Second '100 days' working out much like the first, but with a Vance-proof Pope, a bigly white elephant plane, a few more legal push backs and way more grifting.

When did America go to war with Iran. How does this affect NATO? Were they told in advance?

If Trump tries telling UK gov to break UK laws to keep trade, I hope Starmer tells him to go fuck himself.

If they ban every countries citizens from entering the USA, they might be able to win the world cup. Maybe that's the reason. Scared of losing.

I was listening my to some analysis of why Trump came back and why he wanted the Situation Room prepared. Their view was that he is insanely jealous of the pictures of Obama in the situation room during the assassination of Bin Laden and that he’s desperate for similar pictures to be released of him looking suitably macho when Iran eventually capitulated (which in his mind is a foregone conclusion).

I can well believe that!

Difficult to imagine exactly what could make Trump look macho.It’s going to take more than a situation room.

And a lot of bronzer. Seriously a lot but make sure to avoid the eyes!

😂😂 well quite!

I do think American action in Iran is imminent unfortunately.

From the BBC website.

Israel's aim is to bring in the Americans' - former MI6 chief
The former chief of the UK's intelligence service MI6, Sir John Sawers, tells the BBC News Channel that Israel hasn't targeted some of the most important nuclear facilities in Iran, because they don’t have the military capacity to dig deep underground.
"Only the Americans have got that,” he says.
He says the big decision in Washington will be “shall we join the Israelis and complete the job” or find a diplomatic way out of this.
He cautions that there is also a danger that “you end up with a damaged and wounded Iran which has the nuclear programme still intact.”
But he thinks Israel's aim is to “bring the Americans into the conflict” so that US power can be used to destroy the nuclear facilities.

CaveMum · 17/06/2025 22:07

Only the US have the capability to use the “bunker buster” bombs which will penetrate the underground facilities. The Israeli air force is predominantly fighter jets so they just don’t have bombers big enough to carry them.

Also, there's a Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker circling around Mildenhall at the mo. I wonder if they're practicing their mid-air re-fueling. (It's on Flightradar24).

Well, that's typical! It's just landed after many, many laps.

Seriously! It touched down and took off again. 🙄

I know - it’s been circling over my bloody house for the last few hours 😜 - I’m about 9 miles from Mildenhall.

Edited to add they do a lot of take off/landing approach practice and when the jets from Lakenheath join in it gets VERY noisy.

JoshLymanSwagger · 17/06/2025 22:13

@CaveMum Ah yes. You can wave at him next time he flies over. Wink

It might be doing touch and go. (My late husband was former USAF).
