country. I do need clarity please Don.
Got the news alert at 2.30am. The cat up early to catch the napping birds. Seems Trump wanted to show he has mettle and isn't TACO Trump. Because there is no other viable reason to attack Iran. People worried now about what Iran will do in response, what China might do, what Pakistan do. No, no. It's only what Trump and Netty might do is the now forever concern. Iran will not surrender. If in response they attack US Military bases close by, I wouldn't put anything past Donny. I have always been convinced Putin would never use nukes. Not at all as convinced with Trump. There are even some suggesting he wants WW3 so as no other man can ever be President after him. Sounds crazy? Not when it's him.
It's interesting what Mark Dice has written. I hope Trump has not done a Blair, claim Iran as WMD, but they had nothing, and Dr David Kelly paid the price. It's amazing how people forget about the WMD debacle.
It's not the foot soldiers that worry me; Starmer is more worried about Ukraine, as it's a haven for money laundering, and the conflict seems to have been forgotten about now, alongside the rent boy fires.
You have to remember that lone wolf terrorist attacks are going to be the norm now in both the UK and the US. The Manchester Arena bomber is one of many from Iran.
I have to repeat my original question - why is one country banned from having a bomb whilst others are allowed? It makes no sense - especially not as an excuse to bomb a country.
I have always thought Corbyn was right - scrap Trident; invest in deeper cyber protection. But no, my feeling is that some little countries (like Israel) appear to have nuclear but others (like Iran) are not only banned but it's an excuse to bomb or invade them if they are suspected of building one.

Logically and ethically I cannot see what right any country (US UK Israel) can tell another what they can and cannot have including what weapons.
I mean what about India and Pakistan both with 100s of nuclear weapons and basically hating each other.
Now we learn the US bombing of Iran has put Australia in the firing line as it seems to have been organised through the mysterious Pine Gap spy base in the middle of the Australian desert.
PM Albanese won't comment on it but he has no say anyway as the US runs the facility as a law unto itself. But he's backed the US but attacking Iran is a war crime.
And recall recently how Israel set of 1000s of pager bombs, a deliberate war crime.
The US actor Micheal Rapaport chortled away about it on Twitter sending up the victims but seems to have gone quiet now that Israel has been bombed.
Iran has a history of backing some terrorist actions but they were actually "at the negotiating table" already but Israel has targeted and killed Iran's chief negotiator which is a serious action to inflame the drama.
I think a significant number of Israelis live in a sort of dream world where they think they are invulnerable.
"All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly 'Plane Wave' to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social....
Trump had announced the ceasefire with a post on Truth Social: "THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!"
"friendly 'plane wave'"?! Trump's a demented fool. And a complete pushover. Yet he seems to expect Israel and Iran and Putin and anyone else planning military action to take him and his ALL CAPS ravings seriously.
There's not much Trump can do. If two nations want to bomb the shit out of each other let them get on with it but innocent people always die.
USA has their own problems to sort out, no one has a magic wand. Starmer has done sod all to help the Middle East, but he gives the Ukrainian midget endless sums of cash, but for what?
I do wonder if Labour regret creating identify politics under Blair. Even gypsies and travellers are a protected race. You can't make it up.
