"I know Iran are not our friends"

They are laying their lives down whilst dealing literal death blows to the greatest evil in our world today.

At minimum they deserve to be respected.

They are correct about fighting a Satanic force.

Lad you are deluded. Deluded. It's ok to not like Trump whilst also awknowledging the Iranian regime is a brutal theocracy. They are not mutually exclusive stances.

I think you don't get it. Israel attacked Iran. Israel lobby lured US into this war. Israel is fascist
. Iran is the resistance.

The US lost the war.

Manchester City now have the scope to draw level on points with Arsenal should they win the two games in hand, starting with Chelsea on Sunday – and the game between the top two at the Etihad. Then it comes down to goal difference

Israel is Judeonazi.  It's fascist and has killed 1500 Lebanese.

Judeonazi makes as much sense as judeochristian.

A cop out term to avoid the awkward reality.

I wouldn't agree.
Israeli jews are fascist. Some if this has Jewish angles
Amalek or killing the women and children is Jewish. It was used in the genocide and is used in Lebanon.

Judeonazi gets close to the reality.

Jet fuel prices remain at double the level before the war, reflecting its relative scarcity.

 Michael O'Leary, chief executive of Ryanair, said earlier this month that if the war continues, then there was a risk of "disruptions in Europe in May and June", adding that "maybe 10pc, 20pc, 25pc of our supplies might be at risk".If

Liverpool want Arne Slot to remain manager next season
Owners believe Dutchman deserves to stay in charge; plus Van Dijk says 'unacceptable' form shows that it's the end of an era at Anfield

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group believes that Arne Slot will lead the club next season despite another defeat on Wednesday night and the manager's admission that the team are in survival mode.

The 2-0 loss to Paris St-Germain means Liverpool are on the precipice of Champions League elimination on Tuesday, with even match-going fans losing patience with Slot. Yet the expectation that Slot will be dismissed at the end of the season – or even earlier – is at odds with the mood from FSG in Boston and the British-based executives Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes.

The consensus is that Slot deserves to start next season, and that the transition from Jürgen Klopp in the summer of 2024 was not as simple as last season's Premier League title indicated.

Slot said that Liverpool were in "survival mode" for "large parts" of the defeat by PSG in the first leg of their quarter-final tie. Pressure has increased on Slot with the availability of both Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard, former Liverpool playing greats who have both won league titles as managers.

As things stand, FSG believes there is mitigation for performances: the death of Diogo Jota principle among them, given its effect on his team-mates at the start of the season. There has also been the fall-off in performance of the stars of the era, primarily last season's top goalscorer Mohamed Salah. Captain Virgil van Dijk acknowledged on Wednesday night it was "the end of an era" for many of the team, with Andy Robertson departing this summer when his contract expires.

While Slot is acknowledged to have made errors, the feeling is that he deserves four transfer windows before a judgment is made. The club estimate their net spend at around £150m under their manager, in spite of last summer's gross spending of more than £450m. Klopp had five windows before his first trophy, the 2019 Champions League.

Slot has a contract until the end of next season, and the club are of a mind to persevere into the last season of that deal before making any decision on a renewal or otherwise. Both Hughes and Edwards – sporting director and FSG's football chief executive respectively – have fixed-term deals that end at the same time. Both planned to stay for the contracted three years and no longer.

Slot is "fully involved" with recruitment plans for the summer, although events may dictate how that evolves. The club already have an agreement to sign Rennes defender Jérémy Jacquet for £55m with more changes planned.

Whether Alonso is interested in the Liverpool job is not clear, but the Basque coach, sacked in January by Real Madrid, asked not to be considered in the summer of 2024 when Klopp's replacement was being chosen. He elected to stay at Bayer Leverkusen then and moved after the following season when the Real Madrid job became available.

That unwillingness to follow Klopp, one of the club's greatest managers, contrasted with Slot's enthusiasm for the challenge, continues to figure in the thinking at the club.

This made me laugh

Strange times. Only Trump could make MTG sound sane.

MTG is in tune with the base who don't want war.

Trump has relied heavily on the super-rich, who accounted for about 34 per cent of the total haul, according to an FT analysis. Four donors — banking heir Timothy Mellon, casino developer Miriam Adelson, shipping magnate Richard Uihlein and Elon Musk — gave about $432mn. About 6 per cent of pro-Harris groups' funding came from billionaires.
