F1: this might be the first time I've ever seen the driver from third be favourite (2.5) to lead lap 1.
Re: Will Boris Johnson join Reform? – politicalbetting.com
If you don't want your allies to stab you in the back it might be an idea to consult them before you do something really stupid, to be less rude, less arrogant, less Trumpian to sum it all up.Trump wants several countries including the UK to send ships to the Strait of Hormuz .It looks like blame shifting, which might be a good sign if so. Who lost Iran? Our allies stabbed us in the back.
So having started this disastrous war he’s now expecting others to help clear up the mess .

I doubt I'd have agreed with him on anything whatsoever but a friend recently died from brain cancer and it is an awful way to go.
RIP.

Where as these days if Iran claimed it had sunk any British ships we would instantly know they were lying due to not having any in active service....HMS Ark Royal has entered the chat - during the early part of WWII, the Germans reported her sunk, quite frequently. The crew kept a tally, IIRC.That's a bit unfortunate for the crew. They must be sick of it.Iran claiming it has destroyed 5 US refuelling tankers at a base in Saudi.They have also claimed they have sunk the US aircraft carrier's 87 times in 14 days.
Huge if true.

Spritz spirit!Blitz spirit!He’s sitting in a rooftop bar among the beautiful people, first in line to be hit by the Iranians, with free glasses of wine turning up every few minutes…Iran warns residents to leave areas near port in Dubai, according to Reuters.Ouch
I hope @Sandpit is safe!

Huge if true.
Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Yes, very much a “you broke it you own it” situation.Our repsonse should not change. YOu made the mess so you clear it up. No help from us. I would hope France would be the same.This is different.So? Trump is unpredictable.Trump wants several countries including the UK to send ships to the Strait of Hormuz .Take a look at your last sentence.
So having started this disastrous war he’s now expecting others to help clear up the mess .
Don’t miss the OBVIOUS take out - Trump calling on his hated Macron, his hated China, and even more hated Starmer for help with this, is a screeching u-turn of sorts.
Hence his Chagos U-Turn, and every other one.
Does it tell us anything new? No.
From “we don’t need you. The US is the greatest military in the world, under the greatest presidency it’s ever had. We don’t need any carpet bagger joining late, it’s already in the bag.”
to
“Can we have a hand, please.”
is different.

From the start I supposed that Mr Trump would expect the USA's former allies be all gung ho in support; and then he'd get bored, back out, and leave them to pick up the pieces.Our repsonse should not change. YOu made the mess so you clear it up. No help from us. I would hope France would be the same.This is different.So?
