Article 5 of NATO though is not a commitment to come to the aid of other members, much as it’s constantly described as such. It’s simply a commitment to a discussion on an attack against another member.

The Attorney General has already raised questions about the legality of Israel and the US’ actions, I can’t see the UK getting militarily involved unless directly attacked.

I remember 2003 and "legal advice" and the UK and going to war.

I remember over a million people being told to go fuck themselves.

"All sound and fury (and bombs) signifying.....not very much."

It is a tale told by an idiot.

Are they as sure now (Iran) as they were then (Iraq) of the existence of nuclear weapons?

Well quite! Don’t let legality stand in the way of a good war. I do wonder if Starmer’s legal background will make him more receptive to arguments in that space though.

Forrest Gump comes to mind.

Saw this. TLDR: “I’m against the right to choose for all women. Except me, when I need a termination. For me, it’s a medical emergency. For other women, it’s an irresponsible form of birth control. PS…everything is the fault of the Democrats.”

Regime change? Just recalling where else USA has meddled in this 'necessity'. Pick a cars, any card, and choose the one that's improved the inhabitants lives the most. Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Egypt etc. Just for starters . Keep on keeping the peace Bigly, you're doing as well as expected and exceeding expectations in many ways.

I am vaguely reminded of an incident in the dim past where the masked "enforcers" were ambushed and one was kidnapped. However it was impossible to officially launch a search as they didn't officially "exist" ...

I wonder what would happen if an ICE raid went wrong and this were to happen ?

Just having a gentle browse through Twitter. Aside from the preponderance of MAGA rubbish, there’s some interesting historical stuff.

6 missiles fired and explosions heard “over” Doha - does that indicate they were intercepted?
