On any other news day, this would have been another nail in Starmer's coffin. That Special Relationship, eh?

A good weekend to bury bad news. Remarkable how sleazy the Paedophiles' Pals Party is. I mean, they've not had years in office to corrupt them yet.
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to keep up with der Sturmer's U-turns. Do I understand correctly that he's already U-turned twice on Iran? Has he yet promised to give Iran the Chagos Islands?
"Operation Epstein Fury"
ReplyDeleteThis isn't going to improve the economic outlook one bit, Rachel won't be happy.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to keep up. From the Daily Sceptic:
ReplyDelete"New Labour peer is suspended after it emerged he quit college role over ‘inappropriate’ sexual liaisons during work hours” – Freshly appointed Labour peer Lord Joe Docherty has been stripped of the whip while the party investigates claims of inappropriate sexual behaviour at work, says the Mail.
I'm not much one for conspiracy theories, but ...
ReplyDelete(A) little diddy Shahed [i] hits Akrotiri, nobody hurt
(B) Starmer U-turns and allows US to use UK bases "strictly for defensive purposes" ... (ii)
_________________________
(i) Iranian design, but very widely available worldwide (jus sayin')
(ii) don't know if Starmer has been told, but "UK bases" have been heavily in use by US forces for several weeks now, in the pretty massive buildup phase. The 'air bridge' has been a sight to behold.
The ghost of Jo Moore lives deep within the Labour Party. Scumbag as ever. That said as Anon above says "Operation Epstein Fury".
ReplyDeleteThe thing is this is looking like confidence calling on it's cousin hubris as soon as it set off. The Pentagon now briefs no immediate threat to US forces and is concerened it might run out of air munitions. And Even Eric Prince is sceptical of benefit.
Let us see how much the Gulf States are exposed.
Political decapitation of State leaders is now apparently a legitimate policy. (There were reasons that regicide again fellow Kings was frowned upon); and even if the rationale is a China based strategy a la Rabobank
"THE BIG WAR GAMBLE: The US strike on Iran is Trump’s high-risk gamble to choke China's energy lifeline, flip Tehran to allied control, open the India-Middle East-Europe corridor, weaken Russia, and lock in 21st-century US hegemony—delivering quick regime change and falling oil prices that cement Trumpism as a historic win, OR sparking Middle East chaos and global blowback that hands Beijing the advantage in a new age of empires."

Nick Drew I understood the line of evolution of the Shaheed was: Initial Germany build --> sold to Israel --> used to attack Lebanon -> shot down handed over to Iran --> reverse engineered --> Shaheed --> supplied to Russia in Ukraine --> upgraded in in some elements --> sold back to Iran --> current Shaheed;
ReplyDeleteI am however willing to be corrected.
My understanding is the Russian Shaheed is the Geran, but you would have thought it only comradely to feed back the development lessons to Iran. Indeed a quick Wiki tells me Geran 1 from Shahed 131 from South African Kentron ARD10 2004 version. And even stranger, the US are building reverse-engineered Shahed-136 (Geran 2) drones as Low-cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (LUCAS) drones. Just been deployed in the Gulf!
