  • Middle East war could be decided by who runs out of missiles or interceptors first, analysts say

    Jump

  • Trump probably doesn't expect the world to carry on after he dies of natural causes so this is rational in the mind of a narcissist.

    Typical Boomer, spending all the inheritance.

  • TIL that Japan incorporates more disaster planning into its buildings and public spaces than any other nation

    Jump

  • Nowhere else has the triple threat of earthquakes, volcanoes and massive kaiju.

    Edit: also typhoons and tsunami too

  • No warning, no siren: 6 US service members killed in Iranian strike that hit makeshift operations center in Kuwait

    Jump

  • "If you could hear, at every jolt, the bloodCome gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,Obscene as cancer,Bitter as the cudOf vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–My friend, you would not tell with such high zestTo children ardent for some desperate glory,The old Lie: Dulce et decorum estPro patria mori."

  • Melania Trump presides over UN Security Council as US attacks Iran

    Jump

  • Why her? Shouldn't this be the role of a senior civil servant/diplomat or an elected member of the administration? Sending the partner of the President seems idiotic as a principle and reeks of nepotism, let alone if she actually had the diplomatic skills for the role.

    Edit: oh wait, idiotic is the modus operandi for this administration. Never mind, as you were. No need to answer the question.

  • NATO boss declares European backing for Trump after Iran leader eliminated

    Jump

  • Are they really all so naive to think Iran isn't a multi-headed snake?

    Are they really all so naive to think Iran can't restart its nuclear program?

    Are they really all so naive to not realise all they've done is shown every country out there, especially rogue states, why the need for a nuclear deterrent is required, a la North Korea, to prevent the US, Israel, Russia or any other wannabe tyrannical country from attacking them.

  • Gold Coast draws line in the sand on Trump Tower proposal

    Jump

  • I mean, it's tacky even for the Gold Coast, and that's saying something.

  • Iranian drone hit British base, Cyprus president says

    Jump

  • No. He said no to the US using them at first, and then changed his mind and said yes

  • At least 30 people killed in Israeli strikes after Hezbollah enters the fray

    Jump

  • How completely predictable that it would spread further and hence why a full-scale attack hadn't occurred before.

  • Greenland vote in Danish election to test sentiment on independence and Denmark ties

    Jump

  • No they couldn't. There are lots of rules to joining the EU that Greenland, as an independent country may not meet. The EU is also not a military force in its own right, they would have to join NATO for that to occur - which they probably could but again, rules for joining that they may not be able to meet.

    Though I could imagine that Greenlanders feel they should be independent, and likely the Danish would think so too, but currently they're under Denmark's ties to EU and NATO so, until the US threat has passed (over, into hell as he richly deserves), it may be best to stay linked. But I'd be asking for another vote in 5-10 years to reassess and to get ducks in a row to quickly sign onto both NATO and EU.

  • Cuba: ‘Failed State’ or Besieged Nation?

    Jump

  • Is it really a failed state when most of its problems have been caused by a major outside aggressive influence? Wouldn't a failed state be when it has failed internally without sanctions or embargoes thanks to a certain global bully to its north.

  • Iranian drone hit British base, Cyprus president says

    Jump

  • The moment Starmer u-turned on allowing US access to their base, that was a given that it'd become a target

  • Anon wonders about Iranian leader

    Jump
    • becomes martyr at the hands of people he's said were "the devil" for decades proving his point.
    • Inspires supporters to fight against the existential threat the enemy has proven themselves to be.

    It seems a very stupid thing for US-Israel to give them all the ammunition in their internal propaganda war.

  • You know who we hate more

    Jump

  • You mean the deal that was in place, was working fine but torn up by Trump 1.0 simply because "it was an Obama deal" and a certain orange racist can't cope with anything a black man may have been involved in.

  • At least 9 killed as protesters storm US Consulate in Pakistan over killing of Iran’s supreme leader

    Jump

  • From British English, that the world uses, to US English, that is foisted upon everyone by the loudest person in the room.

  • The UN is defunct

    Jump

  • Honestly, I wouldn't want that either. All I'd be asking for is countries to be held to account for their actions. ALL countries. And a unified approach to dealing with counties if the super majority thinks that's the best option. No country should get too powerful to just say "nah, I don't wanna" and do what they want without recourse. Likewise no country should have a veto where 99% of the other countries say they want something done about it but one country, who has veto power, says they can act with impunity and that's all that happens.

    That is not how it should work but is how it currently works. The UN is meant to be a forum to prevent wars - but that fails when there are no consequences for those who start, propagate and support wars and genocide.

    Countries should sign into the union knowing that if they are tyrannical and the super majority don't like it, there will be consequences, even if purely economic. It should be written into the laws of all the countries who sign into the union. I don't think a UN Police should be required - all countries should work together to create a multi-jurisdictional force anyway.

    I'm surprised the Epstein class didn't traffick them out. Probably a talkative witness or victim amongst them.
