The Australian government and allies would rather enter a messy illegal war and associated blockade ("Hey, we're just hanging out in Hormuz in a purely... cough... defensive way") than tell the orange man to stop attacking countries on a fucking whim.

Trump has created a potential food security problem in his own country and around the world — a dubious accomplishment from a politician fond of saying he holds all the cards.

With energy and fertilizer prices spiking, those cards look like jokers for now.

WOW! The Iranian AI Lego team has another video out. They are doubling down on building bridges between Americans & Iranians while depicting the US gov and "system" as the real enemy. The music, lyrics, and imagery are all designed to appeal to disillusioned Americans.

MOD video shows troops under Iranian bombardment in war they aren't officially in

It cannot be claimed that the UK is not at war and at the same time post video evidence to the contrary. Enough of this patronising charade
