Trump: "Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
She's apparently learning from Starmer, God help us.
His handlers must be shaking their heads and will likely be interviewing others to continue Project 2025
Edit: The Susie Wiles news was odd. They seem to be holding her captive despite her need for cancer treatment.
Highly opportunistic though
It deserves a hoo-har, let's make it one.
This is not news. He recorded one saying ‘up the Ra’, so he did.
He’s a grifter and a money grabber. He’s hardly endorsing these.
I hope he paid his taxes !
I also see Gregg (don’t call him Greg) Wallace is doing these now. Got to make some cash now his career has gone astray.
Mike Johnson: "We all understood there was clearly an imminent threat that Iran was very close to the enrichment of nuclear capability ... I don't know where Joe Kent is getting his information ... the president felt he had to strike first to prevent mass casualties"

Which again doesn't really square with this.

...Powell’s presence at the talks, and his close knowledge of how they were progressing, was confirmed by three sources. One source said he was in the building at Oman’s ambassadorial residence in Cologny acting as an adviser, reflecting widespread concern about the US expertise on the talks represented by Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy on several issues.
Kushner and Witkoff had invited Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to the Geneva talks, to provide technical expertise, though Kushner would later claim that he and Witkoff had “a pretty deep understanding of the issues that matter in this”. Nuclear experts would later say that Witkoff’s pronouncements on the Iran nuclear programme were riddled with basic errors.
Powell has long experience as a mediator, and one source said Powell brought an expert from the UK Cabinet Office with him. One western diplomat said: “Jonathan thought there was a deal to be done, but Iran were not quite there yet, especially on the issue of UN inspections of its nuclear sites.”
A former official who was briefed on the Geneva talks by some of the participants said: “Witkoff and Kushner did not bring a US technical team with them. They used Grossi as their technical expert, but that is not his job. So Jonathan Powell took his own team.
“The UK team were surprised by what the Iranians put on the table,” the former official added. “It was not a complete deal, but it was progress and was unlikely to be the Iranians’ final offer. The British team expected the next round of negotiations to go ahead on the basis of the progress in Geneva.”
That next round of talks was due to take place in Vienna on Monday 2 March, but never happened. The US and Israel had launched their all-out attack two days earlier...
Senator Graham on Trump— “I have never heard him so angry in my life.”

NATO is a defensive alliance, and only applies within the geographical confines it is limited to ie Europe and North America.
It does not include offensive actions, or actions beyond its geographic limits, which means Iran is beyond its remit.
Which was a choice of America, ironically, since America did not want to be called to assist Britain in defending its Empire.
So the UK could not demand America's assistance when the Falklands was invaded, and the USA has absolutely no right to demand NATO assistance in Iran.
Guardian are a bit opaque about how they got this info. They claim publicly available in the source code of the website...that gave them access to not just prompts but videos including outtakes? hmmm. Who did their website, same peoppe who did companies house.

All that matters is if America and Israel were satisfied with the Iranian offer. They clearly weren't.

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake.
The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure.
The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America.
I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.
Your war, not ours.
Fuck off.
(Denis Norden voice:)
If you’re one of those people who blame immigrants and woke for everything...
I say that too, not as a critic of the war. Indeed as one of the lone supporters of war with Iran and as someone who thinks that British forces should be used, in a ground invasion if required.
However I would support that because I think its the right thing to do, not out of respect for Trump (which is non-existent) and not due to any alliance obligations (which are also non-existent).
If Iran attacked America, on its soil, then we would be obliged under NATO to respond. They have not. We are under no obligations. Fighting in Hormuz is not covered by the NATO Treaty, thanks to choices America made when the Treaty was signed.
Of course not. Silly me!
Normal presidents don't do that sort of thing.
I think it is a disgrace we are not helping liberate Iran from the Mullahs and we should be doing so.
But I think it is good to see Trump hoist on his own petard.
The Shinners are trying to make out that this is An Attack On The Peace Process.
You have to ask yourself what did Trump expect? But I don't suppose he gave it a moment's thought.
He seems to be quite psychopathic and delusional, being surrounded for decades by sycophants seems to have left him with a perverted sense that everyone should simply bow down and do what he says - and anyone who does not he gets quite angry at.
I don't think he thought twice about how he has insulted America's allies, threatened to invade one, or insulted our war dead.
He expected people to jump, despite being under no agreement to do so, merely as he demanded it.
What Powell considers progress, likely was not considered sufficient progress by Netanyahu.
Even though it’s nothing to do with that . This really is a dark time and Europe needs to wake up.
Includes:
3. One surprising development: Iran is still moving oil through the Strait of Hormuz while disrupting everyone else. In most war games I participated in, we assumed Iran couldn’t close the Strait and still use it themselves. That would have made the move extremely self-defeating. But Iran appears capable of harassing global shipping while still pushing some of its own exports through. That changes the calculus.

Three weeks into the war with Iran, a number of observations as someone who spent years war-gaming this scenario.
https://x.com/ilangoldenberg/status/2033566389978423382
Go on Nigel, you know you want to.
Leave the shitshow with Tice and HMRC.
The issue is that America is OK with the oil getting through as if it doesn't that will make the oil price worse.
Which is f***ing stupid. Take the hit on the oil price, and shut the damn thing properly, hurting Iran and putting pressure on them . . . or call off the whole war if you're going to be incompetent about it.
To be going to war but letting Iran still trade is the worst of all worlds. Morons.

4/ though Kent's resignation has been slammed by Trump loyalists, the statement will have legal import for every Western democracy with a functioning attorney general system - the first insider testimony (not evidence) that there was no imminent threat.

Xi: "why the fuck would I want to do that?"
Trump: "Because...erm...I just mined the Straits...?"
He has to stay home to manage the war he's, er....checks notes...already won.
He doesn't mind Russia supplying intelligence to Iran, but claims that Ukraine (who have ample anti-drone experience), are the last people to take advice from, and blames Zelensky for not making peace.
Fuck him.
Trump: "I originate -- to put it nicely -- I originate -- many of us do -- from Europe. I love Europe. I've spent a lot of time in Europe. It's a different place. Bad, bad things have happened to Europe. Very bad things. And you better do something about immigration and energy or you won't have a Europe"
Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea.

Screw you guys, i'm going home (complete with hand gesture).
That’s the most pathetic statement of the whole war.
No one on PB can support you saying that.
We have to wait till a nuke is used in a NATO country before we act. We can’t prevent a strike? We can’t act on intelligence of a threat?
But the US has made clear to us they were under imminent threat of the Ayatollah’s Nuclear bomb, Iran was just days away from achieving. I’ve seen it mentioned by US government, California was just two weeks away from being ready made film set for season 3 of Fall Out.
So you are wrong - if US and Israel intelligence felt California and Jerusalem were just days away from being radioactive waste, NATO has to respect that serious threat to the US - NATO member state - and Israel, doesn’t it?
It’s beyond doubt, where there is a mess now, Israel and US blame the mess squarely on failure of others preventing Iran’s nuclear programme - deals that allowed Iran to keep racing towards the goal, negotiations going on forever allowing Iran to keep racing towards the goal. Iran were brazen about it. Do you want weapons of mass destruction? Yes. Are you busy working towards possessing them? Yes.
So what gives you such knowledge to pontificate like you are doing? If it comes down to what Israeli and US Intelligence services knew, over what you knew - then you are going to lose aren’t you?
And that is what it does comes down to. All other avenues exhausted for preventing Iran’s weapons of mass destruction. Intelligence about how close and real the threat was.

Lest we never forget.
Nobody has even showed any working pratical application for this technology. US companies who have been at this for years have basically zero revenue from it, basically a few govenrment research contracts. And yet Reeves thinks 100k jobs in the UK alone are right around the corner.
SFAICS if they are not the largest party the chance of leading a government is small, as in that case either the Tories are the largest party (which feels unlikely) or the Left of Centre get to 325+ seats and stop a Reform government.
Even if they are the largest party they may not form a government, for the same Left of Centre alliance reason.
Reform getting a majority is currently about 11/4, or a 73% chance it won't happen.
Current odds give Farage about a 14% chance of being next PM. This, given the above + the probability of another PM during this government, is not value or anywhere close.
Bet accordingly, DYOR.
