I have recently been called old and stupid on some political opinions... (by a close friend) so here goes...

The biggest #present danger to your UK is not China, North Korea or even Iran & Russia:

It's from #Israel and the #USofA...

so David, you just go on supporting #Netanyahu and #tRump... all the best with that...

@aral, et.al.

Adding some more "nuance" to this issue, specifically within the #USofA, via this extensive #Wikipedia entry:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_States

It's clear that the concept of "other/s" was/is defined from the initial colonizers fluid definition of what "we" or "us" is, which includes the integration of some/select "others" into the "us" tribe, i.e. so-called "white" people.

Speaking of, I'll re-recommend this #Throughline episode about that:

"Mere Domination - On Dick Cheney (1941–2025)"

"Whatever the war on terror means for history, that is also the meaning of Dick Cheney’s life."

Mere Domination | Richard Beck

“Men make their own history,” Marx wrote, “but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past.” That may be broadly true, but Dick Cheney got to make history under the exact circumstances he would have chosen.

You Can Just Do Things | Patrick Blanchfield

As ever, the horrors Trump embodies implicate more than just his singular odious person. His “habit of abusing power to force his will upon an uncooperative world”—in David Frum’s formulation over the weekend—is hardly a tendency idiosyncratically restricted to our forty-sixth president. It’s a core feature of the office, especially after decades of bipartisan fealty to the all-rationalizing theory of the unitary executive. No matter how crude or clumsy Trump may be in forcing his will upon the world, his grandiose and murderous entitlement is directly continuous with his predecessors’.

the shit show in the #USofA looks like The Peoples Congress, the Duma or any orchestrated clapping assembly you can imagine... and #TACO 's bambling along and along...

An All-American Superbowl

The racists bastards running our country at the moment did not understand a word of the Superbowl Halftime show that bad bunny put on. Watch it here (the NFL piggies will not allow a local copy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6FuWd4wNd8 Fortunately we were able to snag a viewing when we invited ourselves over for a fabulous Puerto Rican feast hosted by Harold and Jen. I mean, pernil, arroz con gandules, and mofongo?! What's not to like. We brought along beer cheese and Generals […]
