Another thing that perhaps our US posters can clear up.

I thought only congress could declare war...?


Clearly what is happening now goes far beyond a fast reaction pre-emptive strike to urgent intelligence information.

Perhaps Donald will term it as a "special military operation" (I think I've heard that somewhere before - maybe his mate in Moscow told him to go down that road :-X )?

Pope aint missing the p***k anyway! Both main parties in america are funded by Israel backers and weapons manafacture. Given these backers affect US policy , how are they allowed to bck runners in  Congress and the Senate.

The current congress is nothing but a rubber stamp for anything Trump wants.

Nothing has changed for the GOP from the 2020 election when their party platform was "what HE said".

And nothing will change until it starts to hit US citizens. Petrol is up 45% at my local station in the last month, but it will take another few months of it to really start to hurt people as prices of everything climb. The country is so divided politically that Trump's base are happy to take it as long as the libs are crying. Unless coffins of soldiers start arriving home or there are attacks on US soil, I don't see much changing.

Looking like a Ceasefire will be announced going by twitter if that is to be believed.

The man gets bored too easily and some of the people in charge are honestly stupid, but massively overconfident. And the clever ones are in the background making billions.

The only thing is that Vance won't hold the cult together, but is Newsom the man to take it on for the Dems?
Won't happen but the Dems need someone not owned by Israel. Newsom is good on a lot of things but is pro genocide

Statement put out by Pakistan drafted by US. Deleted/edited tweet.

The clown car rumbles on. Pelosi finally calls for 25th Amendment and congress to end the war.

No one over 70 should be in such important positions.

So Iranians are still oppressed by what is essentially the same regime and diesel is 1.90.

Surely fuel will come back a bit now, probably not to normal but slightly better. Trump will be looking for an out as they'll never win this war.

There are many nations where the people are oppressed and nothing done, mainly two reasons no oil or the Israeli government have no desire to meddle in their affairs.

Iran were still launching missiles after the ceasefire was announced. Bahrain got a bad touch.
Broken before it even begins.

If thats real Iran have absolutely come out on top in terms of that deal, I'd be surprised if theres no mention of not developing a nuke on any deal.
