#KeirStarmer has insisted that the UK will not be drawn into the wider war in the #MiddleEast.

With #Starmer's long record of breaking promises, that should make it safe to bet heavily on the UK getting well stuck into the wider war. #sarcasm

But there is a wee problem: the #RoyalNavy has no serviceable ships. #oops

So this may be that vanishingly rare species: a promise that Starmer actually keeps. 🤣😅 #popcorn

@2legged #Polanski is asking why #Trump is showing a B52 bomber, claiming it’s dropping the biggest bombs you will ever see on #Iran…. And are they loading those B52’s in the #UK???? I think this is something we all want and need to know. Is #Starmer playing two sides, claiming the UK is not actively supporting the illegal war on Iran, while quietly permitting the USA to arm B52’s in the UK to bomb Iran?
@HarriettMB Good point. I think that its usually safe to assume that #Starmer is playing both side#s.

@2legged The demented aggressive racketeer in White Madhouse believes he can proceed as he did all his life:

Threatening & blackmailing each & everyone.

An international arrest warrant & his commitment into a padded cell may be the measures of choice!

Gangster Donald Trump’s great Greenland grab is a blessing in disguise for Keir Starmer.

The PM need no longer demean himself and us pretending the US machine gun-totting mobster is a hoodlum he can do business with. Trump isn’t. He’s a menacing racketeer deploying blackmail and threats of violence to demand what he wants. New York’s notorious five families would recognise Don Trumporleone as head of a sixth..

'Gangster Donald Trump's Greenland grab is blessing for Keir Starmer'

Donald Trump's bid to own Greenland is a blessing in disguise for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, says Kevin Maguire, as the President uses blackmail and threats to try and get his way

@2legged What made racketeer Trump say he'd look at Sean 'Diddy' Combs's case?

Among others Combs had been charged with racketeering conspiracy, the orange blackmailer's favorite pastime.

Sean Combs trial updates: 'Mia' details several 'violent' encounters with Combs

The hip-hop mogul is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

Trump's "administration" of its own organized crimes gives zero fucks for the constitutional duty to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed".

Its basic problem: It wrongly thinks it were not only the Executive branch of power held to execute legislation passed by Congress's legislative chambers, the Legislative branch of power, but it falsely implies & claims it were the sole branch of power, authorized "by god" to plague the nation & its United States with its numerous unlawful, illegal, anti-constitutional, anti-democratic, illiberal, outright insurrectionary & anti-American pamphlets it dares to call "executive orders".

Absolute power will lead to absolute lawlessness. Especially antisocially disordered lifelong career criminals like Epstein-bro Donald J. Trump, who should already have been behind steel bars for decades.

"...
Gangster president Trump and his Justice Department lackeys are engaged in a coordinated cover-up of his entanglements with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein by unleashing a blizzard of insults, lies, and worn-out conspiracy accusations to deflect criticism. So far this hasn’t worked.

But the same authoritarian tactics that have failed to kill the Epstein story were successfully executed most recently to seize ideological control of Columbia University and the Paramount/CBS media empire.
While their acquiescence to Trump’s censorious coercion briefly broke through, the Epstein scandal dominated cable television news for weeks.

Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame:
All their attempts to bend thee down,
Will but arouse thy generous flame;
But work their woe, and thy renown.

From wikipedia .... i don't think they should be singing this in the Albert Hall ? We have at least one (very vulnerable) aircraft carrier... you are supposed to protect them with a ring of destroyers, ha bloody haha.

@RichRARobi The carriers were built at Girdon Brown's command as a way of throwing billions at Scottish shipyards, and secondarily as photo ops for flagshaggers.

Militarily, they are chocolate teapots.

@2legged

With the rise of the drones, we would be better of with a bunch of a modern equiv of fast MTB 's as drone support vessels? Coast patrol boats?
