Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump · 1h Steve Bannon: “I’m just reporting what I’m hearing from pretty good sources: the party is on...another big weekend in this unfolding aspect of the 3rd World War”
Ok so maybe London isn’t ALL bad. A midsummer eve by the river. Sweet Thames, run softly…

Out of interest, have you noticed any improvement in the water quality now that the super sewer is up and running?
The club monitors the water daily. Seems like a big improvement so far. Mind you, the water quality in the Thames is actually better than a number of other European cities. They just don’t advertise it. The Seine is pretty bad.
Yep: If you swam in the river in Paris, you'd be in Seine.
Bada boom.
I once saw two people having sex in a river in Kew. Their love was in Thames.
That joke would have worked better if you'd seen them camping. It would have been in tents.

Scoop: President Trump & Turkish President Erdoğan quietly sought to arrange a meeting between the U.S. and Iran in Istanbul last Monday. But the effort collapsed when Iran's supreme leader Khamenei couldn't be reached to approve it.
I think Trump genuinely does not want to bomb Iran (because he wants his Nobel Peace Prize), but Khamenei keeps rebuffing all his attempts at outreach & a negotiated solution.
The B-2 flights & rumours about an imminent attack could very well be an elaborate attempt to panic the Iranians & push them to the negotiating table.
Polymarket currently has 55% chance of an attack, which I think looks about right:
For a different view, perhaps underneath Trump wants somebody else to give him an escape route from this latest corner into which he has painted himself.
Having demolished an existing agreement on Iran and nuclear in his first term, he allowed (or fell for Netanyahu's tricks, since he is gullible to manipulation to allow) Netanyahu to launch a war whilst a dialogue process was continuing.
He's now trying turbo-posturing and threats to make them obey him. Given that he never places any value whatsoever on his own promises, why on earth would the Iranians come to the table, when if they do come to the table Trump may well betray any agreement he signs anyway?
Trump has set out to demolish international legal standards, and has betrayed all his closest and oldest allies, so of course he can't be trusted.
We know that with Trump everything is always about him, and he's too much of a coward to look in the mirror at his own behaviour. Why would this be any different?
From what I see, it's quite likely that the nuclear centre is resilient to Trump's biggest bombs anyway. And there won't be any follow up invasion.
But no - I don't know what Khamenei will do. A "manage Trump" viewpoint may say get some agreement, and take time elaborating it in the hope that in due course Trump pops his clogs, as the rest of the world is doing as one track in our engagement.
I can see much good covert arms business coming for China out of this. We can be sure Iran will work night and day as they are able to blunt Israel's advantage, and I can't tell the outcome of that.
At what point does Trump get bored, and TACO?
Hilarious that you blame Netanyahu for this conflict when Iran are guilty of enriching uranium to 60% for which the only purpose to do that is seeking nuclear weapons. Power generation doesn't need uranium past 3-5%.
Some of you guys act as if Netanyahu is at fault for this, not Iran.
The whole world should be grateful for Netanyahu that he stepped up to the plate to stop the Mullahs from getting nukes when nobody else was prepared to do so. He should be nominated for something equivalent to the Nobel Peace Prize for that.
He should still be replaced as PM and imprisoned for corruption, but on this, thank goodness he did the right thing.
This particular conflict - the bombing of Iran - is Netanyahu's decision. He launched his attacks on them whilst dialogue was still happening. That's just what happened.
Views about causes and reasons are one thing, but actual events are clear.
I'd say it is likely to be to Israel's disadvantage, just as the unnecessary (*) slaughter of civilians in Gaza will prove to be.
* Some collateral killing of civilians was inevitable imo, and I'm framing that as 'necessary'. The IDF have gone far beyond that. It's not ideal language, but it makes my point.

It's my fault, I have raised the bar for subtle puns on PB, nobody can match me on that front.
Scoop: President Trump & Turkish President Erdoğan quietly sought to arrange a meeting between the U.S. and Iran in Istanbul last Monday. But the effort collapsed when Iran's supreme leader Khamenei couldn't be reached to approve it.
I think Trump genuinely does not want to bomb Iran (because he wants his Nobel Peace Prize), but Khamenei keeps rebuffing all his attempts at outreach & a negotiated solution.
The B-2 flights & rumours about an imminent attack could very well be an elaborate attempt to panic the Iranians & push them to the negotiating table.
Polymarket currently has 55% chance of an attack, which I think looks about right:
For a different view, perhaps underneath Trump wants somebody else to give him an escape route from this latest corner into which he has painted himself.
Having demolished an existing agreement on Iran and nuclear in his first term, he allowed (or fell for Netanyahu's tricks, since he is gullible to manipulation to allow) Netanyahu to launch a war whilst a dialogue process was continuing.
He's now trying turbo-posturing and threats to make them obey him. Given that he never places any value whatsoever on his own promises, why on earth would the Iranians come to the table, when if they do come to the table Trump may well betray any agreement he signs anyway?
Trump has set out to demolish international legal standards, and has betrayed all his closest and oldest allies, so of course he can't be trusted.
We know that with Trump everything is always about him, and he's too much of a coward to look in the mirror at his own behaviour. Why would this be any different?
From what I see, it's quite likely that the nuclear centre is resilient to Trump's biggest bombs anyway. And there won't be any follow up invasion.
But no - I don't know what Khamenei will do. A "manage Trump" viewpoint may say get some agreement, and take time elaborating it in the hope that in due course Trump pops his clogs, as the rest of the world is doing as one track in our engagement.
I can see much good covert arms business coming for China out of this. We can be sure Iran will work night and day as they are able to blunt Israel's advantage, and I can't tell the outcome of that.
At what point does Trump get bored, and TACO?

He was right to launch the attacks. Dialogue will always continue, but the deadline set for an agreement had passed.
That you blame Netanyahu, rather than Iran, for this conflict speaks volumes.

No, no guilt there.
Israel never signed the non proliferation treaty so aren't breaching it.
Israel also aren't a suicide bomber backing state, unlike Iran.
Preventing Iran from getting nukes is entirely reasonable.

Just so everyone know, I've taken note of all the posters who are on this evening, and somehow failed to like my post.
A law student at the U of Florida — a self-described white nationalist and Nazi — wrote a paper arguing that the Constitution only applies to white people.
The federal judge teaching the class, a Trump appointee, gave him the highest grade and awarded him a prize.
It applies to three-fifths of non-white Americans.
I think their argument is that the Dred Scott decision remains good law, which ruled, inter alia, that a negro whose ancestors had been in servitude could not be a US citizen.
Some of them, I’m quite sure, would also like to see slavery re-established.

We've had similar stuff on active travel forums/protests. It's really irritating - there are plenty of right wing cyclists who could make a significant contribution to our campaigns (e.g. Peter Hitchens) but get crowded out by the omni-protestors.
I wonder what it was about your cause that attracts those who hate freedom?
I honestly think benefit sanctions for these protestors would be the biggest win. Auto facial recognition, anyone going to them that are on unemployment or disability benefits should face losing them immediately.
People are entitled to believe stupid things.
Sure, they can do it on their own dime, not sitting at home on benefits all day and agitating at the weekends. Get a job and then go and protest.
Half of the omni-protesters need to get a job and stop living off the Bank of Mummy and Daddy.
Introduce weekly fines for parents with NEET kids that live at home. That will get them out of the house and into the first available job. It would be brilliantly funny seeing Tarquin and Olivia working in McDonalds.
You're becoming a parody. What business is it of yours if Tarquin and Olivia's parents continue to support them?

The club monitors the water daily. Seems like a big improvement so far. Mind you, the water quality in the Thames is actually better than a number of other European cities. They just don’t advertise it. The Seine is pretty bad.

So it looks like the US will go against Iran. The question then is are we looking at a limited exercise to take out Fordow or are they going to try for regime change?
Reportedly Khamenei has given 3 names to the Assembly of Experts as possible successors. My impression is that at 86 years old and in ill health, Khamenei would rather die than submit.
The question then is to a successor. The favourite is Mojtaba Khamenei but he may be holed up with his father somewhere and also at risk of being taken out. Beyond that I don't know.
The President Pezeshkian seems to be a little more moderate, but is ineligible to become Supreme Leader as he's not an Ayatollah.
When I wrote my Iran header, I never even considered that the succession could come via an attack by Israel and the US!

I'm struggling wth the Electora Calculus calculation: what if both Reform and the LibDems end up on 33%?
They are separate calculations mapped against each other to compare. If LDs and Ref both got 33% then that would completely break any seat calculations!

I think the calculators are already as good as useless with just the Reform surge - Reform are very clearly surging asymettrically from the locals results

Well it's on the edge of reality. But I think one can say with some degree of confidence that Reform would get more seats than LD. No one else would get many..Whether they got an overall majority would depend what happened in Scotland.
An Irish MEP has asked the EU's most senior foreign affairs official to apologise for suggesting Ireland's policy of neutrality is in part due to Ireland not having a modern-day understanding of 'atrocities, mass deportations, suppression of culture and language'
They did sabotage UK military assets. It's on a different level to closing off a major motorway, however irritating or economically damaging that might be.
I guess the counter argument is it's simply criminal damage, and if there was no reason to proscribe them before this incident then why is there now?
Owen Jones has a point. Whatever these people did, it was not in the same class as ISIS.
However, as posted yesterday, shortly after the news broke, the social media reaction was very angry, wanting the plane-daubers charged with terrorism or even treason.

Views about causes and reasons are one thing, but actual events are clear.
I'd say it is likely to be to Israel's disadvantage, just as the unnecessary (*) slaughter of civilians in Gaza will prove to be.
* Some collateral killing of civilians was inevitable imo, and I'm framing that as 'necessary'. The IDF have gone far beyond that. It's not ideal language, but it makes my point.

Israel never signed the non proliferation treaty so aren't breaching it.
Israel also aren't a suicide bomber backing state, unlike Iran.
Preventing Iran from getting nukes is entirely reasonable.
Some of them, I’m quite sure, would also like to see slavery re-established.
Not just the Conservatives against the family farm tax either, the LDs and SNP and Reform also want to reverse it
